Val d'Isère
Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France★4.7editor's rating
Val d'Isère links with neighbouring Tignes to form the vast Espace Killy / Tignes-Val d'Isère domain, one of the largest and most snow-sure ski areas in France with around 300km of pistes between 1,550m and 3,456m. The high altitude and two glaciers give excellent snow reliability and a long season, while the terrain spans gentle cruising and serious steeps like the Face de Bellevarde.
