Just a few notes on Merdassier and Manigod.
Manigod is a village just like La Clusaz (though smaller), and although you can't ski to or from Manigod,
it has two ski stations, Merdassier (or domaine de L'Etale) and Col de la Croix Fry.
Merdassier is a sympathetically purpose built station, at an altitude of 1500 metres, and is on the La Clusaz ski circuit.
Mainly self catering appartements, with shops, restaurants, and a few hotels, Merdassier benefits from being on the piste,
with skiing to and from your front door. Pistes range from nursery slopes to a Black run, off piste and powder when appropriate,
all within a small area. Click on the link below to go to the Manigod tourist site.
