SuperDévoluy is the pioneering resort of the massif, born in 1966 from a desire to create an ultra-functional “integrated resort”. Dominated by the emblematic “Bois d’Aurouze” building, listed as 20th-century heritage, it offers a unique ski-in ski-out concept where everything is accessible without a car. Nestled at 1,500 metres altitude, it faces the majestic Pic de Bure and offers direct access to the 100km of slopes of the Dévoluy ski area. It’s the preferred destination for families for its practicality and generous sunshine.

Overview of Superdévoluy
SuperDevoluy stands out for its bold 1960s architecture, dominated by the Bois d’Aurouze — an imposing slab-shaped building housing the majority of services and accommodation. This design aims to offer direct slope access and maximum convenience to visitors, like a snow liner. A few more recent hamlets, such as Les Chaumettes, have introduced more traditional constructions and modern tourist residences, while maintaining immediate proximity to the slopes. The architecture prioritises functionality: step out of your apartment directly onto the ski area base — the departure point for all adventures.

🎿 Alpine skiing: 100 km
💰 Day pass: 46 €
The Devoluy ski area extends across 100 km of runs, with a 1,000 m vertical drop, between 1,500 and 2,500 metres altitude. It is equipped with 22 ski lifts, including 5 chairlifts and 17 drag lifts, ensuring good flow even during busy periods. The predominantly north-facing aspect guarantees quality snow throughout the season. The two resorts, though distinct, are linked ski-in ski-out, offering skiers a varied experience. The Devoluy ski area has a majority of blue runs, complemented by runs for beginners and more experienced skiers. Located between the Northern and Southern Alps, the Devoluy benefits from a transitional climate — combining the snowfall of the Northern Alps with the sunshine of the Southern Alps. At altitude, snow is rarely lacking. Its north-facing aspect allows the ski area to remain open quite late into spring.
