Welcome to the winter sports resort Val d'Isère, host to the 2009 Alpine Ski World Cup. Known as "La Grande Dame", the ski areas of Val d'Isère and Tignes form one giant ski region, the "Espace Killy" (96 lifts). This 5-star ski region extends over 3 mountains and two valleys, and offers a thrill for ski fans of all ages and abilities. The ski area's high altitude (1,550 - 3,456 m) and one of the top glaciers in the Alps make the resort extremely snow-sure. Our comfortable apartments in an aesthetic chalet-style will satisfy high demands and offer top locations just a few metres from the piste and the lifts. Val d'Isère – ski on world-famous racing pistes!
Ever since the alpine competitions of Olympic games in 1992, Val d'Isère, along with its neighbour Tignes, belongs to the top French winter sport resorts. The village features a historic centre dating back to the 16th century, and has kept its Savoyard charm right up until today. The newer buildings have also been built using natural materials such as wood and stone. The village has been a skiing village since 1934, when a few ski pioneers started a ski school and built a ski lift. Since then the resort has developed further. The village centre has very little car traffic and a great infrastructure with many cafes, restaurants, shops and hotels, which offer the ideal ambience for a winter holiday.
