Visitor Reviews of Val Cenis


Richard Hallam from United Kingdom writes:

I recently stayed at club hotel Alpazur. It was clean and tidy with great food. The prices for drinks are reasonable and the staff friendly.

The skiing area is limited but there are some good runs at Bonevelle and La Norma for the more experienced skier. They have had plenty of snow making conditions, easy and good for experienced and beginners alike.
