Overview
For a true ski-to-door experience in Val Cenis, Hotel Saint Charles is a classic choice that combines traditional alpine charm with an excellent range of modern comforts. Located in the central village of Lanslebourg, the hotel enjoys a prime slopeside position, with the Escargot green run leading directly to its terrace. The convenience of the location means you can move effortlessly from skiing to après-ski, and the cosy L’Éteïla bar – complete with chalet-style décor and an open fire – offers an inviting spot to unwind with a mulled wine and share stories from the day.
Dining at the Saint Charles centres on hearty Savoyard specialities, perfect after a day on the mountain. The restaurant’s menu blends traditional alpine flavours with contemporary touches, showcasing regional favourites such as tartiflette and fondue. With its warm, relaxed setting, it’s an ideal venue for unhurried meals with family and friends.
The hotel’s Pure Altitude Spa adds an elevated touch to your stay. The indoor pool features panoramic mountain views, while the hot tub, sauna and steam room provide welcome respite for tired legs. A selection of treatments is also available for those seeking deeper relaxation. Families are well catered for too: the French Ski School (ESF) offers childcare services next door, and the hotel itself includes a games room with pool and table football for easy, low-key entertainment.

About Val Cenis
Tucked away in the lesser-known Maurienne valley, just a snowball’s throw from the Italian border, Val Cenis brings together a trio of traditional villages. It also boasts an excellent snow record thanks to its end-of-valley setting, where localised weather fronts often deliver extra snowfall. Add purpose-built, slope-side accommodation and you’ve got the best of all worlds – French charm, convenience and a sizeable ski area.
Once you click into your skis, there’s plenty to explore across 125km of north-facing pistes. High-altitude runs start up at 2,000m, with wide, confidence-boosting slopes perfect for cruising in style. As you go, you’ll catch sweeping views towards Italy to the south and over the Vanoise National Park to the north. And don’t miss the resort’s famous Escargot run – the longest green piste in Europe – which begins at Lac du Mont Cenis and winds all the way down to Lanslebourg.
Back in the villages, you’ll find a classic alpine look: chalet-style buildings clustered around the church, all wrapped in a warm, family-friendly feel. Across the resort there are over 40 bars and restaurants, ideal for laid-back evenings tucking into Savoyard favourites like fondue and raclette while toasting the day’s ski successes. And with most hotels and apartments set right at the foot of the slopes, you’ll be stepping out and skiing off again each morning in no time.
