Val d'Isere is one of the world's premier ski resorts. It is situated in the central French Alps close to the Italian border in the department of Savoie at the head of the Tarentaise Valley. Tignes, the other major ski resort in the area, which is of real interest to investors in French property, is located only a few minutes down the road from Val d'Isere, and both do join together to form the massive snowpark known as l'Espace Killy.
Val d'Isere is a regular on the annual World Cup Skiing circuit, the events being held on the Daille slopes as you enter the village. Snow generally lays in Val d'Isere between November and May, while snow on the summits of the mountains that surround Val d'Isere can sometimes last all year round.
French property in the village of Val d'Isere is highly coveted. The Cret hamlet, located just off the main village past the ice driving circuit, contains magnificent chalets with some breathtaking architecture. Val Village - the pedestrianised area of Val d'Isere - yields yet more exclusive Val d'Isere property, while small village squares surrounded by a mix of shops and chalets with balconies are dotted all over the village, giving Val d'Isere a magical winter wonderland feel.
Val d'Isere property is some of the most costly in France. A 4-bed chalet-style villa in France in the Cret area of Val d'Isere will cost in the region of 2,500,000 euros.
