Abondance Piste Map and Overview
Abondance combines the charm of a quiet Alpine village with access to a grand ski domain – making it ideal for anyone who wants a peaceful base with big-mountain potential. You ski from the Essert sector, reached by gondola from the village, and enjoy a mix of green, blue, and even some black runs, all framed by scenic forested slopes. The atmosphere in Abondance feels very traditional: think cozy mountain chalets, friendly ski lifts, and fewer crowds than in the more famous high-altitude resorts – yet you’re still just a shuttle or lift away from the huge Portes du Soleil area.
For snowboarders, Abondance is a hidden gem. Its modest lift network and family-friendly terrain make it great for carving and exploring at a relaxed pace, while more adventurous riders can use the Portes du Soleil ski pass (see below) to link up to bigger, more varied slopes across 12 resorts. The combination of a peaceful village base and access to a vast ski area gives the best of both worlds – quiet evenings by a wood-burning stove, then big days of exploration.
