Resort Information - Val Cenis

Val Cenis is situated in the Maurienne Valley and is composed of three villages – Lanslebourg, Lanslevillard and Termignon – with skiing to suit all abilities including 1500m of vertical drop for those who prefer the more extreme. A relatively unknown and non commercialised resort, Val Cenis started it’s history as early as 218BC when Hannibal and his elephants crossed the Alps into Italy via Mont Cenis. Today, it is a beautiful tourist area with great skiing and all the facilities you would expect in a ski resort but still able to offer low prices whilst boasting accommodation of all styles. All of the apartments in Val Cenis are located around the foot of the pistes which make it even more accessible to those who want to get the most out of skiing without a long mountain hike to start of their day.

Not only does this resort offer a varied ski area of 125km, but it also offers those activities that the not so keen skier would be interested in. From ‘Ski Taxi’s’ and Paragliding to Husky Dogs, ice rinks and breath taking architecture, Val Cenis has something to offer everyone.
