La Clusaz is the main ski and hiking resort of the area, with ski, now board and bike rental shops, ski schools, and guides for winter off-piste and summer climbing. Thones is a pretty, working town and better for 'supplies' - a good Champion , an excellent butcher and a large Saturday market. This is the centre of Reblochon cheese (best from the farm shops in summer) so don't leave without some! Annecy is a smart, historic town with elegant shops and restaurants, a monthly antiques fair and a huge retail park (Auchan, Decathlon etc.) at Grand Epagny. For those interested in 20th century history, the area was a centre of resistance in WWII; there is a small museum outside Thones as well as the plateau des Glieres worth a visit.
