Skiing and Reblochon

Make the most of the lovely spring days to soak up the atmosphere of the Annecy Mountains.

A DAY IN THE HEART OF THE ARAVIS MASSIF

FOR A COMBINATION OF SKIING AND DISCOVERING THE LOCAL HERITAGE
SPRINGTIME SKIING

Take advantage of the morning sun on the slopes of Le Grand-Bornand and La Clusaz-Manigod

Our lift passes adapt to your needs and can be purchased online for instant access to the slopes. This year, two new slopes offer an amusing way to learn about the mountain environment and mixed-farming practices. In La Clusaz, the Envers blue slope, known as the Reblochon slope, appeals to both children and adults, offering a perfect mix of information points, activities and even a treasure hunt. As for the Defi Môme slope in Le Grand-Bornand, this will keep the children amused with a succession of fun modules, slaloms, hoops and a tunnel featuring a bell, a farmer and bales of straw.

Le Hameau des Alpes

Once off the slopes, discover the history of our mountains in this traditional chalet where skiing and reblochon cheese take pride of place

Le Hameau des Alpes is a truly unique and beautiful site. Upstairs, you can find out how skiing practices have evolved and learn about the resort’s history, through images, videos and items of equipment. The ground floor is devoted to a larger-than-life treasure hunt that reveals how reblochon cheese is made, via an amusing interactive museum tour with a modern approach. A fabulous experience not to be missed!

Reblochon cheese tasting

You absolutely must visit the Suet Farm or the cooperative of Thônes!

Now that you know all about the history of reblochon cheese, it’s time to come and see how it’s made! At Suet Farm in Saint-Jean-de-Sixt, you can visit unguided, free of charge, any evening and without booking ahead. You’ll also be able to see the animals and purchase reblochon cheese from the farm shop. If, on the other hand, you’re already back down in the valley, the Thônes cooperative stays open until 7pm. You can no longer visit but the reblochon is as delicious as ever, so you can still take a little of that Aravis flavour home with you!
