Ski holidays Val d'Isère – ski on world-famous racing pistes!

Val d'Isère

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. For 50 years now, the charming and welcoming winter sports resort introduces the annual winter season with first-class alpine racers speeding down the hills. The village centre has very little car traffic and a great infrastructure with many cafés, restaurants, shops and hotels, which offer the ideal atmosphere for a winter holiday.

Tignes – Val d’Isère

Welcome to the Tignes - Val d'Isère ski resort, where the world champions train and where everything revolves around one thing for 9 1/2 months of the year: skiing! This gigantic ski circus with 300 kilometres of pistes and 86 lifts hosted the Alpine competitions of the Olympic Games in 1968 and 1992. And in 2009 the region was host to the ski world championship! This 5-star ski area sprawls over three mountains and two valleys, which will make every skier’s heart race. Numerous varied runs, glacier pistes and forest descents can be found here, as well as world-famous racing pistes and mogul slopes, but also beginner pistes which are party accessible via free lifts. The high altitude (1,550 – 3,456 m) and one of the most attractive glaciers in the Alps guarantee high levels of snow.
