Ski holidays in Val d'Isère

Val d'Isere has a wide range of restaurants for all tastes and budgets, whether you're feeling breakfast or dinner with a view. Across resort you'll find many restaurants that offer traditional French cuisine so there'll be plenty of opportunity to try out the local food. Why not treat yourself and eat in style at a Michelin star restaurant?   There are also Pizzerias, child friendly restaurants and many places serve dishes for different dietary requirements so there really is something for everyone.

It's true that Val d'Isere wouldn't be the resort it is today without a good dose of après ski to end your active day. If you're an après veteran it'll be no doubt you'll recognise this name - La Folie Douce - the biggest mountain club across the alps. What better way to party than dancing on the table in snow gear alongside your friends all whilst listening to a DJ and professional singers/dancers. The club is located half way down the OK piste on the way to La Daille, so there is still opportunities to ski or snowboard back to resort after a beer or two; but if you'd prefer to party a bit harder you can always take the gondola back down to the village. 

If you want to continue the party into the early hours of the morning you're in luck as Val d'Isere also has several bars and clubs that are open until late. Dick's Tea Bar is a great option for late night partying with great resident DJs as well as some surprise guest appearances. 

During Christmas week, there are a large variety of festivities for everyone in the family to enjoy. Giant snow sculptures and snow scenes will be found throughout the resort and a number of live shows will be played on stage at the 'Olympique Avenue'. On Christmas Eve, explore the slopes to find Father Christmas before he delivers his presents - this is a great opportunity to give him your Christmas list! In the evening, Father Christmas, his elves and giant toys will be arriving in the village and on Christmas Day, the French National Ski School Christmas show will celebrate with a torchlight descent in the evening. And finally, celebrate with the family on New Year's Eve watching the fireworks, the ski school freestyle show and torchlight descent down the mountain.

Val d'Isere is home to a diverse range of shops. It's no surprise that across resort you'll find high-spec sports shop selling ski and snowboarding equipment as well as some of the top sports clothing brands like Burton, The North Face and Salomon. Don't worry, Val d'Isere also has a range of high fashion shops for those of you looking to expand your everyday wardrobe, stretching as far as jewellery, beauty and perfume shops. Take a slice of France home with you thanks to the regional food and drink shops that are dotted around the village, selling local wines, cheeses, biscuits and sweet treats. You'll also find a range of gift and souvenir shops, so whether you want a little something for yourself, or need a present for a special occasion, Val d'Isere has you covered.
