The slopes

Ski Information Beginners

(Crystal rating 3)

Don't get the idea that Val d'Isère is for experts only! Far from it - there are several good nursery slopes and a number of lifts which are absolutely free for skiing debutants.

Ski Information Intermediates

(Crystal rating 5)

A true intermediates' paradise, Val d'Isère is big-time skiing country. From the gentle cruising blue and red runs of the Bellevarde and La Daille sectors to the Le Fornet glacier and the massive ski domain of Tignes and La Grande Motte, there is endless choice at every level.

Ski Information Advanced

(Crystal rating 5)

Val d'Isère must be included in every list of the best skiing in Europe for its giant moguls, steep black runs, couloirs and not least for its sensational off-piste. Try the Olympic Men's Downhill run, the waist-high Solaise bumps just above the village or the powder bowls of the Tour de Charvet.

Ski Information Snowboarding

(Crystal rating 4)

This area really does have it all, it is one of the best playgrounds in Europe no matter what you want with a boardpark and freeriding that doesn't get any better, on or off-piste.
