Classified as "The most beautiful villages in France", the village and winter sports resort of Bonneval-sur-Arc welcomes its visitors in magnificent stone chalets, covered with lauzes, which perpetuate the tradition.

Between 1,800 and 3,000 meters above sea level, the village is a haven of peace and serenity at the foot of the Col de l'Iseran as well as on the borders of the Vanoise and Grand Paradis national parks in the Northern Alps.

The commercial offer is wide. The village becomes an essential stopover for itinerants who follow in the footsteps of the GR 5.

This beautiful village feels untouched in comparison to the metropolis of Val D'Isere on the other side of the Col de l'Iseran. Situated at the head of the Maurienne valley it sits at approx 1800 meters above sea level and has a small ski area in the winter with a large amount of touring potential. There are some lovely restaurants in the cobbled street and all the buildings retain their stone slate roofs giving a real rustic feel.
