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.

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 04/03

After the madness of the last few weeks – which has seen large amounts of snowfall combined with quickly rising temperatures – things are settling down over the French Alps. Sun through the early part of this week gives way to cloud and overcast conditions, which will help elevate temperatures as warmth is trapped below this cloud cover.

The freezing line will climb from around 1,500m to the mid-2000s, entering a spring-like freeze thaw pattern overnight and throughout the day. The freezing line will peak at 2,500m before, on average, dropping again into the weekend.

The long term forecast will see a flurry of snowfall into the beginning of next week, followed by fine, dry and bright conditions as high pressure moves over the region.
