Val-d’Isère for a traditional French skiing holiday



We’re into September already, and it’s not too early to be thinking about skiing holidays. In fact with a bit of advanced planning, you can pick up some very reasonable skiing packages. So where to go? One place that proves to be popular year upon year is the beautiful commune of Val d’Isère in south-eastern France, located in the Rhône-Alpes region.

Val d’Isère covered with snow has a magical quality, with its traditional Savoyarde architecture of stone built civic buildings and wooden chalets, nestling in the most inspiring mountainous setting. L’Espace Killy, which is composed of Val d’Isère and Tignes, is one of the highest extended ski domains in the world, and the area has an excellent snow record.

The après-ski around Val-d’Isère is among the best, with plenty of bars, pubs and clubs to suit every taste. The food in the area is a delight too, and there are plenty of top quality restaurants, as well as some more budget eateries.

If you want to introduce your children to the slopes, then the perfect place is the Children’s Village which has an area specifically designed for beginners, and welcomes children from as young as 18 months old for fun and games in the snow.

If a hard day’s skiing on the slopes isn’t enough, then Val d’Isère now has a new sports centre with a swimming pool, a play pool, a climbing area, a multi-activity sports hall, and weights room, squash courts, sauna, Turkish bath, and hydro-massage. Val d’Isère also has an ice skating rink right in the heart of the resort.

So if you are about to plan that perfect skiing holiday for the coming winter, Val d’Isère provides the best in skiing as well as plenty of other activities and nightlife. With Val d’Isère not only will the skiers in the group have a holiday to remember, but the non-skiers too.
