Alpine ski area — Arêches-Beaufort

The Areches-Beaufort Nordic ski area offers a dual cross-country skiing experience across two distinct sites: a valley-floor area at Marcot, ideal for initiation, and an exceptional high-altitude route on the Cuvy plateau, with a panorama over Mont Blanc. The Marcot site (730 m), departing from Beaufort, offers 15 km of groomed trails for both classic and skating technique. This valley-floor area at 730 metres altitude follows the Doron river and includes 4 runs at all levels (1 green, 1 blue, 1 red, 1 black), making it perfect for learning. Areches-Beaufort shares the Beaufortain massif with the well-regarded Les Saisies Nordic ski area, around 30 minutes’ drive away. This Olympic site (Albertville 1992 Winter Games) offers 120 km of marked routes between 1,650 and 1,720 metres altitude, renowned for their quality and snow cover.
