Val d’Isère offers one of the most complete ski areas in Europe. Linked with Tignes, the Espace Killy combines high-altitude glaciers, wide cruising pistes, and some of the Alps’ most famous expert runs.
Intermediates love the long, rolling blues on Solaise and the scenic descents back towards the village, while stronger skiers gravitate towards the Face de Bellevarde, the steeps of La Daille, and the freeride terrain around Le Fornet. Glacier skiing on the Pissaillas extends the season and adds variety, particularly in early winter and spring.
Lift infrastructure is modern and efficient, meaning you spend less time queuing and more time skiing. Even in peak season, the sheer scale of the area helps spread skiers out across the mountain.

Val d’Isère offers some of the most dynamic and snow-sure skiing in the Alps. Linked with Tignes to form the Espace Killy, it spans more than 300 km of pistes, from glacier runs at over 3,000 m to sheltered valley descents. Expect a mix of wide cruisers, challenging steeps, and world-class off-piste terrain.
Highlights include La Face de Bellevarde, the legendary World Cup downhill course; the long, scenic Col de l’Iseran runs; and Santons, which snakes beautifully into the village. Intermediates love the Solaise sector for its sun-drenched blues, while experts head to Le Fornet and Pissaillas Glacier for freeride adventure.
Yes. The Solaise area has an excellent beginner zone with covered magic carpets and slow-speed lifts, plus gentle blue runs ideal for early progression. The ESF Val d’Isère and Oxygène Ski School both offer specialised children’s programmes, private lessons, and English-speaking instructors.
The ski season runs from late November to early May, one of the longest in France. For the best snow, visit January to March; for quieter slopes and sunshine, April is ideal. Thanks to its altitude and glacier access, Val d’Isère guarantees excellent snow even late in the season.
The village balances Alpine tradition with modern flair — think Michelin-starred dining, designer boutiques, world-class spas, and lively après-ski at La Folie Douce and Cocorico. There’s also ice driving, snowshoeing, and paragliding for those seeking adventure away from the pistes.
Val d’Isère sits in the Tarentaise Valley, around 2.5–3 hours from Geneva, Lyon, or Chambéry airports. The nearest train station is Bourg-Saint-Maurice, just 40 minutes away. The Camel Collection arranges private transfers, chauffeurs, and helicopter charters directly to resort.
Few resorts balance big-mountain adventure with family appeal quite like Val d’Isère. Here, children learn to ski in full view of the Alps’ most iconic peaks - from the gentle Solaise nursery slopes to the rolling blues that link into Tignes.
The Village des Enfants and Oxygène Ski School create an atmosphere that’s energetic yet reassuring, with brilliant English-speaking instructors, small groups, and private lessons. Families love the freedom to ski together across vast, snow-sure terrain while still having easy meeting points and quick lift links back to the village.
When the skis come off, Val d’Isère doesn’t slow down. Kids can race down the Savonnette toboggan run, explore the ice rink in the heart of town, or make a splash at the Centre Aquasportif.
Evenings are for cosy mountain dinners and torchlit descents, where the buzz of the resort meets Alpine magic. It’s a place that keeps every generation entertained, with style, snow, and spirit in equal measure. It’s easy to see why family ski holidays in Val d’Isere remain so popular.
