This vast resort was the venue for many events during the 1992 Olympic Winter Games. Considered to be one of the world’s premier luxury ski resorts, Val d’Isère includes the Espace Killy ski area, named after the famous elite French skier Jean-Claude Killy, featuring 97 ski lifts up to heights of over 3500m, including the Le Fornet glacier with its guaranteeing snow. With over 300km of pistes and over 10,000 ha of lift-served off-piste, Val d’Isère comprises more skiable terrain than Whistler in British Columbia, Canada. France’s answer to Verbier, St. Anton and Jackson Hole, Val d’Isère is a seriously impressive paradise for skiers and boarders with a fabulous and extremely active après-ski scene that’s perfect for its nouveau riche crowd.
