Val d'Isere reviews (Page 3)

Val d'isére is good! Awesome big with a lot of fall height, long well-prepared slopes and unlimited off-piste. There are varied rides for all directions. They have really managed to make the lift system efficient and it is connected in a fantastic way. The lift queues are rarely particularly long if you ignore the morning rush. The village is nice and has everything you could wish for. Swim or practice at Aquasportif after the ride.

Since, in principle, all rides occur above the tree boundary, it causes some weather sensitivity. Also count on high prices at most, even in the supermarket.

I go to Val d'Isere at least twice a year both for the first week of December, it's really cheap with Langley and because it's a great ride. The first week of December it is always a bit critical how much snow it is in 2008 it was really good with snow on the whole mountain but 2009 was less good. An advantage is also that there are smaller people there then. Most of them are the big English universities who have their annual skiing week starting 5 December.

Val d'Isere has everything you can wish for long slopes and it is easy to find pillows if you know what to look for. at the beginning of the week, the Fornet with the glacier is usually the best place to go on as there are not many who have found it. On the glacier in the Fornet you can always find cushions if you get up at the top of the chair and then end with the anchor lift. After the anchor lift, take left and left for about 2 minutes and then just follow the mountain down.

Grand Motte is the second glacier you can find cushions on, but it's harder often a lot of people but the best day to be there is Mondays when many do not go so high. Sometimes it is also worthwhile to try to get to the grand moths when there is bad weather, if you are lucky you will get above the clouds and can get a really beautiful ride almost completely.

Ask the hotel staff what it is best to go every day it usually looks where there are soft people and where it is smaller. One tip is not to eat your lunch in the middle of the hill, it is found good and much cheaper resturants to have lunch at the bottom of the back in the same house as the egglift.

Were there with UCPA and well run, the system has all kinds of skiing, good park and even border crossing. The lifts are really good and there were no queues to tell when I was there. There are all the difficulty levels and slopes and the system is well-known. The only downside is that some people do not read the signs and get into the slopes they can not handle, especially La Face, in the afternoon, because it's a sixty-nine's skating rink, if you want to go on these slopes, you should be out early.

It's quite expensive in the village, even in the grocery stores.
Go there!

A place with tradition and anore that works very well. Unfortunately, like Chamonix, it's hard competition for the powder. But the one who is up early will have plenty to choose from. I would probably recommend staying in Tignes instead, you get faster to the untouched ...

Was there New Year 2007-2008. It had not snowed so much as early as 15 years, so it was so great that the conditions were excellent. Good pistade backs, sunshine, opportunity for superb offpiste and a liftsystem in absolute top class, what more can you ask for around New Year? :)

All you can complain about is that the restaurants on the slopes were few and very expensive. Spaghetti Carbonara 150 kr ... A tip is Tignes, where you can easily reach the restaurants in the village with skis.

+ Good system that hangs together.
+ Excellent park for all levels.
+ Cozy city.
+ Afterski (Foulie Douce)

The ultimate ski resort in the Alps!

A badly good ski resort with regard to skiing, offpiste, park and après ski. It seems that the village is absolutely beautiful and you have everything you need. Big and good lift system so you can take you everywhere.

as bad people, as bad puder hysteria, as bad job .... but shady rush sometimes .... never want to go there anymore

Were in Val d'Isere week 11 2008 and stayed at Langley's Grand North. 3 awesome skiing days and 3 outskirts.

+
Large ski system that makes it rarely crowded in the slope
Dry, nice snow
Lifts system that rarely gets really long queues
Disneyby with quite a lot of action

-
Poor tinge of black and red backs
Almost just green and blue slopes
Annoying many beginners
Long walks from hotel to hill

I'm very good at making available offpiste directly from the elevator. (Impressed). In principle, you can follow the descriptions of the army on Freeride and have a map of pistons nearby, so you will get to where you want (do not rely on difficult degrees and distances)
and you should not obey that choice d has probably the most efficient lift system in the Alps, go with the Olympics before feeling a ..
It's as cool to go skiing like skiing.
The village and nightlife sucks .... it's like kissing on snow with sparse full fjortis and spies in the top.
The Matcho attitude is more apparent and it is easy to see that all packed scrapers are quay and unfortunately still cooler.
In reality, the choice d is a rather small elite that does not lie without being honored and warring so the chance of self-esteem is quite big.
I can recommend one visit and especially if you are a driven skier.
I base the army review in two months the season 06-07
then I worked as a chalet cook in the village.
