Val d'Isère

Val d'Isère is a high-altitude French Alpine resort at 1,850m in Savoie, linked with Tignes to form the 300km Espace Killy ski area. A committed winter-season resort with no motorhome overnight stays permitted in the village itself, so vans must base in car parks for day skiing or find space further down the valley.
