The slopes up to 2100m above the resort are pretty and tree-lined, offering great protection in bad weather and good terrain for those looking to develop their skills.

There is great learning zones in the valley and several long greens and blues above. Further up, above the treeline there’s a good mix of mostly blue and red terrain, but very few blacks and fairly limited steep terrain for off piste skiers. The lift system is generally good and has seen decent upgrades in recent years, plus there are further plans to expand the lift network in the coming years.

The resort itself is actually a collection of five villages in the valley, linked by lifts above and a bus service down below. Termignon is the further west, with Lanslebourg and Lanslevillard the two biggest – you will want to base yourself here for the widest variety of accommodation, quickest access to the slopes and the liveliest evenings after skiing. Prices are generally very affordable here too. Geneva is your nearest airport, with the transfer taking around 2.5 hours.

Green Credentials

Ski Club Recognised: Environmentally Sustainable Resort

The Ski Club uses third party independent assessments and accreditation of ski resorts to determine a resort “environmentally sustainable” – more information can be found here.

As part of the French Flocon Vert (tr. Green Snowflake) scheme, Val Cenis has been awarded one snowflake out of a possible three, representing investment in resources to reduce its environmental impact. Flocon Vert is an independent scheme operated by Mountain Riders, which accredits resorts in France who have met twenty criteria based on environmental, social and economic sustainability.

Val Cenis was first accredited in 2021
The resort has drawn particular attention for its local and youth-orientation economic development
Implemented in 2014, the state-of-the-art waste water treatment plant has garnered praise

Snow Overview

France

Updated 03/02

This week begins snowy for many areas in France with around 15cm coming down on Tuesday, before high pressure brings fine, dry and bright conditions on Wednesday – potentially creating an epic skiing day! Temperatures will remain cool, with the freezing line dropping through 1,500m to 500m overnight.

Snow returns on Thursday, with a big dump coming overnight into Friday – up to a foot could fall over higher ground at this time with around 50cm in total, snowfall continuing into Friday. Temperatures will warm slightly, with the freezing line hitting 2,000m confining this snow to higher ground; it does decline gradually, dropping off a cliff back to sea level on Friday night.

Cloudy, cold, and unsettled conditions will continue through the weekend, with the freezing line holding steady at 1,500m and flurries throughout this period.
