Looking to carve some beautiful curves in the heart of Haute Maurienne? Renting a snowboard in Val Cenis is the ideal way to take advantage of a varied playground, from sheltered forests to wide, high-altitude slopes. The predominantly northerly orientation keeps the snow pleasant for longer, perfect for a series of descents facing the Dent Parrachée and, on a clear day, admiring the Mont Cenis lake. Beginners and experienced riders alike can enjoy the long runs and fun zones.

As for the weather, the day after a fall is magical, especially in the morning when the snow is cold and compact. In January, bring warm layers: the air is dry and temperatures can sting. In spring, leave early to take advantage of the mild transformation before noon. Winds can pick up near the pass, so opt for more sheltered forest areas. Always check the snow report and the risks off the slopes.
