Bonneval sur Arc, the nugget village resort
Classified as one of the “Most Beautiful Villages in France”, Bonneval sur Arc looks like an open-air cinema set. The resort-village of Bonneval sur Arc attracts skiers looking for wide open spaces as well as holidaymakers looking to recharge their batteries.
More than the number of kilometres of slopes, it is the quality of its domain that makes Bonneval sur Arc an exceptional ski spot. Located between 1,800 and 3,000 m in altitude, the snow falls in abundance and the season lasts from December to May. A wild domain surrounded by grandiose landscapes and virgin slopes to conquer all around; and for all, the same emotion at the arrival of the 3 000 chairlift when the panorama unfolds under the skis.
In addition, there is a range of activities for everyone, for all tastes and all levels. You can learn or improve your ski touring, cross-country skiing or ice climbing skills. Memories are guaranteed for the pleasure of sliding with the paret (old-fashioned sledge), ice skating or electric mountain bike on snow…
