The Skiers' Guide to Val d'Isère

The town was amazing and easy to get too, the slopes were spot on every day and the party never stopped at the slopes bars

Amazing week, amazing resort, amazing services! Would recommend and go again for sure. Had a wide piste with lots of varying difficulty

Second time skiing and staying in Val D’Isère, despite the lack of snow through out December the runs was well groomed and majority of the resort (Val/tignes) was open with runs getting slightly icy towards the back end of the day

I'd deffinatley return however its expensive so I'd probably do Andorra or Bulgaria for a couple of years in between. The skiing is second to none. I skied every day all day for a week and there were still runs in the area I hadn't been down. AMAZING.

Fantastic resort return 3 times every season.
Great apres and fantastic restaurants. It can be expensive but worth every penny!

Super wide area to ski on, best part is over the left side towards glacier lift and over lessieres where it’s very quiet and lots of powder

My favourite resort of all time. Great for boarders, some easy runs with amazing views to some former Olympic runs. Tree lines and the best apres around! Love this place

This resort has something for everyone. Great for families and groups of friends. You can access Tignes also with a ski pass so more terrain. High altitude. Great choice of restaurants and accommodation. Après is one of the best I’ve experienced. 10/10

An overall brilliant stay at this resort, thoroughly enjoyed my time and it was a great fit for the skiing level of me and my group. Our accommodation was nice and great value for ski in ski out. There’s so much to do and all activities are easily accessible by bus.

The Restaurants can be expensive but the local supermarket has a really wide range of stock for cooking at home too.

The lifts are amazingly efficient and easy to use, and pistes are in top condition.

Excellent resort

Variety
Suitable for everyone all abilities
Apres ski is excellent

Good, throughly enjoyed, would recommend. Had a big snow drop and some powder days. Traveled over to tignes a couple of times , runs were well groomed and accommodation was lovely

Great balance of everything here, would 100% recommend for anyone no matter skill level, and a great village with everything you need for after.

I loved this resort, endless runs to explore and you never get bored. Great place to learn as well as to explore as an expert.

An excellent place to go skiing! Modern lifts, good Apres and a great vibe.

This resort as a whole is rather pricey but you get what you pay for. There are limited tree lined runs compared to other resorts such as Les Arcs but the pistes are very well maintained and everyone is friendly and helpful.

There's always room for improvements but Val D'Isere is a brilliant resort!

Skied in Val a few times from Tignes but been a few years since I’ve stayed there.
It used to have a reputation for rich gap year kids spending daddy’s money, but that’s no longer the case. Quite a few of the party bars and clubs have closed down, and now replaced with more traditional bars.
Restaurant-wise in the village there’s a huge range from excellent burger joints to Michelin stared restaurants depending on your budget.
It’s not the cheapest of resorts, but the quality and high-end feel of most establishments feels justified.
The resort slopes to the village can be a little confusing to get around and does involve getting the free ski bus shuttle frequently when you end up back in the village, but not quite where you need to be.
Our accommodation was excellent, and we did visit a few of the high-end hotels, bars and restaurants on our trip. We even saw a rock-star celebrity.
I would definitely stay in Val again - plenty to do in an evening and still has a party vibe, but not just rich kids anymore.

Val is simply the best resort there is. For families go in April, snow coverage is still good, it’s warmer and much quieter.

Did a season here December 21 - April 22.

One of the best resorts I’ve skiied in, suitable for all levels, lots of advanced runs, and huge amount of ski areas to choose from. Apres ski is really fun with lots of options. Gets extremely busy in school holidays. Super high so almost guaranteed snow

We have been going to val d’isere for over 10 years and it has never failed to wow us every time.
Fantastic resort for skiing, apres ski, lifts, shuttle buses, snow trains and all activities across the board.
Really looking forward to going again this March - worth every penny.

Really great resort, lots of nightlife and easy bus routes to get around. good choice of accommodation with ski in/out and ski hire shops all good locations to accommodation

catered chalet experience is the best
bars and clubs are so fun to meet other people in there early 20s
koko rikos is the best apres bar and folice douce is overrated and too expensive
