Ski pass prices in Val d'Isere

You can buy your lift pass online (see button below) and have it delivered to your home, or you can collect it from one of the ski pass offices in resort.

You can also buy your pass at any of the ski pass offices, but to get the best price we recommend you buy online at least three days in advance.

On top of the lift pass price, you’ll be asked to pay €2 for a hands-free card to use on the turnstiles. This goes for everyone, including children under eight (who go free on the lifts).

Hang on to your card at the end of your holiday. You’ll be able to use it on future trips to Val d'Isère.

Don't forget to bring a copy of your receipt on holiday. If you lose your lift pass on the mountain, you'll need the receipt to get a replacement.

The Val d'Isère ski season runs 30 November 2024 to 4 May 2025. The Tignes season opens one week earlier on 23 November 2024, but has the same closing date.

Early or late season skiing

Ski pass prices are usually cheaper at the beginning and the end of the season, when not all of the lifts may be open. 

If you're considering coming then, it's a good idea to keep an eye on our Val d'Isere snow forecast for an up-to-date view of local conditions.

There are two ski pass areas: Val d'Isère is the smaller area, with Tignes-Val d'Isère the bigger domain.

If you want an access-all-areas pass

The Tignes-Val d'Isère pass will grant you access to 10,000 hectares of terrain, more than 300km of piste and 153 runs between an altitude of 1,550m and 3,456m. There are 75 ski lifts at your disposal as well as two snowparks and two glaciers.

Tignes-Val d'Isère passes are valid for half-day to 15-days or for the whole season. 

The benefits really start kicking in when you stay a bit longer:

• two free entries to the Val d'Isère Oxygene swimming pool on passes six to 11 days
• four free entries to the Val d'Isère Oxygene swimming pool on passes of 12 to 15 days
• on six day passes you'll get: one day's free ski day, preferential rate to ski La Rosière, free entry to the Lounge and free Val d'Isère wifi

If you prefer it quieter

The local area pass enables you to ski on the Solaise, Bellevarde, Le Fornet and la Daille areas on the Val d’Isère side of the valley. You can go as far over as the legendary après-ski hot spot of La Folie Douce but you cannot take the Tommeuses chairlift which links Val d'Isère and Tignes. Instead, you will need to take the Mont Blanc chairlift back up above the Val Snow Park or drop down the pistes to La Daille.

These are our top tips for saving money on your ski pass:

• come early or late in the season
• buy a family pass
• buy group tickets
• book early
• buy multiple days - you’ll get a much better day rate
• choose a local area pass over the Tignes-Val d'Isère pass

You heard it right, you can ski for free in Val d'Isère... but only if you're under eight years old or over 75. Proof of age required at the moment of purchase. Available for passes from 1 to 15 days.

The Savonnette and Village lifts are free to use, which are ideal for beginners taking their first steps on skis.

The cross-country skiing routes are free to use, and there are plenty of them in the area to keep you entertained. You can hire equipment from most ski rental shops in town.

Whether you want to go snow-shoeing, watch the kids' first ski lesson or join friends at a mountain restaurant, a pedestrian pass lets you go up without skis or a snowboard. 

If you're under 8 or over 75, you won't need a pedestrian pass to go up on foot.

There are 11 lifts that pedestrians can use in winter, namely the Solaise, Olympique and Fornet cable cars, the La Daille and Le Vallon gondolas, the Funival, Cascade, Céma and the Bellevarde chairlifts, as well as the Pim Pam and Poum magic carpets.

Pedestrian rates are available for single and return journeys on these lifts, and there are also one and six-day pedestrian passes on offer, as well as a season pass, should you want to ride the lifts more frequently. Pedestrian tickets can only be bought at one of the ski pass offices in resort.

If you're planning to spend more than a couple of weeks in Val d'Isère this winter, you've got a few options to save money on your lift journeys. 

Season pass benefits:

• two bonus days at Sainte Foy Tarentaise
• two days preferential rate at Espace San Bernardo La Rosière
• six free pool entries

The prices on this page do not include insurance.

You’ll be given the option to add ski insurance when you buy your ski pass. This is provided by Assur'Glisse and normally costs a few euros a day. 

You don’t have to buy insurance from the lift company, but we can’t stress how important it is to have a snow sports policy in place before you come skiing or snowboarding in Val d'Isère.  

Hopefully you’ll never have an accident. But if you have to be helicoptered off the mountain, or spend any time in hospital in France, you could end up with a huge bill.
