Whether you are heading to the high-altitude peaks of Val d’isère our dedicated service ensures your journey is as breathtaking as the destination itself
Val d’Isère is widely regarded as one of the premier ski resorts in the world. Nestled at an altitude of 1850m, it combines traditional Savoyard charm—characterized by stone and wood chalets—with a high-energy, international atmosphere. Historically a small farming village, it has transformed into a sports powerhouse. The resort is famous for the Face de Bellevarde Olympic run and its vibrant après-ski scene, including the world-renowned La Folie Douce.
Located in the Tarentaise Valley in the Savoie department of the French Alps, Val d’Isère sits near the Italian border. It is part of the vast Tignes-Val d’Isère ski area (formerly Espace Killy). The resort is surrounded by soaring peaks and is approximately 226km from Grenoble, making it a scenic and deep-mountain retreat.
For those traveling by road, the resort is accessed via the A43 motorway to Albertville, followed by the N90 to Moutiers, and finally the climb up the D902. If you are arriving by rail, the nearest train station is Bourg-Saint-Maurice, located at the foot of the mountain about 40 minutes away, which is served by high-speed TGV and Eurostar services during the winter.
