The combined lift systems of Val d’Isère and Tignes (the Espace Killy - 300km of marked runs) offer some of the very best skiing and boarding in the world. The excellent lift system also provides access to some of the most exciting off-piste in the Alps, such as Le Tour du Charvet, Le Grand Vallon and the Col du Pers. The snowpark facilities are well developed and offer the opportunity to try a little free-style, if you feel up to it!
Val d’Isère offers possibly the most trendy and lively après-ski of anywhere in the Alps. Look out for the Pacific Bar, Saloon or Le Petit Danois for mingling with fellow countrymen or Café Face and The Lodge for more of an experience of French ambience. The famous Dick’s T-Bar opens late – for those with the energy for dancing! Val d’Isère offers a wide variety of restaurants to please any appetite; from fish and sushi to the local savoyarde style. There is also an ice rink, fitness centre, swimming pool, ice climbing, skidooing, ice karting and parapenting.
