Aussois is a charming and easily accessible resort situated on a wide sunny plateau at the foot of the 3697m Dent Parrachée in the Maurienne Valley. This historic village with its traditional stone-and-slate houses, shared in winter by man and beasts, is built around the central 'place' with its fountain and communal oven.
Despite concessions to modern tourism, Aussois has managed to retain its traditional appeal and makes an ideal base for anyone wanting to combine a ski holiday with the ambience of timeless rural France.
The colourful Tuesday market in Aussois offers mouth-watering local specialities such as goats’ cheese and homemade bilberry tart.
The autoroute and the TGV station (4hrs by train from Paris) are only a ten-minute drive away from Aussois.
Non-skiing activities in Aussois include snowshoe wildlife safaris, paragliding, and ice-climbing. Explore the surrounding plateau by dog-sled or try tubing – tobogganing on mini inflatable rafts. Don’t miss a visit to the Fort Marie-Christine esseillon forts, one of a chain of 19th century military fortifications along the mountain range here that has been converted into a gourmet restaurant.
Aussois was featured in The Telegraph's 'The 100 Best Ski Holidays 2009’.

ski info
Aussois has ten lifts serving 55km of piste and is best suited to beginners and intermediates looking for easing cruising runs amid spectacular scenery. However experts will also find something for them too. Aussois is a great family resort.
AUSSOIS SKI AREA
Although there are not a large number of pistes, the 1250m (4,100ft) of vertical drop from top to bottom and the varied terrain provide much diversity. Slopes are suited especially for beginners and low intermediates but high intermediates will find reds to hurl themselves down and some blacks too.
Every Thursday evening from 9-10 pm Aussois has night skiing - opposite Flocons d'Argent.
AUSSOIS BEGINNERS
Beginner skiers have a good choice of slopes right on the snow front. There are a couple of nursery slopes served by some drags and then some longer greens and blue from the top of the main lift.
AUSSOIS INTERMEDIATES
Above 2150m there are mainly red slopes with a few blues thrown in too.
AUSSOIS EXPERTS
Experts have a good choice of red slopes above 2150m and a few blacks thrown in too. There is a long black from 2750m called Balmes which takes you back down to the snow front at 1500m (although the last bit links up to a green).
AUSSOIS OFF-PISTE
Off-piste enthusiasts can ski powder snow at 3000m (Col des Hauts or Pointe du Fréjus), 1hr-walk, 1700m of descent.

Ski School
Please note that lesson times are subject to change right until the last minute. Outside French school holidays the ski school reserves the right to cancel group lessons should numbers be insufficient. For peak periods (18/12-2/1, 13/2-13/3 & 9/4-24/4) we strongly recommend that you book as early as possible and in any case at least 6 weeks prior to the required dates. Morning lessons tend to get booked up first and therefore we may only be able to offer afternoon classes within 6 weeks of departure.

Individual tuitions can only be purchased directly from the ski school. Peak Retreats cannot pre-book these.
