The World Alpine Ski Championships:
3rd - 15th February
350 athletes, 60 nations, 11 events, 1,000 team
members one venue! This February Val d'Isere is hosting The World
Alpine Ski Championships. This is the perfect time to visit Val
d'Isere, although a couple of the runs will be closed the rest of
the slopes will be empty as the majority of visitors will be
involved with the games. The nightlife, which is already world
famous will be extra special over these ten days with the local
bars and clubs putting on exclusive evenings for the
championships.
Skiing in Val d'Isere
One of the liveliest and best loved of the
French ski resorts,
Val d'Isere offers reliable snow, wide open spaces, infinitely
varied terrain - and great nightlife. From a small farming
village,
Val d'Isere has evolved into an exciting, modern ski resort without
losing any of its charm and atmosphere. Both on and off the
slopes Val d'Isere really does provide something for everyone.
Something for everyone
Starting on the nursery slopes in the middle of
the resort, beginners progress to easy runs in
breathtaking scenery above the tree line. Stronger
performers have the vast Espace Killy with its modern lift system
to explore, from the infamous bumps run on Solaise to the wide
open pistes of the glacier at Fornet. Off-piste enthusiasts
are spoiled for choice, and with one of Val d'Isere's many
off-piste specialist ski and snowboard schools you can combine
guiding and instruction at an affordable price.
Off the slopes
Back in the village there is an indoor swimming
pool, an outdoor ice rink, a gym and a cinema. Snowmobiling,
ice-driving and paragliding are all easily available.
Nightlife here starts early and finishes late with live music at
the popular Moris Pub or Warm Up Bar, and dancing till late at
Dick's Tea Bar.
