Val d Isere - base 1849 m · 1849 m
Sharing a high valley surrounded by 3,000-meter peaks, Val d'Isère and neighboring Tignes offer 300 kilometers of skiable terrain served by more than 150 ski lifts. This comprises the vast Espace Killy, named for Olympic triple gold medal winner Jean-Claude Killy, a native of Val d'Isère. The lowest terrain is at an altitude of 1,550 meters, and the highest reaches to 3,450 meters, which helps keep the season open into May.
There's terrain for all skill levels, including slopes for children and beginners. Youngsters can ride covered magic-carpet lifts to gentle downhill slopes, and ski instruction here is among the best. A new Travelator, an enclosed magic-carpet from the top of a gondola, accesses a gentle high-altitude slope, so even beginning skiers can enjoy the thrill—and the views—of high-altitude skiing. The layout of the lifts is very skier-friendly, connecting skiers to different areas without long, level catwalk trails.
