    Skiing In Val d'Isere

    Skiing in Val d’Isere is divided across three main mountains. Bellevarde and Solaise can be accessed directly by lifts from the resort centre, whilst the third mountain Col de L'Iseren is connected from Solaise. Skiing back into resort can be challenging but the efficient shuttle bus service takes you easily back from the lifts to your accommodation. Val d'Isere is known for being an excellent resort for experts due to the extent of lift-served off-piste itineraries. There are also some wonderfully challenging black runs including 'le Face' the Olympic downhill piste, guaranteed to thrill even the most experienced skier. However, this shouldn’t deter beginner and intermediates, the terrain is so vast there is plenty for all abilities. Beginners have a good mix of wide greens whilst mile hungry intermediates are spoilt for choice with plenty of long cruising blue and red runs. If that wasn’t enough, with Val d’Isere linked with Tignes, there are 300km of pistes to explore on your doorstep. The excellent lift system provides easy access to the neighbouring resort and its glacier skiing.
