Ski Val D’Isère

Val d’Isère has it all: deep reliable snow, the most up-to-date lift system, the most extensive pistes, off piste activities galore, all sited around a resort that retains a traditional French mountain village atmosphere. The resort has a World-famous World Cup run (black), which is a challenge to get down even at moderate speeds. Besides this, the resort and has about 300km of prepared pistes, at all levels, and 99 lifts. You could ski there for a week and be left wanting more.

A lift pass gives access to the pistes of the neighbouring resort of Tignes. Snow reliability is excellent, because the resort is in a dramatic location at the head of a valley at 1850m; the ski season lasts from December right into May. The mountain restaurants have a great reputation, so there is no need to descend to the valley to break for lunch. To cater for those with a taste for other snow-related activities, there are two snow parks, a mogul field, and six slalom courses.There are two glaciers for off-piste enthusiasts, and a gliss park for beginning skiers and snowboarders. Val D’Isère offers a really happening après-ski scene, with plenty of restaurants and bars to let your hair down at the end of the day.
