Annecy is close enough to resorts like Manigod, La Clusaz, Le Grand Bornand and Saint Jean de Sixt to make it a ski destination.
If you want a more cultured base than a typical village, Annecy is a beautiful place to return to after a day on the slopes and isn’t more than 45 minutes from any of the local ski areas.
They’re all at low altitudes and well-suited to families and newcomers: Manigod for example has 17 kilometres of wide and an easy slopes, while Le Semnoz offers short-term lift passes by the hour or day, which obviously makes things a lot more flexible.
Highest-rate of all is La Clusaz, with the most challenging runs of all the resorts around Annecy.
