7 good reasons to ski in April at Val Cenis
Why ski in April?
1. For the snow!
Generous snow cover until the end of the seasonWhile people on the plains are starting to put away their sweaters and hats, the snow is still very much with us in April at Val Cenis. At the summit of the resort, at an altitude of 2700 meters, there is always between 1 and 2 meters of snow at the end of the season. With most of the pistes facing north, we can ski right through to Easter*. And in spring, the snow is softer and more pleasant to ski, ideal for skiers of all levels.
Slopes open until April 21, 2025. Partial opening from 12/04 to 21/04.

2. For the sun!
Mild weather and longer daysSkiing in April also means exceptional weather conditions! The days are longer, the temperatures milder, and the sun is often out. There's nothing like a break on a terrace with a breathtaking view of the Vanoise National Park and the Dent Parrachée to fully savor this springtime atmosphere.
3. For the spot!
The slopes all to yourself and a wide choice of accommodationIn April, the slopes are less crowded, which means more space to ski, no waiting at the lifts and more peace and quiet. It's the perfect time to perfect your technique or simply enjoy the slopes at your own pace. On some days, you'll have the slopes all to yourself - a rare resort experience!
Another advantage of a stay in April is the wide range of accommodation on offer. You don't need to book 6 months in advance to find a nice chalet or a comfortable apartment.
