Accueil » Stations » Manigod

A small charming resort located between the Col de la Croix Fry and Col de Merdassier, Manigod combines tradition with accessible mountains. In winter, its slopes are linked to La Clusaz’s ski area (125km of slopes). The resort also has a fine Nordic area on the Beauregard plateau. In summer, its alpine pastures and views over the Aravis, l’Étale or Mont Charvin offer a perfect setting for hiking, whether with family or solo. In winter, it shines with its warm atmosphere and floodlit night skiing. Visitors come to Manigod for its authenticity, calm and quality snow, but also for its Savoyard way of life, between chalets, farmhouse reblochon and grand views.

Overview of Manigod

Manigod is an authentic mountain village where traditional chalets blend into a picture-postcard setting. The village sits below on a south-facing hillside. The resort is organised around the Cols de la Croix Fry (1,477 m) and Merdassier. On the Beauregard side, the Nordic area spreads across a high-altitude balcony plateau. On the alpine side, the runs connect to La Clusaz. Manigod has no animated centre — rather a scattering of hamlets with a handful of characterful addresses such as Le Hameau de mon Pere.
