General info: 

Val d’Isère has something for skiers and boarders of all levels. No, really. From Olympic and World Cup runs to a wealth of fantastic off-piste opportunities to several green runs high on the mountain, this world-class resort has earned its reputation as one of France’s top ski destinations. Freestylers can also get their kicks in the famous Oakley ValPark, which like the rest of the resort, offers something for green, blue, red, and black levels. Val d'Isere is linked to neighbouring Tignes; the two resorts combine to form the Espace Killy ski area.
