Our view on skiing in Val Cenis
Val Cenis Vanoise ski holidays are not on the radar yet largely because many skiers tend to head for the large ski carousels year after year such as the 3 Valleys or Paradiski.
However, for those in the know, the skiing in Val Cenis Vanoise is fantastic with great pistes and zero queues plus the authentic villages in the valley offer a unique gastronomic experience. The other plus factor is that everything from the lift passes to the apres-ski and accommodation costs a fraction of the price of the mass tourism resorts.
