Val d’Isere – Best European Ski Resort

The winners of the British Travel Awards were announced last week at a glittering ceremony in front of thousands of industry guests. The Awards, often referred to as the “Oscars” of the travel industry, were created to acknowledge excellence in the field. And the winner of Best European Ski Resort is…Val d’Isere.

It’s no surprise that Val d’Isere, which has long been the preferred resort of British skiers, came out top in the public vote. And here’s for why. Val d’Isere is part of the Espace Killy, a vast ski area lift-linked to Tignes with an excellent snow record and served by one of the most modern lift networks in Europe. The resort itself is known for its luxury accommodation, gourmet restaurants (and here, and here, and here) and superb nightlife (and here, and here, and here), Val d’Isere has it all.

For the ultimate in luxury catered accommodation in Val d’Isere look no further than Le Chardon Mountain Lodges: a portfolio of five sumptuous ski-in ski-out chalets. The five chalets are located at the top of the Legettaz area of Val d’Isere, snuggled into the side of the Solaise Mountain with unbroken views up the Manchet Valley to the Vanoise National Park. Outstanding in terms of location and luxury, the five luxury chalets combine the warmth of honey coloured beams, traditional Savoyarde features and sumptuous furnishings for an enveloping sense of serenity. Each chalet has its very own handpicked and dedicated team to care for your every whim.

Val d’Isère is located at the extreme end of the Haute Tarentaise valley, 144km from Chambéry airport. Flying to Chambéry cuts your transfer time to Val d’Isere in half compared with flying to Geneva. Click to search for availability on flights to Chambéry.
