This typical Haute-Tarentaise resort is open all year round and shares 10,000 hectares with its neighbor Tignes accessible to all to discover the joys of skiing. The ski area includes 300 km of snowy slopes up to 3400 m above sea level. The Val d'Isère - Tignes area has 161 slopes (21 green, 69 blue, 44 red, 25 black and 2 snowparks) and 75 ski lifts. It is also an exceptional off-road area: the Tour and the Shoulder of Charvet, the Forêt de la Daille, Cugnai, the Danaides or even the Lost Valley with a feeling of “end of the world”.
