## About Aussois

Aussois is a real village at the gate of the Vanoise national park, the oldest national park in France. It faces south across the Maurienne and gets a lot of sun, and its skiing is modest, wooded at the bottom and open above.

The Barrières de l'Esseillon, a chain of nineteenth-century Savoyard forts, sit just below the village and are worth an afternoon.

## Where lessons start

Sunny, quiet and unintimidating, with the village right at the foot of the slopes. A sensible choice for a first week away from the big Tarentaise machines.

## Getting there

Modane is 10 minutes, with its station on the Paris–Turin line.
