Val d'Isère Resort: Reach new heights

Located in the heart of the French Alps, Val d'Isère is a world-renowned ski resort that attracts mountain lovers and winter sports enthusiasts. Nestled in Savoie, it immerses you in a typically Savoyard world with a uniquely warm atmosphere.

Authentic mountain village

From La Daille to Le Fornet, Val d'Isère has managed to preserve its authenticity over the years while developing a more open-minded approach and high standards. The traditional wooden chalets with their steeply pitched roofs, adorned with flower-filled balconies and wooden shutters, create a truly picturesque alpine atmosphere. The village offers a genuine immersion in Savoyard heritage, with its traditional restaurants serving delicious alpine cuisine.

The Tignes-Val d'Isère ski area

Linking two internationally renowned resorts, the Tignes-Val d'Isère ski area welcomes all winter sports enthusiasts from December to May. Formerly known as Espace Killy, the Tignes-Val d'Isère ski area is one of the most iconic winter sports destinations in the Alps, boasting over 300 kilometers of slopes.

Furthermore, modern and efficient ski lifts allow skiers to quickly reach the summits, thus reducing waiting times. In addition, the ski area is well-maintained and safe, with a network of professional rescuers and mountain patrollers.

From 1500 to 3540 meters in altitude, the resort promises hours of skiing! From gentle blue runs to challenging slopes, every skier will find something to enjoy. For the most athletic, take on the Face de Bellevarde, the iconic slope that hosted the 1992 Albertville Winter Olympics.
