Gateway: Lyon/Geneva
Val d' Isere. "the authentic skiers' village", manages incredible harmony between modern tourism, local architecture and being part of one of the largest ski areas in France. As host to some events of the '92 Winter Games, more polish was added to an already magnificent gem. L' Espace Killy is so immense it seems the only way to see it all is from the space shuttle! This little village reaches to a dizzying height of 3,700 meters and encompasses over 10,000 hectares (1 hectare = 10,000 square meters) of light powder covered snowfields! If your paradise is perfectly groomed and a little gentler, the Solaise sector has the nicest beginner and intermediate slopes. The Bellavarde sector has superb access including the Funival, an underground express through the rock, to the top of Rocher de Bellevarde, with lots more great runs The Col de Iseran area provides access to the Glacier de Pissaillas. The entire region of Val d' Isere has some of the most breathtaking vistas and best skiing imaginable. |
