Best time to ski in Val d'Isere

Due to its popularity, Val d’Isere ski resort can get busy during peak times – especially in February when the French flock to the Alps for their holidays – but there’s lots of space to spread out. Embrace the festive vibes at Christmas with fireworks, ice sculptures, and street parades. Or, to avoid the crowds and grab a bargain, book a Val d’Isere holiday mid-January. Hold out for a late-season trip in March and April for longer days, warm spring skiing, and après sundowners on the slopes.

Snow conditions in Val d’Isere

Most of the Val d’Isere ski slopes climb to above 2,300m, and some go as high as 3400m, making it one of the highest ski areas in France.

It really is one of the best snow-sure resorts in the Alps.
