Our luxury ski chalets in Val d'Isère are available catered and self-catered, for the best luxury ski holidays. Some chalets are ski-in/ski-out. Many have swimming pools, sauna, hammam and hot tubs. Val d'Isère, in the Savoie region of France, is the better-known part of Espace Killy, one of the best skiing destinations in the French Alps. The huge skiing domain - named for Olympic hero Jean-Claude Killy, who grew up in Val d'Isère - shares itself with purpose-built Tignes.

The charming village is a colorful winter sports heaven that began as a farm community in the years BC. It's 1,800 residents are outnumbered 15 to one by guests in winter. The western and central areas of Val d'Isère are most recognizable by their "chalet" architecture, while in the eastern part of the town high-rise architecture dominates the landscape.

There are both groomed slopes and backcountry (off-piste) skiing. The slopes' difficulty levels are particularly high. However, as in Tignes there are grand, easy pistes too. It is first class off piste country for powder addicts and there are many good guides available. The Pissaillas Glacier offers summer skiing, as well as the usual winter fare.
