Val d'Isère reviews

Best ski resort in Europe for advanced/expert skiers. Incredible off-piste terrain. Even Val Thorens, my #2 ski resort, has nothing on this. Nice town with good après-ski bars.

• Everything

• Expensive

Extensive skiing opportunities, cozy 'village atmosphere', beautiful chalets, lovely surroundings. However, it's getting more expensive each year, but then you have a certain clientelle who can pay so why lower the prices ! Every time it's a real pleasure to be there and to ski in the Espace Killy - awesome skiing. The apres ski is nothing like in Austrian in resorts such as Lech, it's about the same level as in Verbier - not just beer drinking and stomping on tables!

• Extensive ski area which challenges all levels

• Expensive

Perfect for a group of mixed skiers and snowboarders - mostly intermediate to advanced. The nightlife is nice and varied too - everything a bit on the expensive side but you can't complain when you get up on the slopes!

• Varied après ski
• varied skiing

• expensive
• some places can be a bit pretentious

lovely town centre with lots of charm and some great restaurants and nightlife - if a little out dated - skiing lives up to its world class reputation - absolute must for all ski buffs

• atmosphere
• endless skiing possibilities

• bit expensive
• overcrowded in school holidays

We've been going to Val for years and have seen its evolution from popular, not too expensive ski resort to trendy, stylish and rather expensive resort. Even if it's expensive now, we cannot resist returning each year. This ski resort has something special and with the recent renovation and construction of attractive chalet-style buildings, and a great ski lift network, you know you're paying for something.

• Great restaurants and fanastic skiing including Tignes

• Getting a little bit expensive

Fantastic all-round resort with easily accessible skiing with access to Tignes and the glacier skiing and a great choice of extra activities. Lots of bars and restaurants and even a couple of decent night clubs!

• Excellent snow conditions due to high altitude

• Prices a quite high!
