From there, half a dozen drags and slow chairs reaching 3000m serve good but very limited intermediate pistes. The pisted terrain can be explored in a day or two but it is the off piste which really makes Bonneval. It is plentiful and varied and is enough to keep skiers and boarders occupied for days. The off piste terrain can be found on two flanks of the Pointe d’Andange, including runs of 1150m vertical to the valley bottom. The altitude and many north-facing slopes ensure that the snow stays in good condition long after the snow conditions in most resorts have deteriorated.
Another significant feather in the cap of Bonneval is that it is quiet and you are therefore able to ski freely on the slopes or off piste. Should you fancy exploring a bigger or busier area then there’s plenty more skiing further down the valley. There are seven villages altogether at the base of the Maurienne, providing access to more than 125km of skiable terrain, including Val Cenis which has 56 runs to explore. All the villages are accessible by a free shuttle bus.

After a good couple of weeks for the French Alps, things settle down through this week as high pressure brings fine, dry and bright conditions to the region.
Temperatures will be warm, with the freezing line dropping only to 2,500m overnight and climbing as high as 3,500m in the midday sun. A rare flutter of cloud could move in over on Friday and Sunday, but otherwise spring is firmly here in the French Alps.
A couple of flurries of snow could fall early next week as the freezing line drops in to the new week, but it remains a bit too early to tell exactly how much, when, and where this might fall.
