This village resort has managed to preserve its traditional alpine heritage and charm, alongside developing into a fantastic modern ski resort.
Val Cenis is a quiet and traditional resort located in the beautiful Maurienne Mountains. The resort is split up into two areas, Lanslebourg and Lanslevillard, which offer skiing high on the Col du Mont Cenis near to the Italian border. The lift pass also covers the nearby resort of Termignon, which opens up another 45km of piste.
This resort is great for all levels of ability and especially beginners and intermediates as it has the world’s longest green run, and blue runs that start at 2800m, the highest point in the resort. There is some great, easily accessible off piste too, as well as two snow parks to keep the snowboarders amongst you entertained.
The villages of Lanslebourg and Lanslevillard are bursting with culture and have a great mountain atmosphere. As well as this there are plenty of après ski facilities to keep your group busy in the evenings too, these include ice skating, swimming, a cinema, disco and a variety of restaurants and shops to sample local dishes and pick up some souvenirs of your trip.
