Description

The Essert ski area

The village resort of Abondance offers a gondola-accessible ski area close to the village center. The area is particularly well-suited to families: from green runs to black runs, from beginners' areas to snowparks, there's something for everyone!

The different sectors of the ski area - Le Lac, La Corne and Fremoux - offer a variety of slopes at different levels. Beginners can learn to ski in a dedicated area with lifts adapted to their level. Younger skiers can try their hand at freestyle in the new snowpark or perfect their jumps.

The Ludoffaz snow front, just a stone's throw from the village, is a run for tobogganers and skiers.
