Skiing and mountain trails
The Monolithe Nordic area offers several trails for walkers and snowshoe hikers from the starting point at La Croix on the outskirts of Aussois. The hike to the Plateau des Arponts is a marked 7-kilometre circular route with 400 metres of ascent. Its starting point is on the RD83 from Aussois towards Sardières, at the Plan de la Croix car park.
The Via ferrata du Diable comprises seven independent sections, ranging from easy to very difficult. The complete loop is 3,760 metres long and takes six to eight hours.
Nature and mountains
Aussois lies in the heart of Vanoise National Park, where fauna and flora are protected. From Aussois, the park’s core zone can be reached by the Grand Jeu chairlift, as well as by car or mountain bike via the dam road to the Plan d’Amont car park.
The Plan d’Amont and Plan d’Aval reservoirs are located in a relatively unspoilt setting on the edge of Vanoise National Park and are considered easily accessible. The Plan d’Aval reservoir is a publicly accessible fishing area containing rainbow trout. The Sentier des sculptures is a land art trail on which Serge Couvert, a sculptor from Aussois, shapes trees.
Culture and history
The Esseillon forts can be reached from the village via a footpath or by car to the Fort Victor-Emmanuel car park. In winter, access from Aussois is possible on foot or with snowshoes, as the road is closed. Three of the five Esseillon forts can be visited independently or as part of a guided tour.
The Espace des gravures rupestres is located in Fort Victor-Emmanuel on the Esseillon site. It is open free of charge in summer and includes casts, videos and a light cathedral installation.
The Parc archéologique des Lozes is located about 2 kilometres outside the village and offers a walk to rocks polished by glaciers that bear prehistoric traces. The L’Arche d’Oé agro-pastoral museum offers guided tours on the history and development of Aussois and on life in the village in the past.
The Notre-Dame de l’Assomption church in the centre of the village was built in the 12th century and extended and altered in 1648. Its interior is characterised by Baroque features; the rood beam is considered one of the finest in Savoie.
Leisure activities in the village
The La Buidonnière leisure complex includes a building with a swimming pool, sauna and wellness area, a pump track, tennis courts, mini-golf and other leisure facilities.
