Take to the heights in Auron
Race down the slopes of the largest ski area in the department of Alpes Maritimes. While parents admire their little ones trying their first time on skis in the snow kindergarten, thrill-seekers can go to the Vertige d’Auron, a 5-metre promontory over a sheer drop which gives a stunning view of the Vallée de la Haute-Tinée and the mountains of the Mercantour. No fear! We can get through the weekend. Linked to Saint-Étienne-de-Tinée, the resort also offers original snowshoeing hikes, one inspired by yoga and the other with a raclette in the middle of nature for foodies. And when night falls, with a full stomach or a soothed mind, test the resort’s new gem: the lit-up Le Colombier run. A lovely way to finish your snowy outing with stars in your eyes.
