Aussois-Val Cenis Sardières Nordic ski area
1500 m - 1600 mIt owes its name to a 93 m-high geological curiosity made of cargneule, a sedimentary rock, located in the forest near the pistes, which resembles a needle or a huge menhir.
Once you've got your skis on, the plateau around the Chalet Nordique is the perfect place for children and beginners to discover their first gliding sensations in classic style, or to learn straight away how to skate.
For more experienced skiers, this area is a good warm-up before setting off to conquer the numerous ascents and descents in the area.
