Le Cret is a small traditional hamlet of Val d'Isere nestled into the hillside, surrounded by beautiful mountains and offering excellent views over Val d'Isere. Old converted farmhouses that have been restored to an excellent condition make up this small part of Val d'Isere.
Located right next to the town centre and a stone's throw from La Daille, Le Cret has a calmer and quieter feel than the other hamlets and centre of Val d'Isere. It is an excellent place to stay as the beautifully converted farmhouses provide luxury accommodation, and with walking distance to the centre of Val d'Isere you can wander the high street enjoying the many boutique and sport shops, local restaurants and warming bars.
For restaurants and bars it is best to pop into the centre of Val d'Isere as this little hamlet is mainly residential and quiet but, with such a short walk or bus ride into town you can dine and dance the night away.

When the winter season closes and summer rolls around, the mountains change from a white haven to a lush green, with beautiful trees, flowers and wildlife. The usually sunny weather means there is plenty to do with lots of summer activities available. Le Cret in the summer is a lot quieter with many of the chalets closing their doors for the summer season, however, there are a few that remain open and they can be the perfect spot for a quiet family or group holiday. You can enjoy the Hiking and walking, the Mountain biking and the quiet village feel that the Val d'Isere centre has in the summer.
