Val d'Isère Reviews & Ratings

We went out as a family with partners and found there was a great verity of slopes for all experiences. Loved how wide some of the slopes were and can easily find quiet places. Chair lifts busy but lines kept moving with very little wait time. Dropped down into Tigne for a day and really enjoyed the panoramic run and restaurant. The Folie douce is THE place to go followed by cocorico. Food is excellent and the milkshakes in the Roxy cafe are great after a day skiing or going to the pool to relax. We skied every day as snow was great but love how there are alternative options in the sport centre.

Amazing resort, huge ski area, great options for eating out and apres and lots of ski in ski out accommodation as well as a super reliable bus service.

The best there is! So many amazing runs and such a beautiful resort with endless incredible views, amazing bars and restaurants

A great resort with plenty of different accommodation options and various lifts from the town. A large ski area which include Tigne and the glacier. A great family friendly snow park at the top of the bubble lift with magic carpet. ESF beginner ski school in the town is very good.

We’ve been to Val d’Isère several times, but this was the first time out of school holidays and it was so much quieter. We were incredibly lucky with the weather as there had been a lot of snowfall the previous week, but mostly blue skies when we were there. As a result snow quality was amazing.

There are so many runs for every type of skier and a huge area to ski. We particularly loved the top end of Val - across the up & over lift. It is high, quieter than the lower area and Tignes and excellent snow and variety. We would ski back down to le fornet and get the free bus back to town (a short journey) after a drink at the bottom.

Having said that, our very favourite run is the Grand Pré - a green run on the other side. We say ‘the sun always shines on the Grand Pre’. It’s a lovely wide run, often quiet, and the new restaurant there is an excellent addition. It’s a great run to get your ski legs back at the start of a holiday.

We’ve been to several different ski areas in France & Austria, but Val d’Isere is by far our favourite.

I went to val 2 times over Christmas 2015/2018 & love the place. Massive ski area with wide long runs. We had the lift pass allowing us to go over to tignes also which was great for the beginners of our group. Would love the chance to return one day

Incredible resort with a crazy expanse of mountains to ski - you just keep going over the next one and it looks like you’re in a completely new resort! Super cool ski parks and there was even a freestyle event in which was fun to watch. Lots of apres as well to keep the party alive all night, I really don’t remember how we got back one night! But busses run into the late hours so always way to get back along with plenty of Ubers

It is an area for all levels of skiers and snowboarders with various levels of terrain suited for all levels. With also a wild social factor with Apres and lots of bars and restaurants to end your day perfectly

Great resort, snow sure with a huge ski area. Some nice places to stay and generally all near the slopes. Plenty of great restaurants and shops. It’s at the more glamorous end of the resort spectrum without being silly. Have been many times and always had a good trip

Great resort. Amazing slopes for all levels. Pretty with trees everywhere. Centre is lovely with great bars and restaurants.

It was a long time ago but we had a great time the chalet girl was amazing I g I had two young kids and they were well looked after at ski school and had the best trip

Loved my first trip to Val D’isere! As an intermediate skier, it has loads of options for great skiing and close to places like Tignes to get even more skiing and new runs!

The town is amazing with great food and shops!

Would love to go back!

Really enjoyed my stay in Val D’Isère the people grooming the slopes do an amazing job, the Apres ski staff are excellent & ski instructors are very friendly & give great advice. Great place to visit!

We came to Val d’isere as a mixed group, with 3 complete beginners. I was nervous because of Val d’isere’s reputation for being more difficult than other resorts, but we had a great time! The blues probably are harder than other resorts, but they are so much fun and we all had a great time!! Apres was fun, though I thought Folie Douce is mega overrated and Coco ricos is much more fun. We also went to le hibou (?) for more chilled drink and food and would recommend there too cos it also had a happy hour!!

Expensive but great. Take fam, take friends, all good. Apres ski great but again expensive. Bougie resort, bougie prices

As a beginner skier I found the graduation from ski school to blue quite tough. I wish there were a few easier runs to cut your teeth on.

I have enjoyed my day of skiing at Val d’Isere. The infrastructure of the lifts and variety of slopes were great. The lifts staff was very helpful. I would love to go back soon.

A great resort for on and off-piste skiing for all abilities, best with fresh snow for unlimited off-piste, apres is great (but still a second to major austrian alps resorts)

I seriously have the best time every time I come to Val d’Isere. Best slopes, best après, best vibes.

Incredible resort! So many runs and in great conditions on the piste! Few rocky runs here and there and no as much snow as in March 2025 but they were doing a great job of making snow and keeping the piste in great condition. Have booked to go back in 6 weeks time
