Auron in winter
Auron is a ski resort on a plateau at 1,600 metres, above the Tinée valley. Its ski area is the largest in the Alpes-Maritimes.
Discover Auron
An old grain store
Before skiing, the plateau was farmland and pasture for Saint-Étienne-de-Tinée. The road arrived in 1934. Three years later, Auron opened the first cable car in the département. In the village, the Chapelle Saint-Érige, a listed historic monument, keeps wall paintings telling the lives of saints.
135 km of runs
The ski area rises from 1,250 to 2,450 metres, across four sectors from Las Donnas to Lieuson. It has nine black runs. In summer, the lifts carry mountain bikers: the bike park has thirteen trails. Since 2022, the UTMB Nice Côte d'Azur ultra-trail has started here.
Our chauffeur services in Auron
Getting here and away
From Nice Airport, the road follows the Tinée valley and reaches Auron in 1 h 55 min. After Saint-Étienne-de-Tinée, a single road climbs to the plateau. In winter, our cars are ready for the snowy road. The fare is set when you book, from €300. A family and its skis fit together in the V-Class.
Summer over the passes
The Col de la Bonette, one of the highest road passes in Europe, is close by. It only opens in the warm season, like the Col de la Lombarde into Italy. We drive you up for the view, then bring you back down to the resort. For the UTMB start, we drop you in Auron before the race.
A day in Auron
Take the cable car up to Las Donnas early in the morning. Come back down for lunch on the square, by the ice rink. In the afternoon, switch sectors and ski until the lifts close. In the evening, our excursion service takes you back to the coast, or on to Isola 2000 for the next day.

Your questions
Frequently asked questions
How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Auron?
The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €300 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €400 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €500 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). The winter rate does not apply to ski resorts: this price holds all year round. The price is shown before you book and does not change afterwards.
How long does it take from Nice Airport to Auron?
About 1 h 55 min to reach Auron (95 km), as a guide only: depending on the season and the time of day, the journey may take longer. Your chauffeur tracks your flight: if it is late, they wait for you and the waiting time is free.
Is the Col de la Bonette open in winter?
No. It only opens in the warm season. In winter, we drive up to Auron through the Tinée valley, in vehicles equipped for snow.
Can you take us to the UTMB Nice Côte d'Azur start line?
Yes. We leave you in Auron in time for the start of the race.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. The price is shown before you book, including VAT and per vehicle, and it does not change afterwards.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes: child car seats and booster seats. Just mention it when you book.
Can I cancel my booking?
Yes. Up to 6 hours before pick-up, you can cancel free of charge or change your booking yourself, from your booking page (and during the hour after a booking made later than that). After that, contact us directly and we will do our very best.
How do I pay?
Directly on the website, by card, when you book: your booking is confirmed straight away. You can also pay in the car, by card (American Express accepted) or in cash.
What is the difference between a private chauffeur (VTC) and a taxi?
A VTC (private-hire chauffeur) is booked in advance and its price is fixed when you book. A taxi can be taken without booking, at a rank or in the street, and its fare usually depends on the meter. Riviera Private Driver is a VTC service.
