Val d'Isere, Skiing & Sno...

Beginners have the use of free slopes down at resort level. To progress you have to head up the mountain where longer green and blue runs can be used to build up confidence. For those up to the challenge there is the bonus of some extremely long green and blue runs that lead all the way from the top back to the village. These really help give a sense of what it’s all about. Roaming the mountain and enjoying the varied scenery and of course the exquisite sensations offered by snow sports.

The Espace Killy is an intermediates dream, offering tremendous skiing and snowboarding in a truly fabulous setting. Wide ranging this area is the intrepid adventurers ideal. Explore the network of blues and reds that lead down to the satellites of Tignes Les Boisses and Tignes Les Brevieres, ride high to Aguile Noire de Pramecou and see some unusual geological features and try out the thigh burning top to bottom descents from the summit of La Grande Motte. And don’t forget the numerous blues and reds above each of the Val d’Isere hamlets.

Simply awesome; several challenging pistes and endless off-piste opportunities abound throughout the Espace Killy area. The only thing you’ll be wanting for is more. There is so much off-piste here it is well worth hiring a guide to make the most of it. Check out the Tour de Charvet for powder bowls and the Rochers de la Grande Balme for couloirs.

The Espace Killy ski area is a serious contender for best freeride and freestyle zone on the planet. Superb parks are complimented by an awesome array of natural features that pepper the mountainsides. Upside down, round and round.
