Ski touring from November to June!
At Bonneval sur Arc, snow is here from autumn to early summer. Even in June, when theIseran road opens to traffic, it's not uncommon to see ski tourers heading off in the direction of Ouille Noire or Col des Fours. Ski touring is in the DNA of the local people, and the village has been awarded the "Terre d'alpinisme" label by the UNESCO Committee for its ski touring culture. Bonneval sur Arc is also home to Thibault Anselmet, leader of the French ski mountaineering team. There are countless ski touring possibilities, and the resort's professional guides and instructors are on hand to help you discover them in complete safety. With them, for example, you can go as far as Les Evettes and then the Grand Méan glacier, and even ski on its frozen lake in the middle of winter!
