About Auron Ski and Summer Chalet

Auron is a ski resort located in the south of France, in the Alps close to Nice, just an hour and a quarter from Nice Airport by car. If you prefer, you can charter a helicopter to take you to the resort and be whisked there in a few minutes.
Auron is one of the communes that make up the National Park of Mercantour, one of the wildest spots in southern France. Mercantour is now famous for its wolves, reintroduced about 25 years ago, and its impressive ornithological variety. Here, you will almost certainly see vultures and eagles, and if you are lucky you might catch glimpes of marmots, chamoix and the rare mouflon sheep.

The resort is as beautiful in summer as it is in winter. The great thing about Auron is that it is so close to the Cote d'Azur, you could go skiing in the morning and Mediterranean swimming in the afternoon!
The village (created in 1937) is at 1700 meters altitude. The ski area includes about 135 km of piste, culminating at 2400 meters above sea level. 42 tracks (3 green, 16 blue, 15 red and 9 black). 21 lifts.

We are pleased to offer this lovely chalet built in the traditional Alpine style. It is deceptively spacious inside (220m²). Located in the Chemin des Colettes (on the east side of the village) it is 800 metres from the center of the village. The chalet is south-west facing so catches the sun and sunlight. There is a terrace with a dining table with chairs and two loungers. A barbecue is available.
