About Bessans

The little French village Bessans on the eastern border to Italy is a popular ski resort. The commune on the high plateau mauriennais has only 300 inhabitants but especially in winter tourists and even the French national team come to Bessan to use the slopes and lopes. The huge frozen dam caused by a rockslide during the glacial period is an ideal place for skating.
