Les Karellis: a resort like no other

Les Karellis has been a unique concept in tourism development since its creation in 1975. Founded by Pierre Lainé, the resort stands out for its integrated approach to the natural and human environment: the beginnings of what is now known as sustainable tourism.

In fact, Les Karellis is the only community-based resort in Europe, made up entirely of players from the social economy and municipal services. 

Everything here is run on a cooperative basis, even the shops and restaurants! The money is automatically reinvested, making the resort a model of responsible development.

At Les Karellis, everything has been designed to make you feel at home, in an unspoilt, family-friendly environment that you won't find anywhere else.

Did you know?

A long, smooth grass called ‘Karèle’ grows on the sunny slopes of the Montricher mountain pastures. In days gone by, young shepherds used to have fun sliding down the slopes on this grass.
