Aussois is a commune in the Savoie region of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes in Southeastern France. It is situated in the Maurienne valley, 7 km away from Modane and near the Vanoise National Parc, France's first National Park. It is also at the foot of the Dent Parrachee, one of the highest peaks of the Vanoise.
The main activity of the village remains agricultural but has become a popular family ski resort in winter and a beautiful mountain destination in summer.
Aussois' ideal location at the border of the Vanoise National Park allows for transportation links with Grenoble, Geneva, Lyon, Turin, and Chambery. The best way to reach Aussois is from Modane, where you can take a shuttle at the bus station next to the railway (S52 Line between Modane and Sardière, more information here), or a taxi to Centre Paul Langevin, located at 24 rue du Coin, 73500, Aussois.
On Sundays, the bus from Modane's bus station to Aussois departs three times: at 9:05 AM, 2:00 PM, and 5:00 PM.
The Lyon–Modane and Turin–Modane railway lines have been fully reopened since March 2025. You can reach Modane by train from either Lyon or Turin via the Fréjus tunnel.
By train: To reach Modane's train station (8 km from Aussois) from Paris, Lyon, and Turin, SCNF and Trenitalia offer direct trains. You can book your train tickets directly on the rail company's website using the link provided above.
