SELF-CATERING RESORT

Tourist activities to discover in the winter around Self-Catering Resort Murol
The Murol Self Catering Holiday Resort (Massif Central) is in constant contact with all the tourist activities on offer in the heart of the Massif Central and in the Auvergne. Murol has been home to several romantic and impressionist painters who have immortalised the treasures of the region, which can be admired at the Murol Museum. The charm of the Massif du Sancy’s stunning winter landscapes won’t escape you either...
Anyone who loves nature, heritage and crafts, your winter self catering holiday in the Auvergne is sure to bring out your adventurous side. Troglodytic houses, farms and producers of Saint-Nectaire cheese, Auvergne clogs and boot craft workshops, châteaux and Romanesque churches will no doubt be among your discoveries.
The Vulcania amusement park, which is around 45 km from the Resort, is perfect for kids as they can learn the history of the volcanoes in the Auvergne and across the world. The essence of Auvergne awaits, all around the Murol Self Catering Resort!

Our themed activities
The Murol resort (Massif Central) is located in the pretty village of Murol, 17 km from the Besse Super-Besse ski resort (free shuttle available during the winter holidays) and 7 km from the Nordic ski area of Beaune-le-Froid. It’s the ideal place to show kids the joys of winter holiday activities in the Auvergne. Alpine or Nordic skiing, sledding, snowboarding, snowkiting, snowshoe walking or dog sledding... The Auvergne is also the perfect place to take some time out and recharge as a couple. Combine the benefits of outdoor activities with those of a spa and the area’s thermal waters, and you will have the perfect recipe for a great winter holiday! The pristine landscapes have a wonderful gentleness here, with wooded slopes, stone cottages nestled in the snow and shimmering lakes. Besse Super Besse is a sunny south-facing ski resort with 43 km of slopes between the altitudes of 1,350 and 1,800 m (84 km of slopes when the Mont-Dore link is open). Make the most of our So-Ski service before you leave, and save time and money by reserving your ski equipment and packages.
The Auvergne club-village has something for the whole family. Kids who don’t ski are looked after by the qualified activity leaders at the 2 kids’ clubs (for ages 3-12), which are open during the February holidays. They’re going to have so much fun! In the evening, our warm and welcoming activities team has a few “après-ski” surprises in store for you.
