Monolithe Nordic Ski Area
Located in the Maurienne Valley between Aussois and Val Cenis–Sardières, the Monolithe Nordic area offers 39 km of cross-country ski trails for classic and skating techniques, suitable for all levels. The trails wind through forests and plateaus around a spectacular monolith over 90 m high, resembling a menhir and serving as the emblem of the area.
Beginners and families can enjoy gentle skiing around the Sardières Nordic chalet. A green trail is also available at the Plan de la Croix for those wishing to get started in this sector. More experienced skiers can take on technical and varied routes starting from Aussois or Sardières, crossing forests, clearings, and scenic viewpoints.
Opening dates are subject to snow conditions.
