Val d'Isère Reviews & Ratings

Val DIsere is an upmarket resort which caters for all but especially well for advanced and expert skiers. There is a great range of off piste skiing and a good community which surrounds it, with guides available and mixed off piste guided groups. There is a great apres scene and some really nice restaurants, be sure to book if there is somewhere you really want to go.

Love it! Great ski and even better apres ski. Not loads of accommodation options especially if on a budget, ski pass is also expensive however it includes Tignes too so I think its definitely worth it

Without a doubt the best resort in the alps. It has the variety of slops with options for every level. The apres is brilliant and nothing compares to it.

Id take the mountains over a beach any day. Skiing has been my favourite holiday since I can remember, it lends itself to my Duracell bunny-like character and the mountain landscape never fails to amaze me. My love affair with skiing started back when I was just 3 but I cant say I was a fan back then, so Im told I cried for the duration. But skip a few years, to those of which I have a recollection, and I would fizz at the thought of heading to the Alps, the place we most frequented on family ski holidays. Ive been very lucky to have skied at many French resorts, including Chamonix, Les Arc, Morzine, Les 3 Vallées, La Plagne, Avoriaz and Alpe d'Huez but never had I visited Val DIsère. Sitting at 1850 meters, this prime spot appeals to a sporty crowd of serious skiers, quite like myself. But dont be fooled into thinking that it's all go and no play. Val DIsère strikes a balance for die-hard skiers and high-end travellers, with a stream of exceptional restaurants, incredible hotels and alpine activities. Lets take you through why in just 4 days, Val DIsère has fast-tracked its way to top spot on my ski resort's little black book.

Val D'isere is regularly named one on the best ski resorts for a reason. Everything just works, it's all very well connected with Tignes and the bus system is excellent. The lift queues at busier times move quickly. The Piste is always really well looked after, and there is something for everyone.. If you're keen enough to get fresh tracks after a fresh snow fall the off piste is world class. We used The ESF and Evo 2 on different occasions for ski school and both were excellent and caring with our kids age 5 and 7. The choice of restaurants is varied and it has one of the best pastry shops in France in the village. Val D'isere is truly a brilliant holiday, you get what you pay for. My late dad used to say " You remember the experience long after you've forgotten the bill"

Had a great week skiing in Val Disere. Plenty of slopes for all abilities and great apres. Would recommend for anyone looking to get the most out of their ski holiday.

Amazing ski areas with top class groomed runs. Perfect access to off piste; with every standard of skier accommodated. The town is always lively, with some good quality restaurants and fun bars to hangout in.One downside is that over the last few years it seems to be moving away from the core rustic, riding, party scene. More towards Courchevel/Meribel vibes, very high end clientele, just for rich and elite. Prices have gone through the roof.

Lovely area, amazing views and slopes, so much to offer, apres ski is 10/10 and night life. By far best place!

Groomed runs were in great condition every day. We were lucky to get a good amount of snow early on. The lifts were great, always open on time and very little queuing when we were there. The accomodation was great, and the town itself was really nice. Everything g you need in close proximity. Apres at folie and cocos is always on point

Amazing resort, always good snow due to its altitude, never too busy on the slopes, stunning views, easy to get to, inumerous runs to choose from.I have been 3 times and it's at the top of our preferred resorts.

Went to Val dIsère over Christmas. Its a good ski resort but high-class/expensive. We got unlucky with the weather and had a snow storm,. Lots of closed slopes and the connection to Tignes was closed as a result as well. Otherwise had a beautiful sunny ski day day one. The snow up top is good; but at the bottom gets icier. However it should get better as the season is at its peak.

Val dIsère is easily one of the top three resorts in Europe!
Taking everything into account, ski area, lift system, verity of piste, après, off piste skiing, eating out, accessibility, bus system, quality of town etc it is hard to beat.
The skiing is vast, all the lifts get to where you want to be and fast, eating on the slopes is amazing, great après/nightlife, beautiful town. The bus system in town run until the early hours and bus sees come every 5-10mins and take you to exactly where you need to go.

Good for all abilities with a preference for intermediates through to experts.

Only down side is that its the longest transfer from the closest airports. Can be busy during peak weeks but so can any ski resort.

Simply the best resort for high quality skiing and great apres ski. High prices - but also high octane and high quality x

Had a wonderful time skiing, vast selection of runs. A little pricey but most places are now. However there seems to be limited runs for beginners. Which made it a little tricky for people who were part of our group.

Challenging runs for all (good mix of blue, red and black runs) and vast number too. Great apres ski too. One of my favourite resorts!

Val disere is hands down one of the best ski resorts Ive been too with loads so many different runs but he on and off piest its hard to chose from which is the best loads of amenities for both kids and adults great food and restaurants Is one of the more exspensive resorts bive been to but you get what you pay for !

Val D'isere is a resort you need to go to at least once! Incredible resort, plenty to do and an abundance of runs for all levels. Either going up the Olympic bubble or the solaise chair lift, there is plenty of green and blue runs for morning and afternoon ski to keep you in the sun. All the runs and well groomed and vary wide and cruisy to more fun narrower tree runs and into challenging blacks & reds

Great resort, although can be a bit expensive to eat out all the time. Definitely go inside of UK and French term time as the slopes are a bit quieter. The ski pass includes 2 free swims at the Aquasportif, which is great when youve had a hard day on the slopes and want to relax your muscles.

This is an perfect resort for balance -ski, apres, food. For beginners its not so great, as you need to head to the top of the mountain to get the baby slopes.

Lovely resort with plenty to do for non-skiers as well. Massive selection of places to eat & drink with a good vibe.
