 Poster: A snowHead
|
I expect it's a silly question but if I don't get this right it will be slightly annoying.
Planning a lads trip to Les Carroz in Jan, when I search apartments I get a mixture of Les Carroz and Carroz d'arches. I expect they are the same place but the last thing I want to do is book int C-d'A and find it is a cheeky little suburb 2 miles outside the main village which will add to the evening stroll from the local restaurants.
Thanks for help.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

It is the same place. There is a part a bit out of Les Carroz, further back down the road but that is called Araches la Frasse.
Love Les Carroz, (stayed there about 5 times, 8 in the whole Grand Massif ) so any further questions i would be happy to help.
PM me if you wish.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

ianbradders, Araches La Frasse is the commune, The village of Araches is the original population centre (got quite a bit larger for a while in 1840's when nearly all of cluses burnt down!) and made watches before skiing became important and is still the admin centre down the hill from Les Carroz. La Frasse is another village in the commune.

Thanks Guys. My attention to detail on the spelling was poor. A lot of the rental places I am finding tend to be in "Les Carroz D'Araches", how far is that away from Les Carroz centre, I don't want to find myself a 20 minute walk away from bars/restaurants and lifts etc?
Cheers for help.

mheadbee, as ianbradders, states its the same place, les carroz d'araches is the full name, les carroz is what everyone uses. There is a free bus that goes around the village anyway, there is not that much ski in ski out, but there are heated lockers at the gondola station

You'll need to Register first of course.

Excellent, thank you. Cleared that up.
Needed to make sure, we usually go to Chatel but after 5 years fancied a change. Chatel is great but we stay just outside main drag and although we have a lift on our doorstep it is a small nuisance at night after a few beers. We wanted to make sure we are nearer the centre next time we go somewhere.

Hi
As mentioned in previous posts they are the same place, great ski area and you can't really go wrong with the Grand Massif ski area. Lovely village with some stunning views.
Regards

mheadbee, You are probably only a ten minute walk from the centre even on the outskirts of LC. Check out Hotel Les Airelles, either the hotel or they have three maybe four small apartments at the front. There is a drag right out the back door you can then ski down to the main gondola and ski back in.
Or Chalets de jouvence are ski in/out on the same lift. Really nice but expensive. Both about 5 mins brisk walk to centre.
Budget is Sunotel which is bang central but a short frequent bus ride to the lifts. Also stayed in Hotel Le Croix de Savoie and Fermes de Soleil.
