The Ski Resort
There are just 90 km between skiing in Auron and the port city of Nice. This makes the winter sports resort in the Maritime Alps a ski area with Mediterranean flair. Whether beginner or professional, on the different slopes everyone will find the right thing for him.
The area is divided into several areas. For example, snowboarders and freestylers are catered for, with a fun park with half-pipe, rails and tables.
For cross-country skiing enthusiasts, a small circuit and a short trail are offered. However, the Mercantour National Park with its icy waterfalls offers an excellent environment for ice climbers.
