Val-Cenis

Thanks to the lifts at the Val Cenis Termignon ski resort, you can enjoy a high altitude loop that feels like a real journey. What could be more comfortable than to pull yourself effortlessly up to the open mountain pastures?

Description

The roches blanches chairlift is just waiting for you to start its ascent. With an intrigued eye, you may catch a glimpse of thrill-seeking mountain bikers hurtling down the "blue cheese" enduro track. As soon as you arrive at Replat des canons, the trees reveal the Vanoise glaciers and the majestic Dent Parrachée. At 3697m, it dominates the valley like an emblematic totem. Climb to the top on foot and feast your eyes on the panorama from the Sort de l'Erellaz. A 180° glimpse from Aussois to Termignon offers the luxury of a few luminous photos. The smell of resin and the sight of the famous snow heather will almost make you forget the occasional difficulties of the descent. Don't hesitate to take several refreshment breaks. Listen...to the silence and calm of the forest. After passing under the Tannes ski lift, you may well come across the walkers who link the valley's villages on the aptly named "chemin du petit bonheur".
