Aussois is a commune in the Savoie department in the Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France. Although not as well known as other resorts right on the other side of the mountain like Val Thorens, it is popular with the French as ski resort in winter and as mountain destination in summer. It is ideally located in the Maurienne region with good transport links in and out of Modane, Lyon, Geneva and Chambery. It offers 55 km (34 mi) of slopes, 21 slopes (6 Green, 5 Blue, 8 Red, 2 Black).[1]
