About the Resort
About Val d'Isère
Val d'Isère is one of the world's most iconic and prestigious ski resorts. Located at the end of the Tarentaise Valley in the French Alps, it connects with neighboring Tignes to form a massive 300km ski domain (formerly known as Espace Killy). The village itself is steeped in history, centered around a 17th-century church, but it has evolved into a cosmopolitan hub that seamlessly blends traditional stone-and-wood Savoyard architecture with five-star luxury, chic boutiques, and gourmet dining.
The Resort
The resort is a magnet for serious skiers and snowboarders, offering high-altitude, snow-sure slopes from late November well into May. It boasts an incredible variety of terrain, from the sunny, high-altitude beginner slopes of the Solaise to the fearsome, iconic Face de Bellevarde Olympic black run. Beyond the manicured pistes, Val d'Isère is globally renowned for its vast lift-accessible off-piste and backcountry terrain.
Off the mountain, Val d'Isère's après-ski scene is legendary. From the table-dancing champagne sprays at La Folie Douce to the vibrant late-night venues in the village, the resort offers an unmatched atmosphere. Despite its reputation as an expert's playground and a party town, recent investments in beginner zones and family facilities have made Val d'Isère more accessible than ever to all levels of winter sports enthusiasts.
On the Mountain
High-altitude and incredibly snow-sure, the skiing ranges from gentle glacier cruising to some of the most challenging lift-served off-piste in the world. The Solaise area features a superb high-altitude beginner zone, while experts can test their mettle on steep Olympic pistes and seemingly endless freeride itineraries.
Tignes - Val d'Isère / Tarentaise Valley
Located in the spectacular Tarentaise Valley, this expansive domain seamlessly connects Val d'Isère and Tignes, offering 300km of world-class pistes and massive backcountry terrain.
