Luxury Ski Holidays

Val D’Isere, when combined with Tignes, makes up The Espace Killy which boasts ski runs to suit all styles and standards. Often considered the ski resort for confident skiers, this is not entirely accurate and there are still 16 pleasant green slopes for beginners. However, it’s better to err on the side of caution, as the majority of Val D’Isere’s runs have been graded lower than their actual level; i.e. red runs feel more like black, blue like red and so forth. For snowboarders there’s a comprehensive snow park in the Bellvarde La Daille and for post-ski fun, there’s ‘Fun on the Snow’, held every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 5pm at the foot of the slopes which features snow football, curling and snow body-boarding, amongst other activities. The Après Ski scene is as hardcore as the skiing, with a magnitude of bars, restaurants and clubs. Dick’s Tea Bar is the resort’s most famous; open since 1979, the vodka flows until 4am but you can still stop off for a nice cup of tea during daytime hours.
