Val Cenis
Val Cenis is a charming traditional resort in the Haute Maurienne, offering excellent skiing for beginners and intermediates alongside authentic alpine character.
Quiet, scenic skiing away from the crowds
The Maurienne Valley offers a more relaxed take on Alpine skiing, with authentic villages, wide-open landscapes and far fewer crowds than its neighbours. Stretching deep into the French Alps, it blends reliable northern snow with sunnier southern aspects for a great all-round experience.
From the expansive Les Sybelles to family-friendly Val Cenis and smaller, great-value resorts like Aussois, it’s ideal if you’re looking for variety without the hustle and bustle. Easy motorway access, good train connections and a genuinely local feel make it a refreshing change.
