1 hour and 30 minutes away from Nice and its international airport, the ski resorts offer a prime playground between snow and sun, sea and mountains.
They enjoy numerous advantages, particularly an exceptional climate with 300 days of sunshine per year.
Thanks to investments (165 million euros) made over the past 15 years, 62% of the Isola 2000 area is covered by snowmakers and Auron by 55%.
This Tuesday, Christian Estrosi, President of the Metropolis, announced the official launch of the ski season for the Nice Côte d’Azur resorts.
The Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis offers winter sports enthusiasts an exceptional playground. With peaks over 3000 meters, several resorts (Auron, Isola 2000, Saint-Dalmas-le-Selvage, etc.), and kilometers of slopes for all levels and in all areas.
Isola 2000, ranked as the 6th snowiest resort in France on Sunday, November 12, 2017, with 70 cm of snow at the foot of the slopes, announced today that it will open early on November 25.
The early opening of the resort allows Isola 2000 to host the training camps of the Côte d’Azur Ski Committee athletes.
With 40 centimeters of snow at the summit at an altitude of 2,400 meters, Auron will open its ski area on the weekend of December 9 and 10. As a pioneer of alpine skiing in the Alpes-Maritimes, Auron now has the largest ski area in the Alpes-Maritimes department.
Guaranteed thrills throughout the winter with the Mercantour Resorts, whether they are sporty, cultural, gastronomic, or relaxing!
The novelty of this year: monumental sculptures created by a Nice-based artist will appear on the slopes.
