Winter Playground In France
The Resort
Val D?Is?re is a long thin resort which combined with Tignes forms part of the vast Espace Killy, ranked amongst the top 5 luxury ski holidays in Europe.
The central area is made up of Val Village, where everyone gathers at night for very lively apr?s-ski, and the satellite mini-resorts of La Daille and Le Fornet are all linked by a free bus service. La Daille, the first village you will encounter upon leaving the last tunnel is close to some great slopes whilst Le Fornet sits at the far end of the Isere valley.
Considered by many to be a premier ski resort Val D?Is?re offers outstanding skiing from late November to early May and is the perfect choice for intermediates and advanced skiers. Its ideal ski conditions, guaranteed snow and lively atmosphere off the slopes make it a perfect draw for all. Renowned for its apr?s ski activities concentrated around Rue Principale, Val D?Is?re entertainment ranges from lively bars to exquisite tea rooms. With neighbouring Tignes, this region is one of Europe?s key winter playgrounds.
Val D?Is?re is also a great family resort with plenty of local nurseries and ski schools catering for children of all ages. Other activities include dog sledding, snowmobiling and paragliding.
On the Snow
The combined area is collectively known as Espace Killy. There are 90 ski lifts, 300km runs and a modern hands free lift pass system. Eight entry points provide access to the mountain including the high-speed gondola from the village centre and the underground funicular from La Daille. From here a network of pistes and lifts lead towards Tignes on one side and on the other Rocher du Charvet. The OK downhill course, also from the top of Bellevarde is a moderately demanding but enjoyable route down to La Daille.
Due to the quality of the snow allowing for outstanding powder skiing Val D?Is?re is the home of off piste skiing and free ride. Those prepared for some serious off piste skiing will find themselves spoilt for choice by the variety of pistes. Hire the experience of a local guide and try the Face du Charvet, a steep powder classic accessed from the Grand Pr? chair.
The lift system at Val D?Is?re is both fast and efficient, a good choice for boarders ? plus there are very few drag-lifts. There?s is also a terrain park just above La Daille gondola, offering excellent facilities for both park beginners and experts. A Val D?Is?re luxury ski holiday in France is a popular destination for all tastes.
