Nestled in the heart of Haute Maurienne, Val Cenis seduces with its perfect balance between mountain authenticity and modern infrastructure. With 125 km of slopes spread over 1,500 meters of altitude difference, the resort offers the largest ski area in the region. Whether beginners or experienced skiers, there is something for everyone, with the added bonus of a breathtaking view of the neighboring Italian peaks.
For nature lovers, Val Cenis is also an ideal gateway to the Vanoise National Park. Snowshoe hikes allow you to explore exceptional snowy landscapes, while thrill-seekers can try snowkiting, one of the key activities of the season.
But Val Cenis does not stop at board sports. The resort, which brings together five charming Savoyard villages, also offers unique cultural experiences. Don't miss the archaeological museum, where you will immerse yourself in the prehistoric era thanks to local remains.
Finally, Val Cenis also stands out for its two Nordic areas: Val d'Ambin in Val Cenis Bramans and Monolith in Val Cenis Sardières, perfect for cross-country skiing enthusiasts. This winter, the resort will host the finale of the 7th stage of the famous Grande Odyssée VVF, the unmissable event for sled dog enthusiasts.
