Why is Val d'Isère so popular?
Val d'Isère, nestled in the heart of the French Alps, stands out as a premier destination for skiing enthusiasts around the world.

What sets Val d'Isère apart is not just its expansive and well-maintained slopes, but also its excellent snow conditions. The combination of natural snowfall and extensive snow cannon coverage ensures excellent skiing conditions throughout the season. The resort's charm is amplified by its picturesque village centre, complete with luxury chalets, vibrant après-ski life and high-quality amenities. There is a wide range of renowned ski schools and gourmet dining options include the Michelin-starred L'Atelier d'Edmond. This combination of exceptional skiing, scenic beauty and top-tier facilities makes Val d'Isère a favourite choice for both seasoned and novice skiers.
Discover the winter wonderland of Val d'Isère
Val d'Isère is not just a ski resort; it's a gateway to a winter paradise where every corner offers a new adventure and picturesque postcard views. The resort spans several distinct villages, including the cosmopolitan Val Claret and the traditionally charming village of Le Fornet, each offering its own unique flair and ambiance.
The slopes of Espace Killy
The great appeal of Val d'Isère lies in the vast range of skiing opportunities it presents. The resort is connected to Tignes, forming the Espace Killy ski area, named after the Olympic skiing champion Jean-Claude Killy. Here, skiers of all levels will find something to their liking. The nursery slopes are perfect for beginners, while advanced skiers can give the legendary Face de Bellevarde a try: this steep and exhilarating black piste has hosted many Olympic and World Cup events.
Skiing and more
Val d'Isère is actually about much more than just skiing. In the bustling village centre, old-world charm meets modern luxury. Lined with high-end shops, bars and restaurants, it’s a great place to enjoy a hot chocolate or a gourmet meal after a day on the slopes. The town’s 18th-century baroque church stands as a testament to its rich history, offering a peaceful retreat for those seeking a moment of tranquility.
Year-round destination
Although Val d'Isère is mostly associated with winter sports, it also boasts a range of summer activities, making it a true year-round destination. When the snow has melted, the lush green pastures are ideal for hiking and mountain biking. Another option is summer skiing on the Pisaillas glacier. The proximity to Vanoise National Park offers additional outdoor adventures, from wildlife spotting to hiking and rock climbing.
Hub for events
Val d'Isère frequently hosts high-profile events that draw crowds from around the world. These include professional skiing competitions, music festivals and culinary events that showcase local and international talent.
