Val d'Isere is part of the Espace Killy, and the skiing is
difficult to beat. There are miles of great intermediate pistes, the glacier
at Tignes, the long runs down to La Daille, and experts will test their
skill and nerve on the Olympic downhill, the steep moguls of the Face and
the huge number of off-piste possibilities.
The apres-ski can be very lively, but with tea dances as
well just about everyone is catered for. Non-skiing activities include
microlite flights, snowmobiles, husky sleighs, parasailing, ice driving, ice
climbing, under-ice diving, snow shoe walks and skating. You can even ski at
night if you've still got the energy!
Access: The nearest international airport is
Geneva, 113 miles. Lyon is slightly further away 133 miles.
Road access to the resort is via the A43/A430 to Albertville, from where it
is a 35 mile drive on the D902 to Val d'Isere. In common with other major
resorts Val d'Isre is taking action to reduce the increasing congestion
caused by too many cars and too little space (especially when there's a lot
of snow). Pedestrian areas are therefore given priority in the centre of the
resort and the 10 car parks are charged for.
The nearest rail station is 18 miles away at Bourg St Maurice.
