Auron Ski Resort Guide
Auron, along with Isola 2000 are two of the larger resorts in the Alpes Maritimes, popular with weekend skiers from Nice and unfairly overlooked by North Europeans. Auron is the lower of these two, and favors more advanced skiers than does nearby Isola. The ski area of Auron is linked by cable car to the charming traditional village of St Etienne de Tinée (1140 m) and both Auron and Isola often benefit from early season snow that misses the big resorts to the north.
Resorts close to Auron include:
Valberg (14 km),
Beuil Les Launes (15 km),
Sauze Super-Sauze (18 km),
Isola 2000 (19 km),
Le Seignus (25 km),

Visitor Reviews of Auron
Vickie Cantwell from United States writes:
I skied Auron and Vallberg as a kid of 12, 13, and 14. Wow, that was 47 years ago. Still looks like a great little place. Would love to go back some day. I remember one New Years eve we were swimming in the Med on the Cote D'Zure (where we lived) and the next day: New Years Day, we were in such a blizzard of a snow storm in Auron, even yellow goggles didn't help much. I have great memories!
