Fun pistes

Do you know the famous oiste of Jacques Le Bucheron in Auris, featuring brightly coloured modules for a fun ride down? This is the place to come for whoops, moguls, banked turns, tunnels, slalom, pipe, canyon, figurines and photo points. And good news for the kids – your parents will love it too!

Jacques Le Bucheron

Jacques the lumberjack has taken up residence in the forest. Never without his axe and red-checked shirt, he shows skiers his logging work throughout this blue slope. This is a themed run located on the Corniche piste, featuring attractions and coloured modules of all kinds, together with original scenery and sculptures. This fun area is a great opportunity for sharing a skiing experience with friends and family. There are other fun pistes throughout the l’Alpe d’Huez Grand Domaine Ski.

Beginners’ area

Auris has its own beginner’s area for learning how to ski in complete peace of mind. The snow front has been redesigned, with 2 conveyor belts installed for easy learning.
