What's new on

The 18 km “Val Pesto” combines the 3 green VTTAE loops around the village, and allows you to discover the different hamlets of Val d’Isère: La Daille, Le Joseray, Le Laisinant, Le Fornet and the Vallée du Manchet. To combine sport and gourmet pleasure, opt for the Boucle Gourmande offer, with tasty breaks available in all 4 corners of the village: tasting local produce, savoury snacks, sweet treats, or a well-deserved aperitif.
