Val-d'Isère: everything for skiing… Or almost!

ALPINE FESTINS (4/5) - This chic and sporty resort still holds the rope, tempted by luxury, to which the village spirit opposes an elegant resistance.


Let it be said: we come to Val-d'Isère first to ski. Because alpine skiing has the value of religion, served by an exceptional, sloping and sporting area, spread over Tignes, the close neighbor. But be careful, the resort is a little color blind, because here the blue slopes can turn red, like the Santon, and the red slopes can turn black, the OK (Oreiller-Killy). As for the black runs, it is better to find out before setting out on them, because some, like the Face de Bellevarde, have something to impress with their vertical drop. It has been used since 1992 to host the Critérium de la première neige, a stage of the Ski World Cup since 1955. That is to say! A diversion of color which amuses the Avalins and which they sum up with a marketing formula: a cutting-edge offer!
