Over the years, Val d’Isère has evolved into a beautiful ski resort of international renown. Today, as you stroll through its narrow streets, you’ll discover, through its architecture, its museum and its stories, the history of an authentic village where the names of Killy, Bonnevie, Oreiller and Noël resonate…
It all began in 1889, when an officer of the Alpine hunters gave the parish priest the village’s first pair of skis. Who could have imagined that two boards would one day reveal the face of Bellevarde, Val d’Isère’s mythical mountain.
