French Alps

Val d'Isère

Val d'Isère has some of the most reliable snow in the Alps. It's a genuine mountain village set at 1,850m, with skiing up to 3,450m. This is the place that raised Jean-Claude Killy, who lent his name to the Espace Killy — still one of the most storied ski areas in the world. The Face de Bellevarde has hosted both Olympic downhill and World Championship racing. Serious terrain, real history, and some of the best après-ski in the Alps.
