Val d'Isère Reviews & Ratings

Wonderfull selection of pistes for intermediate to expert skiers. Not good for beginners. Great apres ski & restaurants around the resorts for coffee stops & lunch

As with Tignes you get what you pay for by going high. Not quite as high though at billage level at 1850 m but pretty famed good with vary fast gondas whisking you out of the main village straight about to 2000m plus in 3 to 5 minutes.
The village is a party place with great venues such as cocaricos and folie douce.
Cheaper food is available but there are some high end lunch and dinner spots both on and off the mountain.
Two lower priced lunch on mountain venues are well worth visits at Marmottes off Belvarde mountain and at Cascade up in the Fornet sector. Platvde jour at approximately 13 ! Coffee 2.5 bargain!

An excellent, snow sure resort - fabulous for off piste and touring.

Great retail offer, really decent food and beverage options and enough car parking

Has it all for a mixed ability and age skiing groups.
There are also activities for non skiers and skiers alike.
It is an established town with an authentic alpine vibe, which makes it pleasant for an after ski stroll.

Fantastic choice of runs and off off-piste, all served by excellent fast lifts and Funival. Plenty of choice of restaurants and bars on the mountain and in the village, but few cheap options.

A excellent resort which due to its hight is usually snow sure. The resort is trying to make it more beginer friendly and some areas at the top of the mountain with good snow have opened up. There are some moves in the town centre to modernise the town, but there are fears that are trying to attract richer clients with high cost designer shops. The keen skiers are hoping there is still space for those that have not got plenty of money. Overall the best lift system in the alps.

Skiing with ski club is excellent a informal group who offer companionship and friends to ski with whether there for a day or season nothing better

Learnt to ski hear. Amazing resort, though a little pricey. The ski area itself is indelible and the town is really big with plenty of nice hotels, restaurants, bars etc. and family friendly too. Very popular with the brits so lots to cater to our bizarre needs.

Val d'Isère is phenomenal! Amazing slopes for all levels, excellent off-piste, and a top notch lift system. The town has a great vibe with lively après-ski and fantastic restaurants. I had an unforgettable time and can't wait to return. Highly recommend!

AWESOME! Plenty of skiing for everyone inc skiing over to Tignes valley- probably not the best resort for beginner skiers but plenty of variety for everyone else with plenty of challenging runs and off piste terrain.

In my opinion 100% the best après ski resort in the French Alps!

Very Diverse Slopes, can ride to different areas at different ski levels due to route options. Excellent apres and good food choice through the slopes. Minimal tree riding but still good slopes other than that

Great resort, lots of places to hire skis. Runs were great. On a clear day the view was absolutely breath taking. We had a couple of days where the weather was bad however the resort gave us a partial refund for the lift pass which was a bug bonus. Hats off to the resort, we had a great time.

With its rich array of slopes, exceptional snow record, and lively village ambiance, Val d'Isère stands as one of the eminent giants among all French ski resorts. This charming village, known for its sophistication and world-class ski terrain, forms part of the Espace Killy ski area along with Tignes. Would highly recommend it!

Great resort with a vast ski area, le fornet is great for powder fields and skiing across to tignes for lunch is a pleasure.
Some very nice bars and restraints, Le Petit Danois is always lively and Le Garage is a great dinner location.
The Apres at Follie and Cocos are great fun and compete with Val Thorens as some of the best in France.

One of the best resorts Ive ever been to, its huge and has loads of options for everyone. You can ski for a week and not do all the runs. Would highly recommend.

Groomed piste's are impeccable. Off piste options to ski is very good with good access. Environment in resort is very family friendly snd great place to be. Bars and restaurants are very nice and many options to choose from. People are extremely friendly snd helpful. Great resort.

Fantastic resort for all levels, great lift accessible off piste!

There is some amazing ski touring to be done here, as well as some pretty easily accessible off piste runs with no walking needed!

One of if not my favourite resort, apres ski is incredible and the town itself is stunning. Would definitely recommend, however it is quite expensive, especially at peak times.

Fantastic resort for both family and friend trips. Highly recommend. An abundance of runs that cater to all levels of ability. Great snow parks too!

For over a decade, Val d'Isère has been my go-to destination, and it never fails to deliver. As an expert skier, what sets this resort apart is its unparalleled terrain variety and challenging runs. From the technical steeps of La Face de Bellevarde to the adrenaline-pumping off-piste routes in the Fornet area, there's always something to push your limits.

The snow conditions are consistently excellent, thanks to its high altitude and modern snowmaking infrastructure. And lets not forget the legendary après-ski sceneLa Folie Douce is a must for anyone who wants to celebrate a day on the slopes with energy and style.

The resorts charm extends beyond the slopes. The village manages to blend traditional Alpine aesthetics with a vibrant atmosphere. The local restaurants serve everything from hearty Savoyard classics to fine dining, and the lifts are modern and efficientrarely will you waste time queuing.

For expert skiers, Val d'Isère offers more than just runs; it offers an experience. Every season I return, and every season I leave with stories of new challenges conquered and memories that keep me coming back. Whether its carving fresh tracks in unspoiled powder or navigating the famous Tour de Charvet, Val d'Isère consistently raises the bar. If you live for skiing and want a resort that matches your passion, look no further.
