The winter school will take place at Centre Paul Langevin, a charming resort in Aussois, at the heart of the Vanoise, a massif of the French Alps. It is located at 1500m, is frequently used for scientific events and allows for a large number of nature activities both with and without snow.
Access: We will arrange shuttle services from Grenoble for the participants on the 31st of March (day before the start of the conference) departing at 5 pm from Grenoble train station, with a return to Grenoble on the 5th April (departure after lunch, arrival at 4 pm at Grenoble train station). Please note that it would fairly difficult to reach Aussois on your own if you choose to do so (due to Aussois being not well-served by public transportation).

If you travel by plane, we recommend you to fly to Lyon Saint-Exupéry or Geneva airport, both of these airports have direct bus connections to Grenoble. Lyon airport also has a direct train connection to Grenoble.
