Hotels in Val-d'Isere

Carving through pristine powder on world-class slopes feels almost mandatory in this legendary Alpine playground. The Face de Bellevarde challenges even Olympic-level skiers, while beginners find gentler terrain across the vast Espace Killy. After conquering the mountains, warm up with vin chaud at a slope-side chalet before joining the famous outdoor parties at La Folie Douce. Summer reveals another side as hiking trails through Vanoise National Park open, revealing alpine meadows and wildlife. The village itself maintains authentic charm despite its glamorous reputation, with stone-and-timber buildings housing everything from Michelin-starred restaurants to cosy fondue spots. For a true adventure, spend a night at Refuge du Prariond, where stars seem close enough to touch.
