Val d'Isere

Val d'Isère, a resort in the Haute-Tarentaise area of Savoie, is best known for its winter ski area linked to Tignes, but it also offers a pleasant setting in summer. The summer season allows for cycling, hiking and summer tobogganing, all popular ways to explore the surrounding mountain scenery. Among the hiking routes, Lac de Sassière is a favoured destination, offering an unspoilt natural setting at the heart of the Vanoise massif. Yoga classes are also available locally, making the most of the calm found at altitude. After some exercise, the Hôtel Val d'Isère serves crêpes and hot chocolate that visitors particularly enjoy, in a welcoming atmosphere. The village, sitting at around 1,850 metres above sea level, retains its mountain character with traditional stone and timber chalets. Between hikes, outdoor activities and tasty breaks, Val d'Isère proves to be a well-rounded destination, suited both to nature lovers and to those seeking relaxation at altitude, whether in summer or winter.
