Val d'Isère Reviews & Ratings

Best ski resort! Great trails and après. Lots of variety. La folie douce and the town are the best.

The greatest ski resort in Europe!
You will try other resorts but always refer back to Val D’Isere as being the best.
Great skiing, amazing restaurants and a beautiful village is what you need to make your week in the mountains perfect.

Had a great time in Val, bigger town with plenty of food options and bars. Folie is a bit of a difficult ski back but gondola options available to help. Coco ricos I think is the best apres bar there is, highly recommend! So much so we went back to Tignes in March

Great resort massive ski area well looked after, been loads in the past, apres great although pretty expensive as you would expect from a high end resort

Val D’isere is the resort we keep going back to - great skiing, great finding, great apres - both party, relaxing and families! The best place to ski!

Amazing resort, lifts very efficient
Ski instructor was great
Apres ski brilliant fun
Chalet was 5 star and all the bars were well staffed

The best resort for incredible skiing, challenging slopes, huge range of skiing and incredible apres. Nothing beats a cocorico afternoon/evening. I have been to so many ski resorts in different countries and there is nothing quite like it. Skiing over in tignes is brilliant too. Food is amazing. Brilliant resort, but not cheap.

I did a season here and have proceeded to go and visit since. It is a lively resort with something for everyone. If you are a non-skier then there are plenty of spa options as well as pedestrian lifts so you can join your group on the slopes for a bite to eat.

The slopes are more on the advanced side and new beginners may struggle. The green slopes tend to be really busy which can make it hard to learn.

The ski area is massive and is perfect for a week. The views are incredible at the glaciers and both resorts are situated high up making it perfect and snow sure.

I had an amazing experience at Val D’isere for someone who came as a beginner and left massively improved with my technique. Val d’isere offers a welcoming environment for individuals, groups and families.

Fkn lit time there had lists of fun just waffling now to hopefully get over 100 characters had a really great time

Great resort, buses running to 2am meant getting to further away accommodation from nightlife possible.
Variety of slopes great.

Had the best time! Very good family friendly and nightlife balance. Quieter runs than expected. Lots of nice blues and plenty of harder runs to try too.

A fantastic ski resort that offers something for everybody. The ski lift is well located and easily accessed with a stunning black run heading straight into the ski village for on watches to see. The bars and restaurants are second to none and I couldn’t recommend this resort more to anyone.

Val D just has everything. It’s a little more pricey than other places, but not without reason. It has plenty of great skiing at all levels, some great powder when it’s snowed and some fantastic bars restaurants and apres. We love it there and go every few years. It would probably be up there if you could only pick one resort forever!

Great resort, snow sure, good variety of runs and can always find a quiet piste if you know where to look at certain times of day

If you're up for a party, you won't be disappointed. Val d'Isère is a top-tier ski resort. You get what you pay for: incredible skiing, stunning scenery, and a lively atmosphere. I'm already planning my next trip back!

Only there for a long weekend with some friends but now booked to go back to the resort with my family to explore the resort better! Fantastic skiing although very early in the season some runs had not opened yet but still so much area to try and cover I didn’t even see half of it! Great bars on the piste and the food was insane!! Absolutely loved it and that’s why we are going back next month to tignes to explore the rest with my wife and children, we are all looking forward to it so much! Going to get to the Folie Douce this time too for a great end to the holiday! Possibly the green runs ought to be blues just incase you are a beginner as my friends were and when I took them to the greens they struggled on the steep areas. As an advanced skiing family we are buzzing for it ⛷️

Amazing ski resort, great apres!!!
Variety of slopes to suite all ski levels and extensive piste area.

Was a great resort. Went with my dad and brother. Apres ski was great and the slopes were perfect. World class resort

We had a brilliant family trip to Val d’Isère. I’m a snowboarder and my wife and kids ski, so we wanted somewhere with great variety—and it delivered.

A big highlight for us was ski school. It made a huge difference for the kids’ confidence and meant we could all enjoy the mountain without stress. Overall, I’d say Val d’Isère suits confident skiers/boarders best: some runs felt a bit advanced if you’re trying to ski all the way down. That said, if you take the big lift/train up to the top, you can find plenty of easier, more manageable runs to get you back into the rhythm (and still have an amazing day out).

Après-ski is genuinely top-tier—lively, fun, and a real part of the experience. We even went to a nightclub near the centre one night, which was a great laugh and rounded off the trip perfectly.

If you’re a family with mixed abilities, I’d recommend it—especially if you’re happy using lifts to access the gentler areas, and if you want a resort with a proper atmosphere after skiing.
