School ski trips to Val Cenis
Nestled in the Maurienne Valley just a short transfer from Turin, Val Cenis is a high-quality ski resort with plenty of opportunities for skiers of all abilities. Gentle slopes trailing back to your accommodation allow for good progression, while the resort’s smaller queues ensure your group will benefit from longer time on the mountain – and more time improving their skills through the week. Outside of ski time, the traditional villages of Lanslevillard and Lanslebourg offer plenty of evening entertainment.
Features
In Val Cenis, your group can enjoy the variety of long, well-groomed blue runs, open bowls and tree-lined runs, plus challenging reds and blacks for the more advanced skiers.
Many slopes are north facing – meaning good late-season snow conditions – and the fact the resort is quiet means snow conditions last longer than elsewhere.
