Bonneval-sur-Arc
About the area
Bonneval-sur-Arc is a small area: 20 km of pistes, of which 64% (13 km) are green or blue, so the bulk of the terrain sits in the easy-to-intermediate range. There are four short easy runs next to a lift base, which helps first-timers, but only 3 km is graded green, so beginners will move onto blues quickly. Experts get little: 2 km of black or freeride terrain (11%), and the longest continuous vertical on a single run is 203 m. The area is not a strong pick for families.
Nine lifts serve the slopes: three chairlifts, five drag lifts and one platter, so expect plenty of surface tows. Pistes run between 1,795 m and 2,948 m, a high setting for late-season snow, and the longest run measures 1,666 m. Bonneval-sur-Arc is part of Espace Haute Maurienne Vanoise, useful if you want more variety nearby.
