Advantages: Extensive slopes

Disadvantages: Pricey

Val D'Isere is an utterly stunning location, both summer and winter. The resort most certainly lives up to its reputation (and its accompanying price!). The range of piest is fantastic - it caters extensively for both beginners and the highly competent skier alike. The scenery is fabulous, with stunning views of great expanses of mountains stretching out before you upon every turn. The ski lifts are efficient, and have received a lot of investment in recent years.
The après-ski is also thriving, although it is more of a middle-upper class market, with extensive bars and restaurants. If you want a true taste of French cuisine, this is certainly an impressive location. The chalets on the slopes are also highly competent, with a broad range of food and beverages being offered in most. However, the reputation and quality have afforded the area significant price hikes - whilst it is possible to minimise expenditure whilst in Val D'Isere, it is certainly not the place to go on a strict budget. However, you get what you pay for, and it is indisputably value for money.

Summary: Great Skiing, Great food, Great views
