Val d'Isere is located in the Espace Killy ski network at 1,850 metres above sea level. It is a town that has kept its chalet charm, whilst ensuring the town centre is vibrant, chic, and the place to be seen. Being the latter, it isn't cheap but then its locals and visitors might suggest that's a positive characteristic as it keeps the undesirables out!
On the slopes Val d'Isere and the Espace Killy are quite rightly world renown for being some of the best skiing in Europe and probably the world, and hence why when someone asks for the top 5 luxury ski resorts in Europe, its not just the chic party set that vote for Val d'Isere, but the hardcore ski enthusiasts too (particularly the well heeled clientele who also know how to have a good time).
But it isn't just the fantastic, extensive skiing, or the great restaurants, chic bars, and sophisticated nightlife that makes this one of the stand out luxury ski resorts, it is in our opinion Val d'Isere's luxury catered chalets! Here they are are a star or two above, nearly all built in traditional stone and wood, and inside a treasure trove of luxury and style.
