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.
