Val d'Isere Resort Information

For those that don't know, a little about the ski resort of Val d'Isere.

Val d'Isere is part of the world famous ski Espace Killy network. Linked with Tignes it offers some of the most extensive linked skiing in Europe. In contrast to its neighbour in Tignes, Val d'Isere is an upmarket, tasteful ski resort that is often frequented by the rich and famous. The chalets are beautifully designed and a combination of traditional wood and old slate stone. The town itself has something for everyone from luxury boutiques, chic restaurants, and lively bars to dance the night away. On the latter, it is definitely the place to be seen to ski if you just left Eton, Oxford, or Cambridge!  And unlike some resorts, here the chalet girls ensure the traditional male orientated apres ski is always evened up. And these chalets girls are typically a cut above the rest,  with accents that confirm that nearly all are fresh out of finishing school!

So we have established its an upmarket ski resort, but what about the skiing. The highest lift station in the Espace Killy network is 3,450m, there are 300km of pistes, unlimited off-piste, and in terms of ski runs, 63 blue, 46 red, and 25 black. Yes, plenty for even the hardiest and keenest of skiers.

If you are thinking of a ski Val d'Isere holiday, then you may want to go the whole hog and book a ski in ski out holiday. After all, if you are going to ski one, if not the best resorts in the world, you might as well go the whole hog. Ski In Ski Out specialist SkiInSkiOut-Chalets has a number of ski in ski out Val d'Isere properties and a couple that stand out in our book are the luxury catered Chalet Mistral and luxury ski Chalet Yeti. We'l provide more info on these later on as our blogs evolve.
