The Skiers' Guide to Bonneval sur Arc: Expert Analysis & Reviews

At the top of a spectacular valley with great views. However, it is north facing, great for snow, not so for staying warm. The toilets are as limited as Ive ever seen. 2 places on whole area and the only up the mountain 1 is a natural toilet (which I advocate fully) but the smell and ammonia was out of this world. There are a few lifts, mainly drag and old chairs. Many rocks were evident at the higher pistes which gave my skis a beating unfortunately. We tried to eat out twice. Once, the limited restaurants werent open and the second, with a reservation, the waiting staff were possibly the rudest I have ever been served by. A bit of snowfall made the off piste rideable but unfortunately wont be venturing back.

Amazing resort for all abilities quite quiet and very good off piste and steep for the advanced skiers, good quiet runs for beginners, not very good apres there could be more but because its quite small its fair enough a few good bars and very good ski in and ski out accommodation

A very quiet small resort at the top end of the Maurienne valley. Great ski touring base but resort options go to 3000m. No wild nightlife but some simple good restaurants doing mountain food. Very different from neighbouring Val dIsere (though 3 hours by road in winter). Attractive stone built traditional village
