Bessans Nordic ski area
1740 m - 2000 mAll of the slopes are marked out in alternating and skating technique, so you can enjoy long runs and get the right feeling right from the start.
Hours of relaxation or sport, at your own pace, amidst snow-covered immensities and larch forests, in a natural setting where the Charbonnel is always there to reveal its incredible glacier.
Every year, Bessans opens its first cross-country ski trails in early November thanks to:
- Bessans' unique geographical location (high plateau surrounded by glaciers, sub-zero temperatures at night from autumn onwards).
- the snowfarming technique (storing snow from one winter to the next under a thick layer of sawdust)
Whether you're on foot, snowshoe or fatbike, take advantage of the opportunity to discover the charm of the resort!
