Snow in Auvergne: skiing and snowshoeing

In winter, the volcanoes change face and the resorts open. We've kept the ski areas and snowshoe spots we know, without trying to be exhaustive: the selection is short and it will grow season after season. Look at the page before you set off, snow conditions are decided on the morning itself. Filter by département or by departure town to see what's closest to home.
