Want to go sliding without the hassle? Renting a snowboard in Aussois is the ideal way to enjoy a friendly ski area at the foot of the Dent Parrachée. With its wide groomed boulevards, larch forest passages and panoramic views of the Vanoise National Park, Aussois has everything you need for a simple, successful holiday.

As for the weather, Aussois enjoys plenty of sunshine: perfect for mornings on freshly groomed snow. After a fall, aim for the upper slopes, which keep out the cold better. In January, bring warm layers, S2/S3 goggles and sunscreen. In spring, snow often falls in the late morning on sunny slopes: start early and seek shade in the afternoon. In strong winds, stay below the tree line for best visibility.
