Val d'Isère centre
The beautiful village centre with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains
Val d'Isère centre is an array of lovely shops, restaurants, chalets, hotels and apartments. This bustling village centre is nestled into the valley, complete with classic chalet-style hotels and buildings constructed with stone and wood giving the centre a traditional and warm feel.
The centre is where the heart of the resort lies and it's easy to see why it remains a popular destination for many.
History & Culture in Val d’Isere
In the centre of Val d'Isère there is culture and history on display. Unlike the hamlets which have developed and grown with the popularity of the resort and are relatively modern, the centre and the old town has been around for many years.
Notably the church is one of the oldest buildings in Val d'Isère, built in 1664 and named after Saint Bernard of Menthon, the patron saint of mountain dwellers. One of the few churches that wasn't destroyed by the French revolutionaries, it still stands today in the heart of the ‘old town’ as a testament to years gone-by, regarded by many as a symbol of the strength and soul of the village.
For a little bit of culture you can head to the Jane Griffiths art gallery where you can browse her work and even purchase a piece.
Events in Val d’Isere
Val d'Isère plays host to a number of winter and summer events, notably the Frostgun freestyle skiing competition and occasionally the Tour de France.
Things to do in Val d’Isere

The summer welcomes beautiful sunshine, green trees and plenty to do. Mountain biking is a popular activity in the summer with lift access from Val to Tignes allowing you access to the various trails and routes the mountain has to offer.

Plenty of summer activities are perfect for families and groups; you can even jump in the car and drive over to Tignes to indulge in a spot of summer skiing on the glacier.
The centre of Val is much quieter in the summer but it still has a lot to offer. The sports centre is open all year round so there is access to the swimming pool and gym, as well as some of the sports shops and restaurants on the high street opening their doors.
