Val d'Isere Lift System - Winter

Lift System & Status in Val d'Isere - Winter 
Val d'Isère, together with Tignes, makes up part of the Espace Killy region. Usually the Espace Killy lifts start to open on the last weekend in November. Normally only a few lifts are open for the first week, with progressively more lifts opening as snow permits. The Espace Killy has an excellent snow record; due to it's location against the peaks of the Italian border the Espace Killy tends to get a higher snow fall than in most other French resorts. Its location protects it from Southerly and Easterly winds, so the snow tends to arrive early, and lasts for a long time. There are discounted lift passes for the very start of the season - the snow condition may be unpredictable but you may find that you have the pistes to yourself, no lift queues and quiet restaurants. Spring skiing can be pleasant with warmer weather and more precipitation can mean more snow! The season usually ends towards the start of May.
Lift System in Val d'Isere
The lifts marked on the piste map using straight black lines are of four types; button tow/drag, chair, telecabine and telepherique. They have the corresponding abbreviations; TK for teleski (drag), TS for telesiege (chair), TC for telecabine (gondola) and TPH for telepherique (cable car). For telecabine think bubble car and for telepherique think cable car. Anything prefixed/suffixed with “Express” means a 6 person modern fast chair lift.
