Perched at 1850 meters, Val d'Isère is characterized by its demanding ski area.
Considered a benchmark sports resort, the Savoyard spot still exudes a certain simplicity.
Alongside the arrival of groups like Paris Society, Loulou Group, etc.
there are many family addresses, good quality-price ratios in terms of hotels, and a common value among the clientele which is still heterogeneous and not stuffy: skiing first.

Renovated 2-star hotel on the snow front: La Galise
Renovated 2-star hotel on the snow front: La Galise in Val d'Isère.
Christophe Hassel
It is one of the oldest hotels in Val d'Isère (since 1932), run by the fourth generation represented by Thibault and Magali.
Ideally located in the pedestrian zone of Val Village, it has retained all its exterior charm with its small flower shutters.
Inside, the thirty rooms with bathroom have been partly renovated and offer simple comfort, with contemporary codes.
The common areas - a lounge area and a breakfast room - could perhaps benefit from some warmth.
The advantages:
the location and the unbeatable value for money given the views of the ski area and the prestige of the resort.
The price
: from €162 per double room.

Cousins Audrey and Valérie (fourth generation) renovated the family address without losing any of its soul.
No swimming pool, no spa, but a warm welcome, a large living room with dining room, terrace and casserole dishes to share on one side, club armchairs, games and aperitifs in a cozy atmosphere on the other... The 17 renovated rooms tastefully spacious, and the well-appointed “family rooms” preserve everyone’s privacy.
One of the best value for money in the village.
The pluses
: the central location, the lion's paw bathtubs in almost all the rooms, and the woolen fabrics by Arpin.
The price
: from €225 per double room.
