Among Europe’s most famed snowboarding mountains for luxury ski holidays, Val d’Isre features 409 km of marked ski pistes. The skiing begins in mid November and terminates in the start of May. The high altitude purpose built French village provides everything for you. The resort stretches through the vale from La Daille up to Le Fornet with the focus and the apres ski in the centre Val d’Isere. This clustering of attractive chalets incorporate chic shops nearly all of which have arisen since the town was picked for the 1992 Winter Olympics.

Broken into three parts Val d’Isre has lots of slopes for all skiers. It has a fab snow record, the resort is hugely fashionable amongst pro skiers and boarders and mileage hungry intermediates, however you don’t have to be especially experienced to love what’s there. One can easily see why umpteen Brits are pulled in to the town, with its exciting apres ski and the choice of entertainment on offer, however the proximity of Tignes allows you to venture out to quieter areas if it all becomes all too much.

Pros

A good night-life in the Alps. Everybody understands English. Comfortable entrance to Val d’Isre and Tignes known as the the Espace Killy skiing area. It has a lot of traffic and whilst there are regular buses during the day, devoted apres skiers had better aim to be within a short distance from the centre.

Cons

Expensive. Frantic and fashionable with English skiers, so not for holiday makers looking for a classic French ski resort to savour a relaxing skiing holiday. Several ski lifts can close in inclement conditions. A few challenging blue and green runs.
