Overview
Hotel Saint Charles is a traditional ski-to-door hotel in the middle village of Lanslebourg in Val Cenis, with direct access to the gentle Escargot green run and the wider ski area of the French Alps.
Its slopeside position means guests can ski straight to the terrace and quickly switch between skiing and après-ski. The cosy l’Étèila bar, styled like a chalet with an open fire, is a relaxed spot for drinks after a day on the mountain.
The hotel restaurant focuses on Savoyard cuisine, serving regional favourites such as fondue and tartiflette in a warm, informal setting ideal for families and groups.
Wellness facilities include the Pure Altitude Spa with an indoor pool overlooking the mountains, plus a hot tub, sauna, steam room, and treatment rooms. Additional amenities include a games room and nearby ESF ski school childcare, making it well suited to families.

About Val Cenis
Tucked away in the peaceful Maurienne Valley, close to the Italian border, Val Cenis combines authentic Alpine charm with excellent snow conditions. Its end-of-valley location often benefits from localised weather systems that bring extra snowfall, helping to maintain reliable conditions throughout the season. With three traditional villages, purpose-built accommodation close to the slopes and a generous ski area, it's an excellent choice for those seeking convenience without sacrificing character.
The resort offers 125km of north-facing pistes, with wide, high-altitude runs starting at 2,000m that are perfect for relaxed cruising. Along the way, you'll enjoy spectacular views across the Vanoise National Park and towards the Italian Alps. Val Cenis is also home to the Escargot – Europe's longest green run – which begins at Lac du Mont Cenis before winding its way down to Lanslebourg, making it a memorable descent for beginners and confident cruisers alike.
Each of the resort's villages has retained its traditional Alpine character, with chalet-style buildings clustered around historic churches and a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere. Off the slopes, more than 40 bars and restaurants serve regional favourites such as fondue and raclette, making for cosy evenings after a day on the mountain. Most accommodation sits at the foot of the slopes too, so you're never far from your next day of skiing.
