About Les Aillons-Margeriaz

Les Aillons-Margériaz is a family resort in the Bauges massif. The historic sector “Aillons-Margériaz 1000” (945 m) permanently closed its lifts in March 2025 after several winters of recurring snow shortage, and is turning to year-round activities. Alpine skiing is now concentrated entirely on the “Aillons-Margériaz 1400” sector, which is higher and has better snow. It offers 22 km of mostly blue runs, ideal for families and intermediate skiers, with views of Mont Blanc.

Did you know?
The resort is unusual in being twofold, on two different slopes and two distinct mountains: Aillons-Margériaz 1000 on Mont Pelat and Aillons-Margériaz 1400 on Mont Margériaz, about a dozen kilometres apart. Founded separately (1964, then 1980), the two resorts merged in 1990.
The ski area lies at the heart of the Bauges Regional Natural Park, labelled a UNESCO Global Geopark for the richness of its geological heritage. Mont Margériaz is notably famous for its lapiaz and its network of sinkholes.

✍️ Our view of Les Aillons-Margeriaz

Les Aillons-Margeriaz is a small, understated resort: 22 km of runs for an intimate skiing experience, far from the bustle of the big resorts. This is where people come for calm, authenticity and no queues at the lifts. The family reputation of Les Aillons-Margeriaz is well deserved, with dedicated beginner areas, a well-run childcare service, well-groomed green runs and a friendly atmosphere at the foot of the lifts. It is one of the most reassuring resorts in the Northern Alps for getting children started on skiing. The moderate altitude of Les Aillons-Margeriaz, starting at 1,400 m and peaking at 1,850 m, makes it sensitive to climate variations. January and February remain the safest months for optimal snow cover. Outside this window, checking the snow reports before you travel is strongly advised. With a day lift pass at only 22€, Les Aillons-Margeriaz is one of the most affordable destinations in France. For families on a tight budget, or skiers who want to get in plenty of days without breaking the bank, it is a sincere and often overlooked choice.
