REVIEW RESORT AND WIN

VAL D’ISERE FAMILY SKI INFORMATION

Whilst Val d’Isere scores highly on a number of family ski holiday fronts, there are certainly better ski holiday destinations in France. The resort is spread out meaning that either a walk or ski bus is often required from much of the accommodation. The skiing pretty much all takes place above the tree-line which is not ideal for parents wanting to keep their kids when the bad weather sets in. Val d’Isere has a quiet pedestrianised centre but the resort does have heavy traffic elsewhere due to the massive popularity of the place and the subsequent visitors to Val d’Isere. And whilst the ski runs in the main area might be a good gradient for beginner skiers, the runs back to the village are steeper, crowded and can get very cut up later in the day.
