Quiet slopes in January. Access to other resorts in lift pass. Efficient buses to get you to different areas. Some lifts run slowly. Some unpisted runs. We took the car to Bonneval sur Arc. Some really great skiing there.

Visited val cenis 18th to 23rd January, stayed in the lower village of termignon. Overall a great resort for a family and beginner skiers and snowboarders. Huge area to explore, Plenty of green runs including the longest in Europe. Very well looked after slopes. Blue and red runs higher up give plenty of options for the more advanced riders. We also did the night sledging from the Columba slope which was a little pricey at 8 per run but was soo much fun. Overall though Great value for money and would recommend to a family as a perfect choice.

Family friendly quiet resort. Lifts can get busy during school holidays but not like other resorts. North facing slopes so good snow conditions.Not overcrowded, with a good selection of accommodation.

Val Cenis is a brilliant family friendly resort that offers a range of runs for people of all abilities. Lovely choice of accommodation to suit a variety of budgets. Great snow even end of season. Would recommend to anyone wanting a great ski trip that wont pull the purse strings too much.

My husband and I visited Val Cenis on a last minute snowboarding holiday last March (2024) with our 3 year old daughter. We really enjoyed our week there, and for many reasons;
1- There was a great variety of runs, which are well linked
2- There's a good mix of tree runs and higher, open runs
3- The off-piste potential is amazing (we got there the week after a huge amount of snow, so just missed getting to enjoy it!), with an easily accessible large bowl at the top of the resort
4- The accommodation we stayed in was ski in/ski out
5- the lifts were mostly decently fast (2 gondola's, mostly chairs, only a few drag lifts)
6- The park was small but offered a good variety of features, and was well maintained
7- The "crèche" that our daughter attended in the mornings was fantastic, and had a couple English speakers; she LOVED her time there!
8- It's an easy enough resort to get to; not too far into the mountains, so no tricky/dodgy roads
All in all, a great family resort with a decent array of runs to suit most levels (expert to pro level may get a bit bored if there's not enough decent snow).
We would visit again, for sure

Val Cenis is a great, family friendly resort. Its a good size with plenty of runs. It looks like there is good off piste terrain (with the right conditions). Apres is quiet but thats expected with a resort like this.

Very quiet resort. Isnt many bars/ restaurants in the resort. Up the slopes is no different. Still very quiet in that aspect. However has some of the most peaceful and beautiful piste and off piste runs Ive seen, taking you to your door step.
