Summary:
Very poor for beginners, no traditional wide beginners slopes for learning to turn etc. Green mostly narrow and winding, blues mostly steep and twisty in places (no good for confidence building, as my wife and kids can testify)
Ski school very poor, did not teach, just lead pupils round increasingly steeper slopes in snow plow. Rubbish!!!
Most pistes poorly groomed, if at all.
Village full of dog muck and fag ends.
Good lifts and no ques.
Friendly locals. Ok for intermediates (like myself) and above, but not that good.
On the whole, just don't go, much better resorts to visit. This is the only skiing holiday I have ever had bad things to say about. Been to 6 other resorts and loved them all.

Verbier, Bad Gastien, Fopolo, St Larry, Aviemore and Glen Shee. ALL BETTER THAN VAL CENIS !!!

Summary:
I was looking for a non-purpose built resort, located in a traditional village, with decent access from an airport. Also: resort had to have north-facing slopes, gladed runs, and smallish crowds. Found it here, with easy access to the Trois Vallees, and to Bonneval sur Arc. This place is great for skiers and riders serious about racking up quality milage on the hill, and for families. The nightlife is minimal, but the atmosphere is excellent. Lodged at the CIS-Val Cenis: Excellent value, hearty food, wonderful services (THANK YOU ALL. Looking for a HOLIDAY with your rowdy UK mates? DON'T come here. Thanks!

Summary:
The two resorts are not very pleasing to the eye and very French, very little english spoken but if you try the local
people are truly welcoming .
The resort will keep intermediate happy skier for a week
and for those with a car la Norma and Bonneval are within 20 mins ,plus many more resorts along the valley.
