Winter break in Murol: enjoy snow activities in the Auvergne

Azureva presents its vacation village in Murol, a charming village in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The Murol vacation village plunges you into the heart of a unique volcanic territory, where the sleeping puys are adorned with a fairytale white coat as soon as the first snow falls. Ideally positioned at the foot of the Château de Murol, our establishment is a haven of peace for unforgettable winter vacations. The Auvergne, a region rich in tradition and spectacular scenery, offers you an immense open-air garden. From our village, you can explore majestic volcanoes, Lake Chambon and, of course, snow-capped mountains. When you choose the Murol vacation village, you’re opting for authentic, accessible skiing, far from the crowded Alpine resorts – the secret of families who want to enjoy without breaking the bank.

The reception team at our Murol vacation village invites you to relax, ski and discover. Every week at the Azureva vacation village, a variety of activities, children’s entertainment and cultural excursions are organized to enhance your stay. In winter, the resort is transformed into a paradise for ski enthusiasts thanks to its proximity to Super-Besse. Azureva’s Murol vacation village cultivates that Auvergne conviviality of sharing a truffade with your table-mates after a day on the slopes. Our staff are always on hand to help you make the most of your stay.

Skiing at Super-Besse

From your vacation village in Murol, you have access to the Super-Besse ski area. A paradise for downhill skiers, it boasts some 33 runs, including illuminated runs for night skiing: 6 green runs, 12 blue runs, 9 red runs and 6 black runs. At the Murol vacation village, night skiing under the Auvergne stars is one of those experiences you won’t forget – guaranteed thrills, magic included. Prefer cross-country skiing? There’s plenty to do here too. Between lake and forest, nearly 146 km of trails await you during your stay. The Murol vacation village is the ideal base camp for cross-country skiers, with privileged access to one of the largest Nordic ski areas in the Massif Central.

Discover the surrounding area:

During your winter holiday, explore the snow-covered treasures close to our Murol vacation village. Glide down the slopes of Super-Besse until sunset, then extend your adventure on the floodlit pistes for a magical night-time session. Put on your snowshoes for a frost-covered stroll around Lac Chambon, or try your hand at horse-drawn skijoring on the volcanic plateaus. Visit the medieval castle of Murol and its knightly events, or head down to Saint-Nectaire to explore the maturing cellars of the king of Auvergne cheeses. Warm up in the thermal baths of Le Mont-Dore, or push on to the summit of Puy de Sancy, the highest peak in the Massif Central. Don’t miss the farmhouse inns where you can enjoy aligot, potée auvergnate and gentian, as well as fireside evenings – because in the Auvergne, après-ski is as much about dining as it is about cosying up under a blanket.

Snow conditions in Super-Besse: what past winters in Auvergne have revealed Super-Besse, in the heart of the Massif Central, offers an original mountain alternative with its volcanic ski area. Snow conditions in Auvergne are sometimes underestimated, but there are plenty of surprises in store for skiers who dare to venture onto the slopes of the Sancy. Here are the figures for previous seasons.

The total snowfall for the winter season indicates the overall volume of snow received by the resort. The Massif du Sancy, the highest peak in the Massif Central, creates its own orographic effect that favors snowfall. The number of snowy days reflects the recurrence of winter episodes in the area.

The average snowfall recorded at the foot of the pistes gives a concrete indication of conditions at the bottom of the resort, at around 1350 meters altitude. The maximum snowfall achieved in past winters shows that Super-Besse can experience very generous periods.

An analysis of Super-Besse’s snow cover allows you to plan your vacation in this unique setting with peace of mind. Between volcanic landscapes, crater lakes and beech forests, the Auvergne resort offers a different skiing experience. Only a few hours from many major cities, it’s an ideal destination for a first ski holiday or a family getaway with Azureva.
