Val d'Isère
Val d’Isere is a world class ski resort. It’s as simple as that. Val d’Isere is part of only a small number of resorts worldwide to have hosted three major skiing tournaments, in this case: the Olympics, the World Cup and the World Championships. If it’s good enough for all three of those competitions, chances are, the skiing is pretty good.
Beginners may well find the prospect of skiing on world class pistes a little intimidating, but those on their first (or nearly first) group ski holidays need not worry as beginners are treated to free ski lifts on nursery slopes and the opportunity to learn at a particularly large ski school. The proprietors of Val d’Isere do want your business and want you to be able to explore the full 150km of pisted skiing available, and maybe even cross over to a further 150km at neighbouring and linked Tignes.
Needless to say, with such a large skiing area available, Val d’Isere is perfect for both family ski holidays and mixed ability group ski holidays, and with world class skiing comes world class facilities. The apres scene in Val d’Isere is said to be one of the best found on ski holidays in France. Some establishments are open as late as 4am, so revellers are bound to have a good time whilst partying in Val d’Isere.
However, for those on a group skiing holiday or a family ski holiday to Val d’Isere, there are just as many opportunities for a varied fun-packed ski holiday with activities such as husky rides, ice diving and skidooing offering the prospect for a great family ski holiday for when the kids get a little tired of skiing.
With world class pisted skiing as well as excellent off-piste terrain, Val d’Isere is one of the big hitters when it comes to French ski holiday resorts.
