Cross-country ski area — Bessans
📅 Open 31 October 2026 to 4 April 2027
Location of the nordique ski area — Bessans
Alpine ski area — Bessans
Skiing at Bessans takes place on 133 km of cross-country ski trails — a touring or sporty experience very different from alpine skiing. The vast Bessans plateau is perfectly suited to this. The trails wind around the village along the Arc river, which descends the entire Maurienne valley for 140 km. Unlike traditional Nordic ski areas, the Bessans ski area has very few forested sections. It is however particularly cold in the mornings, as it is situated in the valley floor. When conditions allow, it is possible to ski to Bonneval-sur-Arc from Bessans, or vice versa. A trail also climbs into the wild Averole valley.
