Val d’Isère
Regarded by many as the greatest ski resort in the world, Val d’Isère blends traditional Savoyarde architecture with an awe-inspiring setting. The vast expanse of L’Espace Killy, comprising Val d’Isère and neighbouring Tignes, is the highest extended ski domain in the world.
The clientèle is as varied as the terrain, from dedicated powder hounds and off-piste adrenalin junkies to blue cruisers and ladies who lunch. Most skiing is at 2300 metres and above and, not surprisingly, the resort has an unrivalled snow record. There is plenty of skiing on your doorstep to keep all but the most advanced occupied for at least a week, but the temptations of Tignes are only a few lifts away and the views from the top of the Grand Motte at over 3600 metres simply unmissable.
Après-ski begins before you’ve even come off the mountain with live music at the Folie Douce above La Daille, or ski to the door of Bananas. In town there are bars, pubs and clubs which rock long into the night for those with unlimited stamina and deep pockets, plus a range of pampering body treatments and shops for those who prefer to conserve their energy for the slopes.
