Bessans Nordic ski area

Bessans

With the Nordic France label, Bessans offers 120 km of groomed trails that will take you to the heart of a high plateau that has nothing to envy of the Great North: immaculate valleys, glaciers and peaks peaking at over 3000 m!

- 2 snowshoe itineraries
- 2 multi-activity itineraries to Val Cenis and Bonneval sur Arc resorts
