Val D'Isère in general Reviews

I last went to Val in April this year and had a really good time. It was a bit of a random experience as it was a spur of the moment trip but it was brilliant and I loved it. I stayed at the Hotel Morriss and it was wicked. The staff were unbelievebly friendly, there was live music in the bar downstairs which was also one of the cheapest in town, ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

I booked my stay in Val D'isere with a friend as we were both working full time on a gap year before going to University. Because of this we were on a students budget. After looking at various skiing packages during the summer months it was clear the best time we could go was in the pre Christmas months in December. This almost halved the price ...  Read the complete review

I've just spent 18 weeks in Val d'Isere and I'm still getting my breath back - and I returned two weeks ago! Its the most incredible place I've ever skied, or been not only for the fact that it is probably the best skiing area in France but also for the lively night life, the general charm of Val d'Isere and the contrast of ...  Read the complete review

A bleak blast of alpine air winds its way through the gap left in the sky by two pink sentinel peaks. It cracks the sweaty, but now frozen, faces of our ski party as we wend our way back to val d'Isere. The sun starts to set on another day in paradise. Below us rise the stepped shapes of buildings cast in Legoland that abut rudely with the ...  Read the complete review

In terms of reputation Val d'Isere is right up there with the best, and having visited 2nd week of March 2001 I have to say it is throughly deserved. The Espace Killy ski area is huge, there are countless red and blue runs to keep intermediate happy, and plenty of black and off piste for the experts. There were only a couple of ...  Read the complete review

I'm definitely not what you would call an expert boarder, in fact after having done about two weeks worth of boarding over the past few years I only just discovered that I should have been riding regular as opposed to goofy! I've been to Chamonix, Verbier, Italy and St. Anton and Val D'Isere is by far my favourite resort so ...  Read the complete review

Tignes, part of the Espace Killy ski region lies the other side of the mountain from Val d'Isere. Tignes is the cheaper of the two, and the atmosphere is much less like and Eton Boarding School Open Day and more like a multi-cultural resort. The ski-ing in Tignes is superior to that of Val d'Isere with the majority of ...  Read the complete review

I knew this place had class the first bar we walked into (Moris Pub, next to the main square). I'm a huge fan of the superb Swedish pop diva, Robyn (virtually unknown in the UK unfortunately) and they were playing her second album. I thought, this is my kind of place. We had gone for a drink because we had been delivered by Crystal ...  Read the complete review

France is my favourite European ski destination. I have been to several resorts in France but Val d’Isere has become my favourite spot. Most probably because the resort offers a nice combination of skiing and entertainment. The resort is large and offers skiing for every need. Many basic slopes for the not-so-experienced ones with ...  Read the complete review
