When to go to Val-d'Isère?
The Pisaillas glacier keeps the skiing going into summer, and the Face de Bellevarde drops back to the village on a World Cup course. Old stone and timber survive around the church and out at the hamlet of La Daille, giving the resort a genuine village core. Lifts link it to Tignes across the Espace Killy, 300 km of pistes in all.
