It holds the ‘Famille Plus Montagne’
label for its superb children facilities. Older ones
can visit the newly built centre des Glières
(near les Balcons residence) which has an ice rink,
swimming pool and whirlpool, and is great value for
money.
Off the piste, enjoy a visit to the fromagerie or the
12 chapels culture trail. The weekly welcome drinks,
street animation and torchlight descents are not to
be missed. The après ski is quiet but the many
restaurants and bars, 2 cinemas and 2 discos, should
keep everyone happy. A good variety of shops and
supermarkets ensure that those self-catering will
find all they require. Val Cenis is only half an
hour's drive from Modane and the motorway exit.
