The Resort
Val d’Isere is the oldest of the French ski resorts and a gleaming icon at the end of the valley where the residential town lies. Surrounded by what is arguably some of the most beautiful mountain landscape in the world, the chalet village is centred around a charming baroque church. It’s a lovely place for wandering, taking in the cosy atmosphere and spending quality time with your favourite people.
Val d’Isere is composed of three skiing sections. These are La Daille, Val d’Isere centre and Le Fornet, all of which are linked by a free shuttle service. Alongside Tignes, the resort is part of a wider ski area known as Espace Killy, and a lift pass will get you access to its entirety. Ski season in both resorts stretches as long as May.
Thanks to its high altitude, Val d’Isere is probably your most snow sure option for skiing in the French Alps. The village rests at 1850 metres and its peak on top of the La Grande Motte glacier is 3456 metres high. Sixty per cent of the resort’s pistes are set above 2200 metres, meaning that the skiing is consistently good but on rare occasions, bad weather can cause the slopes to close. It’s also important to keep in mind that Val d’Isere isn’t the best choice if you’re just finding your feet on the snow, and beginners may well find themselves challenged. On the flipside, Val d’Isere is one of the top choices for experienced skiers and snowboarders, with plenty of challenging black runs (such as the iconic Face the Bellevarde, where the 1992 Olympic men’s downhill was run).
And to go with some of the most exciting and picturesque skiing in France, down in the village you’ll find some amazing bars and restaurants. What better way to celebrate conquering that tricky black run than by indulging in some equally entertaining après-ski? On the mountain itself, you can start your evening with DJ’s and live music at La Folie Douce until the lifts close and then work your way into town.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesChalet Lucille promises an unforgettable family holiday with its blend of comfort, adventure, and safety. The spaciousness of its seven ensuite bedrooms provides ample space for parents and kids to unwind, while the communal living area becomes a cosy hub for family bonding around the crackling fireplace. The enchanting Le Fornet village, just a short bus ride away from bustling Val d’Isère, offers a peaceful setting perfect for families.
Ski enthusiasts of all ages will love the chalet's proximity to the piste, making skiing with kids a breeze. Plus, the legendary Pisaillas glacier skiing and powder-filled slopes add extra excitement. Parents can relax in the spa area while the little ones have a blast in the outdoor hot tub, always keeping safety in mind.
For young explorers, the river views from the terrace and the charm of the village provide opportunities for nature-inspired learning. Just keep in mind the shared toilets and ensure caution around stairs and balconies. With the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and family-friendly features, Chalet Lucille becomes a home where cherished memories are crafted amidst the beauty of the French Alps.
