Ski area Essert - Abondance

Little by little, you'll get a taste for skiing at Abondance: a beginners' area and pistes for all levels, a snowpark and small off-piste runs for the more adventurous, and a panoramic restaurant to relax and enjoy. A real family ski vacation!

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 slopes of varying levels of difficulty.
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.

Open according to weather and snow conditions.
Opening days and times on request from the Abondance Tourist Information Office on 04 50 73 02 90 or the ski lifts on 04 50 73 76 87.
