Val Cenis Piste Guide

Val Cenis is a wonderfully welcoming place to learn, with dedicated beginner areas in both of its villages set apart from busier through-traffic, so first-timers can build confidence at their own pace. Families will love the Escargot, Europe's longest green run at 10km — a gentle, playful descent through the trees that makes for a memorable first "big" ski down the mountain together. When little legs need a rest, the resort's toboggan run offers 900m of fun for kids from age five upwards.

More experienced skiers have plenty to sink their teeth into as well, with 125km of varied pistes rising from 1,300m to 2,800m. Wide, sunny reds provide satisfying cruising for confident intermediates, while black runs from the summit deliver proper steep, technical terrain for experts — all with sweeping views towards the Italian border and the Vanoise National Park.
