Super Besse

Super Besse is a ski resort set in Auvergne's volcanic landscape, with runs ranging from 1,300 to 1,850 meters in elevation. Over 40 kilometers of trails with varying difficulty levels allow skiers of all abilities to find suitable terrain for their skills.

The site was developed in the middle of the 20th century as a winter sports destination, taking advantage of the volcanic terrain. This expansion made the area one of the regional centers for winter sports in central France.

The resort holds a central place in the winter sports life of the Puy-de-Dôme region, reflecting how this mountain community embraces snow sports as part of its seasonal rhythm. You can see this in the way hotels, restaurants, and shops are arranged around the skiing lifestyle.

The terrain is well-connected by over 20 lift systems serving different slope sections. Equipment rental and lessons are available on-site, and most areas are reasonably accessible to visitors.

A 1,300-meter roller coaster operates on the mountainside during summer months, drawing visitors year-round to the location. This allows the resort to remain active and popular well beyond the winter season.
