The Nordic chalet in Val Cenis Sardières opens 7 days a week in the ski season to provide all the information you need for your cross-country skiing trips.
There’s also an indoor picnic area, which is very handy when the weather is bad. This spot is a popular meeting place for cross-country skiing and biathlon lessons.
Once on their skis, children and beginners can discover those first sensations of classic cross-country skiing, or go straight for the skating technique, on the plateau around the Nordic Chalet.
This area is recommended as a good warm-up spot for more experienced cross-country skiers before they head for the more hilly trails across the ski area.
Fancy trying biathlon? Ask at the Nordic Chalet or make an appointment directly with our biathlon instructors for an introductory laser biathlon session.
