Val d'Isère

Blending innovation and authenticity, Val d’Isère is one of the world’s most iconic resorts: a state-of-the-art ski area, fun zones for children, skiing for all levels and the whole family, and international sporting events.

The authentic village of Val d’Isère, nestled at 1,850 m in the Haute-Tarentaise valley, became a ski resort in 1938. Since the 1992 Winter Olympics and later the 2009 Ski World Championships, Val d’Isère has maintained sporting facilities appreciated by advanced skiers. Internationally recognized, Val d’Isère shares its ski area with Tignes, offering 300 km of pistes, making it one of the largest ski areas in the world.

Thanks to its geographic location, the resort benefits from excellent snow cover: 60 % of the pistes are above 2,200 m, and frequent easterly winds bring abundant snowfalls. In addition, Val d’Isère is equipped with Europe’s most efficient snow-making facility, the Atelier de la Neige, ensuring optimal piste coverage through responsible snow production, particularly at the start of the season.

At the heart of the Fornet sector, the new-generation Vallon de l’Iseran cable car

Inaugurated during the 2024–2025 winter season, the Vallon de l’Iseran cable car links the Fornet area to the Pissaillas glacier in record time. Comfort, speed, and environmental respect guided this exemplary project, designed to preserve the natural surroundings of the area. Since the 2025–2026 winter season, the arrival station features an original scenography titled “The Legend of Mont Iseran”: a poetic immersion into the history of the legendary Mont Iseran, a peak that has inspired alpinists and travelers for more than two centuries.
