Val d'Isere Resort Guide
Val d’Isère is one of the world’s great ski resorts. This high-altitude French village has evolved over the last 40 years to become the global benchmark for other alpine resorts. Not only is the vast Espace Killy ski region one of the best in Europe but Val d’Isère also packs a punch when it comes to dining, shopping, nightlife and après ski. Val d’Isère is a bustling village that is packed with shops, bars and restaurants. Whether you are looking for gourmet dining or a quick burger from the Burger House you will find plenty of options whatever your budget. By restricting car access and leaving most of the roads covered with snow, wondering the streets and alleys of Val d’Isère is a pure delight. Val d’Isère’s nightlife and restaurant scene has improved massively in recent years with long-time favorites The Lodge, Dick’s Tea Bar, Café Face and Le Blizzard ensuring that holiday makers and second home owners are well catered for. Val d’Isère’s skiing is second to none being both extensive and high altitude. The village itself is one of Europe’s highest ski resorts at 1,850m with the ski area topping out at a dizzying 3,480m. Val d’Isère has also greatly improved its non-skiing offering in recent years. The completion in 2009 of the vast leisure centre has added swimming pools, squash courts, gyms, climbing facilities, spa and wellness and much more. If you are looking to buy a property in the French Alps then Val d’Isère is often high on any perspective buyers list. If you do find an apartment or chalet available for sale in Val d’Isère then you are advised to act quickly. Tight planning laws have severely restricted the amount of new development and properties for sale are in high demand.
