The Aravis Lodge Advantage – going the extra mile
With this being our own home base, we have much more flexibility as to what we can offer our guests over and above that which many other accommodation providers can, which we think is a fantastic advantage for our guests who stay at the Lodge.
This is what we believe keeps so many of our guests coming back year after year!

Resort Improvements in Le Grand Bornand – Winter 2018
We saw plenty of work and action in Le Grand Bornand throughout the latter half of 2017, preparing for the winter 2017 – 2018 season ahead. This has resulted in some great improvements to the ski slopes and beginner’s area around the resort. Read more here…
Ski Lift Improvements in La Clusaz – Winter 2018
This year’s main development in La Clusaz was the new fast 6-person chair lift for Cret du Merle – complete with a new office and cash desk building at the bottom. This new ski lift will drastically improve the capacity and speed of uplift from the village centre. Read more here…
What’s New in the Aravis Mountains Ski Domain
First of all – the name has changed a little, and the Aravis Mountains now becomes incorporated into the wider Annecy Mountains.
This new rebrand for the region is a recognition of the strong links that our home resorts of La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand have with the town of Annecy. Read more here…
Where Do We Run Our Ski Weekends?
Our main base for our ski weekends and midweek breaks is at the Aravis Lodge in St Jean De Sixt, 5 minutes from the resorts of La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand.
We also offer skiing holidays in the Savoyard resorts of Les Contamines, St Gervais and Samoëns, all of which are under 1 hour 15 minutes transfer from Geneva Airport. Read more here…
In-Resort Snow Reps for Le Grand Bornand and La Clusaz
One of the additional services we used to really pride ourselves on was that of ‘Ski Hosting’.
This was where we used to accompany our guests onto the pistes, to show you the best slopes, restaurants, views etc.
Sadly, now due to the more rigorously enforced legislation in France, we can no longer offer this, so are introducing our new Snow Rep Service instead. Read more about it here…
Night Time Skiing and Snowboarding Under the Full Moon in La Clusaz
An unforgettable chance to ski or snowboard until 1am with just the light of the full moon to guide your way!
La Clusaz holds this unique event during every full moon throughout winter. You can catch the ski lift up Crêt du Merle and ski down in full moonlight, stopping at mountain bars on the way to enjoy live music, vin chaud and the fantastic atmosphere that always accompanies these events. When you’ve skied enough for the evening enjoy the party in the bars in La Clusaz. A truly special event that will stay firmly in your memory long after you go home! Read more about it here…
Ski Weekends and Ski Holidays for Singles and Solo Skiers
Sometimes going on a ski holiday or short break can be a bit off-putting for some single or solo skiers. Whether because of the additional cost of single room supplements, or simply being alone when everyone else is in a group having fun, it’s not always the ideal scenario.
Here at Ski Weekender, we don’t think you should have to miss out as a result of either. Whilst we don’t offer specific ‘singles only’ holidays or activities, we do go out of our way to ensure you feel welcome and included to whatever degree you choose. Read more about it here…
Activities for Non-Skiers in the French Alps
Are you a non-skier? Tired of your friends and family going on ski holidays and you being left behind because skiing isn’t really your thing?
Why not join them and explore the magic of our beautiful ski resorts off the slopes, then still enjoy quality time with them afterwards? Read more about it here…
