At the heart of mountain biking terrain

 

With its 1,220 meters of altitude difference, the resort of Auron is the largest mountain biking area in the department. 50 km of slopes to try in a large natural setting. The mountain biking area is served by 4 lifts including a detachable chairlift for safety and optimum comfort. Experts or beginners, adrenaline junkies or just naturally curious, the 17 trails have something for riders of every level.

 

Great fun, exciting descents and superb panoramas

 

Experienced snowboarders can enjoy free entrance to a snow park. The resort also has areas for cross-country skiing. For snowshoe enthusiasts, the Puy area is a dream with perfectly quiet, wooded trails. When it comes to entertainment, the family park in Auron has a fun course for children and adults, whether they’re skiing or snowboarding. The resort’s snow front offers beginners wide green piste which is close to the resort’s restaurants. Beginner skiers aged 3 and up can enjoy their first time sliding on the snow in the ‘snow garden’ while younger ones, from 6 months to 3 years old, are welcome all year round at the Oursons nursery. Whether you’re with your family, an experienced skier or an enthusiastic beginner, Auron is the ideal resort for a sunny ski break.
