Val Cenis ski resort overview:
Val Cenis is a ski resort in the Haute-Maurienne valley of the French Alps, in Savoie, close to the Italian border. It is made up of several traditional villages, including Lanslebourg, Lanslevillard, Termignon, Sollières and Bramans. This gives it a more authentic, lived-in feel than the purpose-built resorts elsewhere in the Alps. The ski area has roughly 125 km of pistes, ranging from about 1,300 m to nearly 2,800 m. The Val Cenis Piste Map is worth studying before you arrive, as it shows how the villages and sectors link together. The high altitude helps keep snow reliable through the season. The terrain suits a broad mix of abilities. There are plenty of gentle blues and greens for beginners and families, as well as steeper reds, blacks and good off-piste for stronger skiers. Because the resort is spread out and less famous than the big-name areas, the slopes are often quiet. Away from the pistes, you can try snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and ski touring. Dog sledding and ice climbing are also on offer. Après-ski is relaxed, with cosy bars and hearty Savoyard food such as fondue and tartiflette. Val Cenis is reachable from Chambéry Airport or Turin Airport in around two hours by road, and the transfer from Lyon Airport is a little longer. It’s a good choice for families and anyone who prefers value and space to a busy party scene.
