Les Crosets

Les Crosets is a very small resort set on the sunny plateau above Champery. At nearly 1,700 metres altitude it has a great snow record and being small just about all the accommodation in this micro-resort gives ski in ski out access to the gentle skiing of the surrounding area. This makes Les Crosets perfect for families looking for a quiet environment in which children can learn and a great base for keen skiers wanting easy access to the huge Portes du Soleil area.

Les Crosets is uniquely positioned in the Portes du Soleil region and gives direct access to the whole region of 650km of pistes and much more off piste. For a good skier, it is possible to reach Avoriaz in 20 minutes, Super Morzine in 50 minutes and Mont Chery on the far side of Les Gets in 1.5 hours. The slopes of Chatel or Morgin are less than 40 minutes away on skis. Just two lifts is all it takes to reach the famous 'Swiss Wall' (Le Mur de Chavanette) which is rated as Europe's longest piste drop and in the top 10 of the world's hardest ski runs.

The transfer time from Geneva Airport is less than two hours which makes Les Crosets a good base for a ski weekend. Ski passes can be issued by the hotel reception desks which helps when time is short. Some of the hotels, like the Mountain Lodge, also have their own ski hire shops which stay open late. This allows skiers to arrive in resort late on the day of their arrival in resort but still have their lift pass and equipment hire arranged that same day.
