*Full Review of Val d'Isère Ski Resort* : youtube.com/watch?v=7Jz9AdvAZww&list=PLQD6-NoIh4NYFf0YFn1P89twiXF3hIctm
France-only ski holidays, planned with first-hand resort knowledge.
I’ve now released a NEW full review of Val d’Isère, which is a much more in-depth and updated guide to the resort, including the village, ski area, where to stay, luxury hotels and chalets, off-piste, winter activities and how to get there. Watch it here: youtube.com/watch?v=7Jz9AdvAZww
————————————————————————
A beautiful high altitude traditional village made with good old fashioned wood and stone!
You will find an incredible range of hotels, apartments, chalets not to mention a very lively après-ski scene which is one of the best in the French Alps (over 80 restaurants, 30 bars and 4 night clubs).
With a high altitude at 1,850m, Val d'Isère is snow guarantee during the winter season from end of November until 01 May thanks to its geographical location and by having the snow factory, the largest artifical snow making system in Europe.
