The resort sits at 1800m, meaning it has one of the longest winter seasons in the Alps, and a remarkable quality of snow throughout. What’s more, the Val d’Isère glacier opens in June each year on Pisaillas for summer skiers. Val D’Isere is also known for the legendary Snowpark, where skiers and snowboarders can enjoy jumps, boardercrosses and rails to their heart’s content.

Chauffeur Service
If you fancy having an extra glass of rosé or going all-out for dinner somewhere, we can arrange a car to drop or pick you up anywhere and bring you back to the hotel. Many of our chalets come with a dedicated driver service anyway, but if not then we can arrange it for you.
Nannies
Whatever your needs, we can arrange childcare to give you as much or as little time as you need with our partners Jelly and Ice Cream. Covering the whole of Val d’Isere, Jelly and Ice Cream provide childcare in the form of private nannies and babysitting services throughout the day and evening. Their qualified nannies all have excellent knowledge of the resort, and will arrange all sorts of activities to make sure your little ones enjoy their holidays just as much as you do.
