Val Cenis is the largest resort in Haute-Maurienne
Vanoise.
Older ones can visit the centre des Glieres in
Lanslevillard (near Les Balcons du
Village residence) which has an ice rink,
swimming pool and whirlpool, and is great value for
money. You get free access with the Val Cenis
accommodations Les Balcons du Village & Les Balcons en
Haut.
Off the piste in Val Cenis, enjoy a visit to the
fromagerie or the 12 chapels culture trail. The
weekly welcome drinks, street animation and
torchlight descents are not to be missed. The
après ski in Val Cenis is quiet but the many
restaurants and bars, 2 cinemas and 2 discos, should
keep everyone happy. A good variety of shops and
supermarkets ensure that those self-catering will
find all they require. Val Cenis ski resort is only
half an hour's drive from Modane and the motorway
exit.
