Winter 2022/2023: season opening postponed
A vast ski area with great snow conditions: snow is guaranteed!
Val d’Isère’s ski area is open on ski touring from end of November until May 1st. With dedicated pistes as well as some magnificent and easily accessible off-piste opportunities. You can tackle the iconic Face de Bellevarde with its great views across the Alps and the village down below.
Speaking of the Face de Bellevarde brings to mind the important races that have taken place here. These include the men’s skiing events at the 1992 Albertville Winter Olympics, the Alpine Skiing World Championships in 2009 and also the Critérium de la 1ère Neige which each winter brings together the world’s top skiers.
After a short warm-up, La Face is best tackled first thing in the morning when it has been freshly groomed. It’s a real delight, but be aware that this run is only suitable for skiers who’ve reached a competent level of expertise. It’s most definitely not for beginners or low intermediates.
Val d’Isère offers a vast ski area with great snow and optimal weather conditions for skiing. Temperatures are regularly subzero during the day and/or at night during the entire winter season, as well as in April. This maintains snow cover, even without new snowfalls. The snow is always there!
The snow guarantee allows you to ski almost all year round. Val d’Isère offers a wide choice of special offers featuring spring and summer skiing. You can ski during the summer on the Pissaillas glacier. A shuttle bus offers transport to the foot of the glacier with all-inclusive ski pass. Don’t miss the opportunity of enjoying summer skiing above 3000 meters.
