Skiing in the Haute-Maurienne

In winter there are 6 ski resorts in the Haute Maurienne: Val Cenis, Valfréjus, La Norma, Aussois, Bessans and Bonneval sur Arc. Together they make 350km of alpine ski slopes and 200km of cross-country ski slopes. Whether it is to enjoy a leisurely ski on green and blue slopes, for speed and challenge on the red and black runs or for activities such as free ride, ski-touring, or maybe even biathlon, the resorts in the Haute-Maurienne Vanoise have something for everyone.

La Dent Parrachée

With its peak at 3697 metres, la Dent Parrachée is visible throughout most of the Haute Maurienne valley, from Bramans to Lanslevillard. It’s the highest point of the largest ice sheet in Europe. The climb to the top is very popular in the Maurienne valley but is reserved for accomplished mountaineers. Less experienced hikers can enjoy the trails around the refuge of the same name, in an authentic high mountain environment.

Mont Cenis Lake

The Mont Cenis plateau is particularly remarkable for its magnificent lake. Historically, although a lake has always existed, its current size far exceeds that of the past, making it all the more impressive. Today, it’s a reservoir which provides water for the Villarodin-Bourget hydroelectric power station. A walk of around five hours around the lake allows you to discover some of its secrets, such as the old Italian dikes.
