Holidays in Val d’Isère : the French Alps destination where sport meets elegance

Welcome to Val d’Isère, a legendary ski resort in the French Alps set at 1’850 metres above sea level, at the gateway to the Vanoise National Park. Renowned for its exceptional snow conditions, strong sporting spirit and welcoming atmosphere, Val d’Isère perfectly balances high-mountain performance with refined French alpine living.

Once a traditional Savoyard village, Val d’Isère has become an international destination without losing its authenticity. Stone and wood chalets, lively streets, traditional churches and iconic addresses create a warm, vibrant setting. Here, the energy of skiing blends with a true mountain culture, where sporting achievements are shared just as much as long dinners and fireside moments.

In winter, Val d’Isère is part of the outstanding Espace Killy domain, linked to Tignes and offering more than 300 km of slopes. From the legendary Face de Bellevarde to the Pissaillas Glacier, rising to 3’456 metres, the resort provides a unique playground for expert skiers, freeriders and lovers of wide-open spaces, while remaining accessible to beginners.

In summer, Val d’Isère slows down without losing its character. High-altitude hikes, mountain biking, trail running, climbing and lakeside walks offer total immersion in the unspoilt landscapes of the Vanoise. Days unfold on sunny terraces, in a calmer atmosphere still driven by conviviality and a deep love for the mountains.

Val d’Isère is not just a ski resort — it is a benchmark alpine destination. TheWeekender designs tailor-made stays combining sport, nature, gastronomy and shared moments, in one of the most iconic destinations in the Alps.
