Les Chalets de La Clusaz - Chalet Le Caribou

Les Chalets de La Clusaz - Chalet Le Caribou is a self-catered chalet in La Clusaz, sleeping 20 in 8 bedrooms. The nearest lift, Crêt du Merle Ski Lift, is about 370m away — close enough to walk in boots. It has a hot tub and a fireplace. In the last week of December the afternoons are short and everybody comes in cold, which is when a hot tub stops being a luxury and starts being the best thing in the resort. Beds: 2 extra-large doubles, 4 large doubles and 8 singles, with 7 bathrooms.

La Clusaz scores 21 out of 100 on our Christmas Snow Score, with the village at 1040m. That makes it more weather-dependent than most in late December, which is worth weighing before you book.

At 20 guests this is a whole-group chalet — two or three families, or the kind of Christmas where everybody comes. It lists family facilities such as a high chair or family rooms, which is the detail that decides it for anyone travelling with small children. It is self-catered, so you cook — including on the 25th. That suits groups who want to eat on their own schedule.

Resort supermarkets keep short and unpredictable hours over Christmas and many close entirely on the 25th. Order ahead or shop on arrival. A chalet this size usually only goes as a whole, so it is a better fit for a group that has already formed. Pets are not allowed. Check the bed layout and what is included (linen, towels, final cleaning) on Booking.com before you book — Christmas week is often sold as a fixed seven nights.
