Val d'Isère
Europe's readers' favourite — high, snowy and serious, with a fast-rising luxury tier.
Why it is here
Condé Nast Traveller readers voted Val d'Isère the best ski resort in Europe in 2025 with 99.17. Skiresort.info measures Tignes–Val d'Isère at 300 km of slopes, 80 lifts and a 1,906 m vertical up to 3,456 m, and lists it among its 2025 five-star resorts. Knight Frank records Val d'Isère prices up 7% to a prime band of €22,400–24,700 per square metre. It sits below Courchevel because the luxury layer is thinner.
Who it is for
Strong skiers who want altitude, snow security and off-piste with a lively village, and accept fewer palace hotels.
