Skiing in Val D’Isère boasts 300km of marked runs: 20 green, 60 blue, 35 red and 16 black. There are 90 ski lifts that are constantly being improved in attempt to banish Val d’Isère’s queues. There are three main sectors: Bellevarde is easily accessed by the funicular at La Daille or L’Olympique gondola in town and is the route over to Tignes. The Bellevarde area contains the legendary Face run, which is often completely bumped up. The World Cup downhill is held on the OK run at La Daille.

Solaise is a sunny area that’s really good for intermediates although there are some challenging runs back to the village.

Col de l’Iseran can be accessed from Solaise or from Le Fornet in the main valley. The runs are pretty easy and the views beautiful, making skiing in Val D'Isere an ideal destination for beginners and intermediates. From here you can also access some of the best off-piste terrain.
