Aussois

Among the towns of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Aussois stands out for its position on the sunny side of the Maurienne Valley, beside Vanoise National Park. The village looks across the Arc valley towards high Alpine slopes, while mountain pastures and reservoirs mark the terrain above it. Aussois is also closely tied to the Barrière de l’Esseillon, a chain of forts built by the Kingdom of Sardinia after 1815; Fort Victor-Emmanuel is its most imposing surviving work. Hiking, skiing and cycling connect local life with the surrounding mountains rather than a single resort centre.
