Many would argue Val d'Isere is the best ski resort in the world. And who are we to say otherwise - we love it too! From long mountain lunch hot spots to picturesque walks and epic pistes.
Val d'Isère is luxurious and offers plenty of opportunity to indulge in the finer things in life. If Michelin starred restaurants or extravagant chalets are your cup of tea, look no further. Val D is home to the spectacular Folie Douce which is accessed by a heated gondola in La Daille. On skis, there are two glaciers to explore, various tree runs to master and many mountain top restaurants to enjoy until the sun goes down. Off the mountain, there are ample spas, shopping and bars to keep you busy. To top off your holiday, try a heliskiing trip which will take you over to neighbouring Italy.
Val d’Isere is one of the most popular ski resorts in the world and it’s for good reason. Many would claim it is the greatest ski area in the world and you’d be hard pressed to find a local who says otherwise. Linked with Tignes you have a whopping 300km ski area to explore with everything from glaciers to sensational off-piste, open bowls, moguls, steeps, couloirs and world class snow parks. The whole area is incredibly high and the north facing slopes help hold the snow. And due to its geographical location, Val d’Isere gets heavy snowfall from multiple weather fronts giving the area one of the best snow records in Europe.
The apres ski scene definitely rivals the quality of Val d’Iseres ski slopes. The town is brimming with bars and restaurants and you have no shortage of amazing options when it comes to après ski. All the usual sunset drinks, sophisticated cocktail bars in town or spa options are available. Plus you have some table stomping madness up on the slopes as well. The original Folie Douce brings the Ibiza-style festivities to the slopes. Cocoricos is jammed with live music and Le Petit Danois brings a little Danish flavour to the mix. Take your pick.
- Luxurious accommodation in a resort that looks how you'd imagine a ski resort - Top chefs, Michelin Star aplenty, but there are heaps of other amazing options as well - The ski area is very hard to beat, with an amazing snow record to boot - Enough apres options that you can find your vibe, whatever you fancy from top-notch spas to dancing on the tables
- It's not a cheap resort, think London prices - You can catch the train to Bourg-Saint-Maurice and it's a 40 minute taxi from there (plenty of cabs waiting normally as well as a scheduled shuttle if you time it right) - A lot of the hotels have spas you can pay to access even if you are not staying there
