Val D'isere

Resort Overview

Val d’Isère links seamlessly with Tignes to create the world-class Tignes-Val d’Isère Ski Area, delivering endless variety for skiers and snowboarders of all levels. The resort is made up of La Daille, Val d’Isère Centre, and the quieter Le Fornet—each connected by a convenient free shuttle service. Off the slopes, Val d’Isère is just as lively, known for its vibrant après-ski scene, from buzzing clubs to charming creperies and classic Alpine restaurants. Being on a valley floor getting around the centre of town is easy, Val d’sere gets prettier and prettier, slowly the 70’s monster buildings are going or been totally recladded .

For those that wish to do more activities after skiing, then head to the Aquasportif area With its 2 pools, one just for laps, spa area, gym and sports area for Badminton and Basket ball+ there are squash courts .

Skiing  The skiing in Val d’sere is actually very good for intermediate skiers, The slopes of Fornet and the Solaise area are not challenging at all, the most challenging bit to be honest is skiing back into Val, sometimes maybe best to get the lift down. In the other direction the slopes of the Bellevarde are also good for intermediates, where it get a bit more difficult is the Face run back down into Val which can be a real challenge. The runs from the Bellevarde down into Le Daille are mainly Red, but well maintained and very pleasant.

I would say the more challenging skiing in this area is found in Tignes and around the Grand Motte area, although its very open with few trees so can be a bit of a challenge on bad weather days as there’s no tree to get you bearings.

The off Piste skiing in both Val and Tignes is exceptional, only problem is people go there purely for this so can get skied out very quickly .
