Skiing and Snowboarding in Val d'Isere
Val d’Isère is one of the most iconic ski resorts in the French Alps, offering an unbeatable combination of high-altitude skiing, vibrant après, and classic alpine charm. Part of the Tignes–Val d’Isère ski area, it gives skiers and snowboarders access to over 300km of groomed pistes, with terrain to suit everyone. From gentle nursery slopes to steep black runs and legendary off-piste, the skiing here is as varied as it is reliable. With altitudes reaching up to 3,456m, snow cover is some of the best in Europe, making it a favourite for early-season and spring skiing.
More Than Just Skiing
There's plenty to explore beyond the mountain. Off the piste, there’s a full line-up of winter activities to keep the adventure going. Swap skis for skates on the open-air ice rink, take on the thrill of ice driving, or experience the Olympic bobsleigh run for a real adrenaline hit. If you prefer a slower pace, snowshoe trails wind through peaceful forests, perfect for soaking up the alpine beauty. And for pure relaxation, head to a local spa and unwind with a sauna, massage, or dip in the hot tub.
