[@otvaldisere]

Wonderful! Thank you for this amazing video. So much beautiful shots of the village and the skia area. 👌

[@topsnowtravel]

Thank you, it is such a stunning village and ski area, we LOVE Val d'Isere!!!

[@ufukgoksu9851]

I believe it is one of the best ski resorts in the world.

[@topsnowtravel]

Definitely one of the best !

[@Dark-vg9nw]

@@topsnowtravel it’s not as well-known, but for sure it seems like one of the best!

[@topsnowtravel]

I highly recommend this ski resort 😃 👍

[@sandersson2813]

@@Dark-vg9nw Not well known? It's the archetypal ski resort cliché. It's one of the first names that would come up if you asked them to name a ski resort.

I gave it a thumbs up as it wasn't bad and covered the most basic features of Vald'Isere but ya missed what it's really all about; On a bluebird day shredding those beautiful off-piste Val d'Isere bowls with some gnarly lines through those remote, beautiful virgin bowls bombing down without a gaper in sight. Just rippin' the pow man, rippin' the pow man.

[@topsnowtravel]

Thanks for the feedback and for the thumbs up! You're absolutely right, there's so much more to Val d'Isère than just the basics. Those off-piste bowls and the powder runs are some of the highlights for sure. I’ll definitely keep that in mind for future videos when diving deeper into the adventure side of things. Hope to cover more of that in a full review soon. Keep shredding the pow!

Beautiful 🤩

[@topsnowtravel]

It is an amazing ski resort and village!

[@lofishorts8255]

This looks amazing !!

[@eipip1ez]

I go there every year for about three weeks. It's for skiers. Up at 6am....asleep by 10pm at the latest. 2 or 3 runs from top to bottom and your legs need the hot tub. insanely steep terrain in many places but lots of blue cruisers. No lift lines

[@topsnowtravel]

Nice!!! You have a nice routine, keep it up! No lift lines especially in January!! Enjoy 😃 👍

[@trekkingthailand2513]

I love trekking in the forest but I never do trekking in the snow. Thank you for your video. It touches me so much to do trekking in the snow. ( I will not do skiing, I can't be balanced)

[@topsnowtravel]

Snowshoeing is a great experience everybody should try at least once, after a little fresh dusting of snow on the trees, wow 🤩 🌲 ❄️

[@gillesputtemans]

Will you do a video on serre chevalier? Or Alpe d'Huez?

[@topsnowtravel]

Yes we will Gilles. We are filming in Alpe d'Huez next January so we will have a video out on our KZbin channel by the end of February 2022. Serre Chevalier will probably have to wait the following season. Stay tuned...

[@jasonkloszynski795]

So, if you are taking a family ski holiday in January (Australian summer holidays) with 2 adults (1 expert, 1 intermediate) and 2 kids (12 and 10yo intermediates) do you choose Val D'Isere/Tignes, La Plagne or La Rosiere and why?

[@topsnowtravel]

Hi Jason, It all depends on what criteria is most important according to you. If you want high standard accommodation and want a village with great atmosphere, choose Val d’Isère. If you still want a good standard accommodation but something more quiet and on a smaller budget, choose La Rosière. If you want convenience with lots of ski-in ski-out options and on a budget for price and standard, choose La Plagne. I would also recommend for families a pedestrian only villages where all accommodation is ski-in ski-out and with a beautiful ski area: Avoriaz 1800 Here are our guides to those ski resorts: www.topsnowtravel.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-val-d-isere/ www.topsnowtravel.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-la-rosiere/ www.topsnowtravel.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-la-plagne/ www.topsnowtravel.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-avoriaz-1800/ Hope that info helps 😊

[@JamesJam.]

Is this place good for skiing in late march early april??

[@topsnowtravel]

Yes , easily plenty of snow late March, early April. All the way until early May. I’ve had some of my best powder days there end of April

[@hannah-uy9bp]

Is this good for beginners or skiers who don’t have more than a week’s experience?

[@topsnowtravel]

The ski area has a huge beginner and intermediate slopes (green and blue runs) at the top of the mountains which you can easily get to from the village via gondola 🚠 (either Olympique or Solaise gondola) however to ski back to the village, the slopes are fairly steep (red runs) so more suited to intermediate level ability or advanced. You can however just catch the gondola down to avoid those red or black runs. For a better suited beginner ski resort with nice and easy green/blue runs that flow into the resort, you could try Avoriaz 1800: www.topsnowtravel.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-avoriaz-1800/ Or choose from our Top 20 Best ski resorts that suits your needs best: www.topsnowtravel.com/top-20-french-ski-resorts/

[@Dannyborchi]

Do not ski as avalanches kill.

[@topsnowtravel]

So does driving a car 🚗 as car crash 💥 accidents kill, so do not drive? 🤨🙄

[@saumadavid]

You want to party and spend thousand of dollars on champagne and other random stuff with swedish people from stockholm, all while skiing, then go here!

[@topsnowtravel]

Maybe 🤔 there’s a bit more to it 😂

[@J.Paul2023]

The problem is that there is no one there!! Why? they cant afford it. $500.00 per day. People are starving around the world!. Starving !! Crazy politics in USA says stay home and wait for the sky to fall!. Why don't you make a video asking the hotel association to max their high end rooms at $100.00?? They should not be charging more than $60 a night on average! And bring back $25 a day skiing! No fun to worry about money when you're skiing, no fun at all no matter how upbeat your music is! That glass of wine and burger at the top you're simply not enjoying!!....... At all! Don't promote these places till they lower their prices! Massive lay offs around the world, high unemployment make it impossible for people to think about skiing and that is why these ski towns are dead!!.

[@topsnowtravel]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and concerns. You’ve raised some important points about the affordability of skiing and the challenges faced by people worldwide. It’s true that the cost of ski holidays, including accommodation, lift tickets, and dining, can feel out of reach for many. These are valid concerns, and affordability is a topic that resonates with many in the travel and ski community. However, the pricing structures of hotels, ski resorts, and related businesses are influenced by a variety of factors, including operational costs, wages, and maintenance of facilities, especially in high-altitude locations. While $25-a-day skiing and $60-a-night rooms sound wonderful, it may not always be feasible for businesses to sustain such pricing while maintaining service quality. That said, many ski destinations are actively working to make skiing more accessible. For example, some resorts offer discounted passes for beginners, multi-day packages, or off-peak pricing. Exploring these options can help make skiing more affordable for a broader audience. Thank you again for sharing your perspective. Your passion for fairness and accessibility is clear, and it’s a reminder for all of us to think about how we can encourage more inclusive and sustainable travel experiences.

Usually, when someone says this, it is mostly because they are impressed but don't want to admit it. Just some peevish attitude.

@@sandersson2813 Of course they are. You do not have any in your Country. Val d'Isère is the largest and longest Ski resort in the world. This is mere useless jealousy from you. You have no cheese and no goodies such as what the French have

[@sandersson2813]

@@YgalSharon Ha ha ha. First of all you don't even know what my country is, secondly Val D'Isere isn't the biggest or longest resort in the world. French lift systems for example are decades behind those in Austria, French resorts are largely purpose built and ugly and many have insufferably long transfer times and terrible transport.
