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 1st cross-country ski trails at the beginning of November* thanks to :
