Forecast today: Clear skies
Ski Club Experiences (previously Instructor-led Guiding, ILG) are no longer being offered by the Club. You are invited to ski with the Club via our group in Val d’Isere, with details available via our Facebook group here.
One of the special things about Val is that being at the head of the valley in the high mountain, means you cannot see the valleys and the cities below, everywhere you go you experience stunning mountain scenery surrounded by the peaks of Mont Blanc, the Grand Caisse, the Tsantaleina and Mont Pourri. You feel you are in the mountains. This is for everyone in Val d’Isere.
Val has some of the best advanced and expert skiing in the world, especially after fresh snow when the off piste terrain comes into its own. Just make sure you’re up early to get fresh tracks… Despite Val’s reputation for challenging skiing, there is some really good terrain for beginners and intermediates, most of which is very snowsure and lies well above 2000m.
There may be better places for steep pistes – although the Face de Bellevarde, the OK racetrack and the Sache over in Tignes are definitely good challenges – but few can rival the off piste terrain that Val d’Isère has to offer.
With so many options to choose from, the best way is to explore the resort is by linking up with fellow members – many of whom are seasonnaires – via the Ski Club’s Val d’Isère Facebook Page.
Opening and closing dates are subject to snow cover
Updated for 2024/25
Day and half-day passes are available for Val d’Isere only – anything more than this will cover the entire Espace Tignes-Val d’Isere. All ski passes of six or more days include an extra day for free, as well as unlimited access to the Aquasportif swimming pool. Skiing is free for those under the age of eight or older than 75 – stop by the lift pass office to collect your free pass!
A reduced rate is available for skiing from season opening until 20 December 2024.
Don’t forget your Ski Club membership card – you can load your ski passes onto it either online or at the lift pass office

The Ski Club uses third party independent assessments and accreditation of ski resorts to determine a resort “environmentally sustainable” – more information can be found here.
As part of the French Flocon Vert (tr. Green Snowflake) scheme, Val d’Isere has been awarded one snowflake out of a possible three, representing significant investment in resources to reduce its environmental impact. Flocon Vert is an independent scheme operated by Mountain Riders, which accredits resorts in France who have met twenty criteria based on environmental, social and economic sustainability.

After the excellent snowfall at the start of this week, things settle down across the region for the remainder of this week. High pressure dominates throughout, meaning fine, dry and bright conditions are in store for Christmas Day and right the way through to the end of the weekend.
Temperatures will re cool, with a freezing line hovering around 1,500m overnight and spiking up to 2,000m during the midday sun – that means highs of 1-3°C can be expected at 2,000m.
Otherwise, things are holding steady with some excellent skiing conditions coming up.
The Ski Club office is closed on Friday 28 December – there will be no overviews published on this date, returning Tuesday 31 December. The Ski Club wishes you a Merry Christmas!
