Expert Advice
"A mecca for the British establishment of skiers and boarders."


The world-famous resort of Val d’Isère is set high in the mountains of the Savoie Alps boasting an excellent snow record, massive ski area, extensive shopping and an abundance of bars and restaurants. A contrasting mix of old and new accommodation spreads along the valley from La Daille at the entrance of Val d’Isère to the main centre 2km away (the resort is well serviced by a regular bus service running late into the night).

Both areas have easy access to the efficient and extensive lift system connecting neighbouring Tignes. The renowned “Espace Killy” ski domain offers some of the best skiing in Europe. Val d’Isère is ideal if you want to ski hard, party hard and live to excess. It is a definite must to visit in your skiing or boarding travels.
