Bessans Ski Map

The Bessans piste and resort is located in the Haute-Maurienne Vanoise area of the French Alps. A peaceful and picturesque resort known for its exceptional Nordic skiing rather than thrilling slopes. Sitting a high up at around 1,750 metres, Bessans offers one of the most reliable snow records in the region and a paradise for cross-country skiers, biathlon enthusiasts and lovers of quiet mountain landscapes.

Although Bessans is not a traditional downhill ski resort, it does have a small alpine ski area ideal for families and beginners. A handful of easy and gentle slopes, for beginners and those learning to ski. The peaceful environment and lack of crowds make it especially appealing for those wanting a relaxed skiing environment.

The village is charming and traditional, friendly locals and a strong sense of mountain heritage. Visitors can explore local craft shops, taste local cuisine and of course enjoy the winter activities of snowshoeing, dog sledding, fat-biking and winter walking routes.
