Good snow, good cross section of mountain restaurants with many which were good value for money.
Community events were fun and interesting with carnival atmosphere including drumming, fireworks and ice sculpting.
Ice driving circuit available. A good time for us to be there because there were World Championships planned for the area.
Would definitely go again.

Did not take children so unable to comment on classes and creche facilities.
Did not seem particularly well suited for children though in general.

We were a mixed ability group and as expected the better of us had a great time, those with some experience also, but some in our group found the step up the mountain rather intimidating.

Great area for beginners located in the centre of Val d'Isere but the runs back to the resort are tough - steep and crowded. Val d'Isere has some of the best advanced and off-piste terrian in France.

Val d'Isere is pricey and has a mixed bag of development. The centre of Val d'Isere is attractive but La Daille is a shocking architectural misadventure.
