Vacation Rentals in Val dIsere, France

When you visit Val-d'Isère, you'll want to stay in one of the many chalets or lodges in the center of town to have abundant access to the world-class skiing that the area's known for. That said, there are also additional accommodations in some of the small villages nearby like Le Crêt and Le Fornet, which are ideal if you're craving some solitude at altitude.

Val-d'Isère is home to a massive ski area, so snow sliding sports should be high on your list of activities while you're in town. As you might expect, the winter season offers the best snow conditions, but the snow never melts in the Alps near Val-d'Isère, so you can actually ski there year-round. You'll find both groomed slopes and backcountry skiing opportunities as well as challenging slopes perfect for advanced skiers and snowboarders at Pissaillas Glaciers. After a long day on the slopes, it's customary to stop by a local bar, grab a drink, and swap adventure stories with locals and visitors alike. If you don't want to ski or snowboard every day during your trip, other snow sliding activities include snowmobiling and getting pulled on a sled drawn by horses. Last but not least, take in the beauty of the area with a helicopter tour, or try a tandem paragliding flight if you're more adventurous.

In the heart of Val-d'Isère, you'll find the newly remodeled Museum of History and a cultural center with extensive exhibitions. If you're searching for more arts and culture, plan your trip during April when the city plays host to The Festival International du Film Aventure et Decouverte. The Festival L’Iserane — where world-class bikers ride down one of the highest mountain passes in Europe — happens in June, so consider visiting this dreamy vacation destination during that time if you're a cycling fan.

Val-d'Isère has a high alpine tundra climate, so the summers are cool and comfortable, allowing you to exercise and participate in outdoor activities without getting overheated. That said, the most popular time to visit Val-d'Isère is in the winter when the snow piles up and you can enjoy the top-notch skiing that the area is known for!
