Ski-in/ski-out

Aussois is a sunny old village on a balcony in the Haute-Maurienne, with the lifts at the top of the village and lodging a short walk or ski away.

Get to know the resort

Aussois clings to a sunny, south-facing shelf in the Haute-Maurienne, a warm old stone village that has grown into a friendly little resort beneath the Vanoise glaciers. Its 55 km of piste climb from 1500 m to 2750 m, low enough for sheltered forest runs and high enough for dependable snow, with a gentle layout that suits families and improvers. The views across to the Dent Parrachée are superb, and the pace is calm and authentically Savoyard.
