What Skiers Say About Val d'Isère

Val d'Isère attracts predominantly intermediate to expert skiers and snowboarders, with many reviewers noting the extensive ski area (particularly when combined with Tignes) and high-altitude, snow-sure terrain. The resort is consistently praised for its après-ski scene, especially venues like Cocorico and La Folie Douce, and the quality of piste grooming. Beginners report mixed experiences, with some finding suitable runs at altitude but others noting that routes back to the village are red or black, requiring gondola access. Nearly all reviewers mention high prices for accommodation, dining, and lift passes, though most consider the overall experience worthwhile despite the cost.

Tignes- Val d’isere is our go destination for spring time ski. Never been disappointed! Due to altitude the snow is excellent for the time of the year while temperatures are much more pleasant than earlier in the season - matters when travelling with kids!

As Val D’Isere is so high the snow is always great . Very well groomed runs and extensive efficient lift system. It’s a beautiful town with a lot of character.

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.

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.
