One of the World’s premier ski destinations, Val d’Isère has evolved from its humble village beginnings into a vibrant ski resort with world class ski runs, electrifying nightlife and a host of attractions throughout the town. With so much to offer, it is no wonder Val d’Isère is one of the most popular ski resorts in not only France but the entire Alps region.
It's kept the charm and the feel of its rural village roots while growing into a modern resort with a lovely atmosphere. Flaunt some fashion if you must, indulge in the crazy nightlife if you care to, but more importantly come for the skiing as there's superb terrain and enough variety to suit everyone.
Val d’Isère joins its neighbouring town Tignes to encompass the Val d’Isère & Tignes ski area. Val d’Isère is renowned for its high quality ski runs and superb off-piste conditions. With more than 300km of piste, you will find runs to suit all levels of skier.
The nursery slopes are in the middle of the resort and beginners can discover easy runs in breath-taking scenery above the tree line. Stronger skiers have the vast Val d'Isère & Tignes ski area to explore, from the challenge of the Solaise bumps to the wide open pistes of the glacier at Fornet. Off-piste enthusiasts are spoiled for choice and it's the perfect place to combine off-piste guiding and instruction.
This resort offers plenty to do off the slopes. Try the Centre Aquasportif which you can access using the family lift pass or the spa and wellness centre, with Jacuzzis, saunas pools and a hammam. Be sure to explore the weekly local market and the many shops in resort.
Val d'Isère is famous for its lively bars and variety of restaurants. There is a huge range of options for those seeking a relaxed drink in the afternoon to those wanting to party to the early hours, The Moris Pub is a great spot for many visitors with live bands performing throughout the season.

Walk right out the front door and within minutes you’re in the hustle and bustle of the vibrant village centre with its shops and coffee bars and lively nightlife. When you set out for the slopes in the morning, the hotel is just a stone’s throw away from the main ski lifts and ski schools. Inside, you’ll find a cosy bar and lounge, with comfy leather sofas and armchairs, perfect for unwinding in the evening or in the afternoon with a book if you fancy a break from skiing or boarding.
And what about when you just want to take it easy? The hotel’s heated outdoor pool is the ultimate way to fully unwind, or enjoy an Elemis treatment at our in-house Viva Salon. You can also relax in the large lounge area playing a few board games while checking in on things back home with free Wi-Fi.
