This page gives you a brief idea of the fabulous, and nearby, skiing available here in the Beyond country.
There are a number of very good specialist Webs out there with plenty of French ski information. Have a look at our Other Links - Sports section.
Downhill Skiing
The southern Alps of France are famous for downhill skiing.
Two major ski stations, Isola 2000 and Auron, are less than two-hours drive from the coast (Nice or Cannes).
A smaller ski station popular in the Nice-Cannes-Grasse area is
Gréolières-les-Neiges.
At 1450 m altitude and located in the south, only 50 km north of Grasse, the ski season is shorter here than at the higher and farther locations.
It's easy to get to, though, and set in a lovely and relaxed setting.
Local schools often go on weekly outings to Gréolières-les-Neiges.

Cross-Country Skiing
We've been cross-country skiing in the northern Alps, and the "cross-country" included an enormous amount of time slogging upwards and short slides back down again.
In the southern Alps and Pre-Alps of the Beyond region,
there are many plateaux where you'll get more "cross-country" than climbing.
If you prefer the up-and-down method, however, there is plenty of choice in that area as well.
