VAL D'ISÈRE | 1790 - 3300 m               Espace Killy
In the Tarentaise, Val d'Isère shares Espace Killy with neighbouring Tignes. This area is justly known as the most beautiful skiing area in the world. The area marked out with banners and the off-piste area are immense and of a rare quality. With its natural environment and traditional architecture, Val d'Isère is also one of the most beautiful resorts in France. This is a resort of high standing with well-off customers (30% English). The sports and non-skiing activities are excellent, but often with prices to match. Val d'Isère ski resort special negotiated prices
