Great resort to stay relaxed and be quiet. If you;re looking for a party apres ski maybe not the best option, but great for families and riders who want to work on their skills and improve technique on quieter and greener slopes. Plenty of slopes to challenge yourself as well

Val Cenis is a very friendly welcoming place, its beautifully picturesque.
You can choose many varied run types from high up open blues, reds and a few blacks.
Then lower down ride a tree lined run, most are quiet too.
The food and drink here is superb, it has a very local atmosphere.
Overall its a great place

Great, family friendly resort. Easy access to slopes. Good variety of runs. Wide range of accommodation to choose from. Limited nightlife but plenty of good restaurants serving wholesome savoyarde dishes
