Val Cenis is in the High Maurienne valley, part of the French Savoie.
It is comprised of two traditional mountain villages, Lanslevillard and Lanslebourg, which are unspoilt and largely uncommercialised. Val Cenis is run by local people, who care deeply about making your stay a pleasant one.
Val Cenis has an excellent snow record, with snow accumulating during the season on largely North facing slopes.
In April 2019 Val Cenis hosted the prestigious Challenge des Moniteurs, with thousands of competitors taking part, showing the confidence in great snow conditions all season long.
MGS SKI is based in the upper village of Lanslevillard (1450m), where the main piste front is situated and lifts give access to the whole mountain, up to 2800m. It is here most lessons begin and where snow based evening entertainment takes place.
Lanslevillard is a genuine village, not purpose built. As well as shops, bars and restaurants, there are other amenities including a cinema, ice rink, swimming pool and bowling alley.
Our handy village map is in your accommodation on arrival, but you can also view it below to see the local restaurants, supermarkets and amenities available, CLICK on a restaurant dot to view a picture. You can also let us know in advance if you want to book any restaurants for during your stay as they are very popular, particularly in busy weeks of the season.
Even in inclement weather there is invariably great skiing available in Val Cenis, for example when low cloud or heavy snow causes white out conditions to upper slopes around 2800m, tree lined pistes up to 2000m bring improved definition and means skiing never stops.
Each week of the season we post a weather report for the coming week to get you excited about your forthcoming trip and help you plan your travel to the resort as we try to give you road conditions in the local area.
