Beautiful national park with very impressive views. Many and trekkings are do-able for not so experienced hikers in summer, though some walks and parts of walks require more technical skills and specific equipment such as crampons. In early june, many refuges are still closed, contrary to what some information leaflets say. I’d strongly suggest calling in advance if you want to be sure a refuge is open.

Great mountains for hiking and climbing, with wildlife and wild flowers, steep rock faces and glaciers, that can be surrounded in a 5-day trip linked by a god network of huts and a few coles around 2600 m in altitude.

Mainly a ski resort but visited in summer. Amazing place if you have good walking legs. Scenery is awsome, especially from the mountain tops if reasonable fit to walk, or via multitude of cable cars.

I was here at the winter for skiing at tignes val claret, not for summer hiking, but is is a very beautiful area weach i have to come back to for tracking also... As a ski resorte it is simply perfect, not much to say more then that.

Plenty of hikes and local people are friendly and welcoming. If you like nature and enjoy great views and good air...it's the ideal place to go

One of the largest, pristine French national parks with summits well over 3000m. No drone flights allowed. Bordering Italy it was home of the 1992 Olympic games with such ski resorts as Les Arcs, Méribel, Courchevel, Tignes and Val d'Isère. It is also home of magnificent baroque churches and chapels nested in beautiful mountain villages Summer mountaineering is marvelous with a plethora of wild animals and walks for all ages.

We did the 6 day tour with a 6 and a 12 year old, August 2018. This is a top trek, many glaciers, marmots, ibex, chamoix. Most hikers are French, huts gets busy but we booked 2 weeks before. Bring rain gear..

A stunning French/Italian mountain pass with views to die for on the Italian side. The huge reservoir at the top is crystal clear and fed by several cascading mountain streams. Apart from the wonderful natural scenery there are also some marvellous buildings, old and new, including the wooden church.

Very beautiful road! Altitude 2085 m. The term "Mont Cenis" could be derived from mont des cendres ("mountain of ashes"). According to tradition, following a forest fire, a great quantity of ashes accumulated on the ground, thus the name. The path of ashes was found during the building work of the route.

Nice pass. I got through it from Italy to France. Not dificult to drive. Very good panoramic views

Most beautiful drive! Views all around. Rare to be able to drive above treeline.

Extremely beautiful place and super nice way for a motorbike trip. A bit cold!

Stunning here ,can walk whole time then find good place relax ,feel that nature ,that is comfortable!

Lovely getting the cable cars up to the start point of one of the hikes. Then the hike was glorious.

(Translated by Google) An unforgettable ski touring experience from Bonneval-sur-Arc! Our guide, Philippe Roger, knew how to combine professionalism and friendliness to help us discover grandiose landscapes. The route, with a stop at the Évettes refuge and a spectacular passage through the Grand Méan glacier, was perfectly suited to our level. Philippe took the time to share his knowledge of the mountains and gave us confidence throughout the journey. An adventure that I 100% recommend! (Original) Une expérience inoubliable en ski de randonnée au départ de Bonneval-sur-Arc ! Notre guide, Philippe Roger, a su allier professionnalisme et convivialité pour nous faire découvrir des paysages grandioses. L’itinéraire, avec une étape au refuge des Évettes et un passage spectaculaire par le glacier du Grand Méan, était parfaitement adapté à notre niveau. Philippe a pris le temps de partager ses connaissances sur la montagne et nous a mis en confiance tout au long du parcours. Une aventure que je recommande à 100 % !

(Translated by Google) We did the aquatic hike with Joël. Very good experience. Great for those who are not yet ready for canyoning. Very friendly guide who reassures and explains everything well. Superb site. We also enjoyed the descent on foot to get there. However, we would have liked to have been in the water more often during the water hike. We recommend. (Original) Nous avons fait la randonnée aquatique avec Joël. Très bonne expérience. Super pour ceux qui ne sont pas encore prêts pour le canyoning. Guide très sympathique qui rassure et explique bien tout. Site superbe. Nous avons apprécié aussi la descente à pied pour y arriver. Nous aurions aimé toutefois, pendant la rando aquatique, être plus souvent dans l'eau. On recommande.

(Translated by Google) We went rafting at the beginning of July. Big negative point: the duration!! 20/25min of descent!!! We were amazed... it's about 2 hours on the site... So we got the explanation, it was that the water was high so there were a lot of rapids and as a result... instead of 1h15 apparently, we took less than half an hour... for 40€ it hurts a bit . But hey! The staff is so friendly, super professional, the river and the course are really cool. Indeed a lot of fast, it was super sporty. But I think that the course is a bit short whatever happens... it's frustrating. (Original) Nous avons fait le rafting début juillet. Gros point négatif: la durée !! 20/25min de descente !!! On a halluciné... ça parle de 2h sur le site... Alors on a eu l'explication, c'est que la cru était élevée donc beaucoup de rapides et du coup.. au lieu de 1h15 apparemment, nous avons mis moins d'une demi heure.. pour 40€ ça fait un peu mal. Mais bon ! Le personnel est tellement sympa, super pro , la rivière et le parcours sont vraiment chouette . Effectivement énormément de rapide, c'était super sportif. Mais je pense que le parcours est quoi qu'il arrive un poil cour... c'est frustrant.

(Translated by Google) At the top. We went rafting as a group of 12 (from 10 to 46 years old). A great team, a very nice descent and already good for a first time. It remains family-friendly, the instructors are attentive and very friendly. I recommend, great experience 👍 (Original) Au top. Nous avons fait du rafting à 12 (de 10 à 46 ans).

(Translated by Google) I signed up for the via ferrata with our guide “Jeanmi”. I was very disappointed by his behavior towards the participants he accompanied on the cliff. He was very rude and made derogatory remarks. During our climb, he offered no emotional support. In addition, he left us behind by moving far too quickly for beginners. An unpleasant initial experience. (Original) Je me suis inscrit à la via ferrata avec notre guide « Jeanmi ». J'ai été très déçu par son comportement envers les participants qu'il accompagnait sur la falaise. Il s'est montré très désagréable et faisait des remarques désobligeantes. Pendant notre ascension, il n'a offert aucun soutien émotionnel. De plus, il nous laissait à la traîne en avançant bien trop vite pour des débutants. Une expérience initiale déplaisante.

(Translated by Google) After this rafting experience with a great guide, we are very happy. Superb sensations! THANKS (Original) Après cette expérience rafting avec un super guide, nous sommes très content. Superbes sensations ! Merci

(Translated by Google) The church is pretty on the outside, I was there yesterday, but they are going to do reconstruction work, so I found it closed. The church deserves to be seen from the outside, I was there yesterday, but they are doing restoration work and I found it closed. The church is fine outside, but it's work in progress so I found it closed. I was there yesterday. (Original) L’église est jolie à l'extérieur, j’ai été ahier,mais ils vont faire travaux de reconstrution, donc je l’ai trouvé fermée. La chiesa merita da fuori, ci sono stato ieri, ma stan facendo lavori di restauro e l’ho trovata chiusa. The church is fine outside,but it’s work in progress so I found it closed. I was there yesterday.

(Translated by Google) Could have been good but it was closed (Original) Ça aurait pu être bien mais c'était fermé

The staff were our heroes! We were stuck without accomodation and transport as our car was in a different valley. They got us a really nice place at a camping in a town ahead and even found a way to get us there. Thank you!

This is one of the best ski resorts I've been. My drone got trapped at the top of a tree (15m above ground) and the SKI PATROL (special thanks to Nathan) climbed the tree to recover it and were extremely nice and proffesional. I cannot express how greatfull I am with these people. These kind of people and details really make the difference and make me want to come back every year. People are extremely friendly and the place is very good for skiing (all levels).

Quality resort with a wide variety of slopes & decent restaurants

Feels big and busy but didn't have to queue for the ski lift even in February half term. Modern and efficient lift system and good variety of runs. Stunning scenery. Friendly locals. Supermarkets all very small. Might want to stock up somewhere bigger on the way.

Very pretty area but we had forgotten how cold it can be in January! Everyone we had dealings with was friendly and helpful.

Lovely family resort

Absolutely beautiful beyond words

(Translated by Google) Extremely satisfied, we were lucky to have a great instructor who taught us much more than we had learned at the Les Houches school! Many thanks again to Théo, thanks to him we had a very good foundation and he managed to give us confidence in ourselves (which was not easy) and thanks to him, we were able to make the most of our stay. 😊😊😊 (Original) Extrêmement satisfaits, nous avons eu la chance d'avoir un super moniteur qui nous a appris bien plus que nous avions appris à l'école des Houches! Encore mille mercis à Théo, grâce à lui nous avons eu de très bonnes bases et il a reussi à nous donner confiance en nous (ce qui n'était pas gagné) et grâce à lui, nous avons su profiter au maximum de notre séjour. 😊😊😊

(Translated by Google) Very friendly welcome and many activities offered. A crush on towed skiing (by a horse) with Charlène Jacquemmoz. (Original) Accueil très sympathique et de nombreuses activités proposées. Un coup de cœur pour le ski tracté (par un cheval) avec Charlène Jacquemmoz.

(Translated by Google) After 40 years of skiing without a single lesson, it was time for me to update myself: the 2 hours of lessons with Sophie were very useful and enjoyable! I even understood, tried and retained what I need to improve, that is to say... And I didn't get offended when she told me once, twice, and even three times: "you really ski like my father." It would have been a shame to get offended, anyway, because in fact, it was a compliment! (Original) Après 40 ans de ski sans une seule leçon, il était temps que je me mette à jour : les 2 heures de leçon avec Sophie ont été très utiles et agréables ! J'ai même compris, essayé et retenu ce que je dois améliorer, c'est dire... Et je ne me suis pas vexé quand elle m'a dit 1 fois, 2 fois, et même 3 fois : "vous skiez vraiment comme mon père". Ça aurait été dommage de se vexer, d'ailleurs, car en fait, c'était un compliment !

THANKS !!! (Original) Superbe semaine passée à termignon. Merci à Catherine pour mon fils lors des cours collectif Ourson et à élise pour mes cours particuliers.

A nice tiny place, quiet and not so expensive (for me € 4,80). Was well worth the visit even though you could walk through it within a minute.

(Translated by Google) Visit to the museum and pottery workshop! We had a great afternoon with a child of almost 7 years old. Our tour guide was passionate and exciting, very educational :-)!! All the children in the group and the adults followed this visit and the workshop with great interest. I highly recommend it for adults and children :-)!! (Original) Visite du musée et atelier poterie ! Nous avons passé un excellent après midi avec un enfant de presque 7 ans. Notre guide conférencier était passionné et passionnant très pédagogue :-)!! Tous les enfants du groupe et les adultes ont suivi avec grand intérêt cette visite et l atelier. Je recommande vivement pour les grands et les petits :-)!!

(Translated by Google) A little disappointed with the representation of the cave which is very small. We are not immersed in the story at all. Quite a bit of visible pottery, animal and human bones, short 5-minute film. Well received. (Original) Un peu déçu de la représentation de la grotte qui est très petite. On est pas du tout plongés dans l’histoire. Pas mal de poteries visibles, d’ossements animaux et humains petit film de 5 minutes. Bien accueillis.

(Translated by Google) We were lucky enough to participate in a pottery workshop preceded by a perfectly narrated tour by the archaeologist-guide, who is extraordinarily patient with the children. We learned some fascinating things about the archaeological discoveries in the region. I returned the next day with my youngest daughter. It was a self-guided tour, but he very kindly answered her questions and adapted his remarks. A thousand thanks to you for sharing your passion so well. (Original) Nous avons eu la chance de participer à un atelier poterie précédée par une visite parfaitement commentée par l'animateur-archéologue qui est d'une patience extraordinaire avec les enfants. Nous avons appris des choses passionnantes sur la découverte archéologique de la région. Je suis revenue le lendemain avec ma plus jeune fille. C'était une visite libre mais il a répondu très gentiment à ses questions et a su adapter son discours. Mille mercis à vous pour transmettre aussi bien votre passion

(Translated by Google) Very disappointed by this museum. No guided tour, which is a shame. The welcome is very warm, which is the only positive point. There is no explanation of daily life during this period, or the place of women and children in this cave. Very incomplete. Far too expensive for what is offered. (Original) Très déçue par ce musée. Pas de visite guidée, c’est dommage. L’accueil est très chaleureux, seul point positif. Aucune explication sur la vie quotidienne de cette epoque, sur la Place des femmes, des enfants dans cette grotte. Très incomplet. Beaucoup trop cher pour ce qui est proposé.

(Translated by Google) Superb visit to this archaeological museum, all amateurs young and old will have a pleasant time. My son loved seeing his utensils that our ancestors used. (Original) Superbe visite de ce musée archéologique, tous les amateur petit et grand passerons un agréable moment. Mon fils a adorer de voir ses ustensile qui on servi nos ancêtres.

(Translated by Google) Pleasant museum to visit. Pleasant welcome, well-maintained place. I recommend it. (Original) Musée agréable a visiter. Accueil agréable, lieu bien entretenu. Je recommande

Yes, it's a bit outmoded and could use a refurb, but the rooms are clean, beds are good and there is plenty of hot water to fill the tub after a day of skiing. Staff is very friendly. Good value for money.

Regarding the creperie, the food itself is ok and fast enough. Service is blunt and to the point, no effort made to speak slower french or use easier to understand verbs and food served did not match what was ordered. When issue raised they asked (we think) why we hadn't spoken to them - but good luck finding staff after you've ordered. Table next to us spent 5 mins walking in circles looking for staff.

Nice, clean, spacious rooms and bathroom. Safe place for bicycles and motorbikes. Very nice breakfast buffet. Even if you don't stay, please try the restaurant, its especially good and will cater to your wishes!! We stayed in July 2019. Recommend! =)

Good pancakes (crepes) and service. For once, not overly greasy pancakes compared to most other places. The sugar and butter pancakes were amazing. And the Montagnarde (with reblochon cheese, egg, potatoes and crude ham) was really nice too. The owner ensured the service and the service was good and efficient. Prices are reasonable. Recommended for a family in particular.

Very charming hotel, with sauna and interior pool, very welcoming staff and good breakfast buffet.

2 people finished eating before the other 2 were served

Two lunch two different experiences, the first one was great "Plat du jour " and a friendly efficient service , the second one a very average food served by an extremely unpleasant waiter .

Lovely stop off the slopes - not the easiest to get to but well worth it! Be prepared for the non stop narration by Simone who is full of interesting historical facts about the area and loves engaging with all the customers... Assiette de skieur and tartiflette both amazing

Great place to stop at the highest place on the pass.

When you made it to the col de mont Cenis on 2038m on your bicycle you deserve a treat at this place. Around the restaurant are many markers of the history of the place.

Simone and Michel worth the stop to chitchat and discover the local hostory...

A wonderful place for a hot meal after hiking to the Lac de Val Cenis. The staff were very welcoming and entertained us with great stories about the history of the place. Definitely worth a stop, there are not many authentic places left like this...

Wonderful experience! The owner is an amazing woman serving tradition French food

Beautiful on a sunny day.

Great food!! We had the salmon and the tartiflette as main dishes and they were amazing. Although it was hard cause we were full, couldn't not ask for the Tiramisu, so so so good. The waitress was super nice and helpful, it was a great experience worth the price. Thank you!

A great 'coin des montagnes' Lovely locally sourced food with a range of options for vegetarians, good range of beers and wines all served in a friendly atmosphere.

Super friendly owner and great food!

Very nice

I was pleasantly surprised. There was lots of food on my plate and it was really good.

Very good traditional food, friendly people, attentive. Many alternatives

(Translated by Google) A top-notch location with a view at the foot of the mountain. Excellent local produce. We highly recommend this restaurant. Exceptional attentive service! Highly recommended. (Original) Endroit au top avec une vue aux pieds de la montagne . Produits du terroir excellents. Nous recommandons vivement ce restaurant. Service à l’écoute exceptionnel ! Je recommande ++++

Just one word: "amazing". The staff was really friendly and approachable, The pizzas were delicious. The food is priced very reasonably and was prepared with fresh ingredients Would definitely visit again.

Very friendly owners. Kids were satisfied with pizza, both with size and a taste. Which is saying all!

Delicious pizza and the owner, a young lady, is a very sympathetic person together with her staff. I definitely recommend this place. Worth the visit and the order.

Absolutely delicious fresh pizzas. And super friendly too, just like the rest of Val Cenis. Highly recommended 😊

A small family run pizzeria that servers great pizzas. In a town where it's hard to find a table in a restaurant if you haven't reserved in advance, this pizzeria was our savior. They deliver too.

Nice pizza. Friendly staff. Helped us find a cab to Lanslevillard

Very fresh and tasty food, amazing.
