Auris (Isère, France)
Auris, often referred to by its official name Auris-en-Oisans, is a small mountain village nestled in the Grandes Rousses massif, in the heart of the Oisans. The site offers a calm mix of traditional hamlets and mountain facilities suited to visitors. People come for the views of the Massif des Écrins, the fresh air and an authentic atmosphere away from the large resorts. The terrain favors winter activities and summer getaways.
Heritage and village
The village retains stone and wooden houses and chalets, typical of the Oisans. The lanes remain quiet off-season, and the rural architecture recalls the history of a pastoral alpine area. The pastoral spirit of the place is easily spotted in the barns and sun-exposed terraces.
Nature and landscapes
From Auris, panoramas show the distant ridges and glaciers of the Massif des Écrins and the peaks of the Grandes Rousses. Larch forests and high-altitude meadows create strong contrasts according to the seasons. It is a starting point for observing alpine flora and the wide glacial valleys of the Oisans.
Outdoor activities
Auris has access to hiking and mountain-bike routes in summer, and to snowy slopes in winter via lifts linking to the neighboring domain. Ski enthusiasts find connections to the large Alpe d’Huez area, while hikers and snowshoers enjoy tranquil routes around the village.
