Skiers only need to stroll about 400m from the hotel to reach Val d'Isère's three main high-speed lifts and access this fabulous ski area. The 10-person Solaise Gondola, complete with heated seats and Wi-Fi goes straight to the reshaped Solaise peak, in only seven minutes, from where a choice of lifts and runs fans out, including the connections across to the Le Fornet area and the superb snow of the Pissaillas Glacier. There are also some additional beginner slopes, for all ages, right at the top of the Solaise gondola and a stylish Day Lodge with café, bar, games area and kids corner, complete with sun terraces and a picnic area so everyone can enjoy the spectacular views.

All our holidays include return travel to resort either by flight or train and then the transfer between the airport or railway station and Val d'Isere.

All departures are on Saturdays with stays for 7 or 14 nights except our 8 night Eurostar train package which departs Saturday and returns a week late on the Sunday.

The transfer in Val d'Isere will stop as chose as possible to your chosen accommodation. In some cases there may be a 5 minutes' walk due to the location of the property not being accessible by coach.

Travel By Air

Flights to Chambery or Geneva from 13 UK airports

Transfer Times

  • Chambery airport: approx. 2 hours 15 mins by coach
  • Geneva airport: approx. 3 hours 15 mins by coach 

For customers who are booking a Gatwick flight, we highly recommend that you choose the morning flight for Val d'Isere due to the traffic light system in the Tarentaise Valley. This system controls and slows down the traffic, stopping traffic sitting in dangerous places, like tunnels, where rocks can fall and to make snow clearing easier when it is snowing. This can impact your transfer time, meaning you may arrive into resort later and leaving for the airport earlier. 

Transfers may be longer in peak holiday periods if there is heavy traffic or if there is bad weather conditions. 

Travel by Train (7 nights)

We have a 7 night train option to Val d'Isere
