Perched at 1,800 m at the end of the Haute-Maurienne, it nestles at the foot of the Col de l'Iseran (2,764 m), the highest road pass in the Alps. Its hamlet of l'Écot, frozen in time at 2,000 m, served as the setting for the films “Belle et Sébastien”.

Based on the resort's altitude and historical snow reliability

✍️ Our view of Bonneval-sur-Arc

A resort on a human scale, Bonneval-sur-Arc focuses on the quality of its welcome and its closeness rather than on impressive figures. Its 32 km of runs are ideal for a 3- to 4-day stay, especially for families or skiers who don't need to constantly change their playground. Technical terrain reigns supreme at Bonneval-sur-Arc: with 3 black runs and 7 red runs on offer, confident skiers will find plenty to challenge them. Off-piste and freeride are practised in often excellent conditions thanks to the altitude and the orientation of the slopes. As for snow reliability, Bonneval-sur-Arc is in a strong position with its summit at 3,000 m — even in capricious winters, the upper runs hold up well until April. The village at 1,800 m is also well placed to offer comfortable conditions from mid-December onwards. At €38 for a day lift pass, Bonneval-sur-Arc sits in the mid-range bracket on price — neither cheap nor exorbitant. The quality of the ski area and its facilities justifies this rate for most skiers. In short: Bonneval-sur-Arc doesn't compete with the ski giants and doesn't pretend to. It's an honest, often underrated destination that deserves to be (re)discovered.
