Val d'Isere Mountain Restaurants

For such an upmarket resort, Val d'Isere has a great range of reasonably priced mountain restaurants. There are lots of big self-service options with vast terraces at the top of most of the major lifts which offer good value for money. However, there are also tucked-out-of-the-way smaller restaurants which offer a higher grade of cuisine and/or individual flair. The Peau de Vache halfway down The Face and the Empreinte by the Grand Pré chairlift are examples of the latter type of eaterie. See link to the mountain restaurants of Val d'Isere and Tignes in our 'Popular searches' above (for a more detailed selection of preferred on-mountain dining options). For a fondue there is l'Art des Mets. If you happen to be in the Le Fornet area we recommend both Le Signal and L'Edelweiss.

Val d'Isere Apres Ski

Val d'Isere leads the way in France as a rival to the party ski resorts of Austria and Switzerland. The creation of the hugely successful Folie Douce kicked the apres ski party scene off in Val d'Isere and more lately Cocorico's, at the base of the slopes returning from the Solaise Mountain, has taken on the batten. L'Etincelle which is not far from Cocorico's at resort level offers a more refined but no less popular brand of apres ski.
