New lift and ski passes in the Haute Maurienne Vanoise

Val Cenis is the largest ski resort in the Haute Maurienne Vanoise
The Haute Maurienne Vanoise has changed its ski passes for this winter, re-naming its Eski-Mo Ski Pass and adding a new one, both offering access to the valley’s fabulous family-friendly ski resorts for great prices.
The former Eski-Mo Ski Pass has been renamed Espace Haute Maurienne Vanoise — not quite such a snappy name but still great value, offering access to 350km of skiing over six days from just €147. The pass covers skiing all week in whichever resort you are staying (from the six main resorts in the area, including Val Cenis, Valfréjus, Bonneval-sur-Arc, La Norma, Aussois and Bessans, where there is an additional 200km of cross-country skiing), along with a days’ skiing in each of the other resorts included on the pass.
If you want to stay towards the bottom of the valley (from top to bottom, Bonneval to La Norma/Aussois, the Haute Maurienne Vanoise is about a 45-minues drive) new for this winter you can ski for six days between La Norma and Valfréjus for €166. While also being family friendly, these two resorts offer incredible off-piste skiing for experts, with Valfréjus fast acquiring a reputation for speed-riding, too.

There are a few changes to the skiing in the valley this winter. In Bonneval sur Arc, at the top of the valley, a new blue piste (called Bartavelle) has been created from the highest lift-accessed point, meaning all skiers are able to enjoy the views from the 3,000m altitude.
In Val Cenis, a new gondola replaces the old Vieux Moulin, which leaves from the centre of the resort. The new ten-man lift offers the latest — and quietest technology — with a new drag lift running from Plan des Champs, offering faster access to the gondola, particularly for beginners.
