Auron is right in the middle of a majestic cirque of high mountains (up to an altitude of 2450 metres) and in winter offers you 135 km of ski runs. In summer, hundreds of kilometres of footpaths weaving through spruces, pines and larches await you.

Auron has four skiing areas (Demandols, Sauma Longue, Las Donnas) and together with Isola 2000 is one of the department's sunniest and most popular ski resorts.

Auron was founded at the beginning of the thirties. It has a superb chapel dedicated to St Érige built from dressed stone, with a Romanesque bell tower and timber lath roofing, typical of the Alps (inside are some remarkable wall paintings). The tourist office is also housed in a fine stone building with a shingle roof.

The rest of Auron consists of very smart chalet buildings with wooden balconies, where you will easily find accommodation, as well as numerous restaurants with terraces, where you can enjoy the high altitude sunshine

In summer it's the hiking season, through meadows and forests where you will have the opportunity to admire ibexes, chamois deer, marmots, buzzards, hawks, etc. as well as 2,000 species of different flowers, 25 of which are very rare indeed !
