The
Valdinet.Com Val d'Isere Snow Report
| ... (& Rock Report in the summer!) |
Our snow reports (and the summer updates) are your guide to the resort's pistes and activities, mixed in with news, views and gossip from around the slopes. We aim to offer more than just stats about snow depths, and we always give you an honest and frank account of what the snow is really like. We want to give you the best information to help you make decisions as to when and where to ski. We try and keep the reports coming regularly, especially when the snow is falling; but even when conditions aren't great we'll give you plenty of ideas and insiders' tips on where to go and how amuse yourself on the slopes. If you have any feedback on the reports please let us know.
Don't forget to check out our Video Snow Reports so you can see the conditions for yourselves!

What a wonderful winter!
The season in Val d’Isere has finally come to a close. Too soon for some of us, and not fast enough for the mountain bikers!
The winter ended with the infamous ‘Last Funi’, this is mostly a fun day for all the seasonaires left in resort, but anyone can join in. This year saw paddling pools, pallets and inflatable cows take to the OK-Orange. My friends and I chose the option of a paddling pool which was amazingly good fun but burst very quickly. The highlight of the run was two guys taking off on their inflatable boat and it bursting as they landed on top of it.
This season had been a fantastic combination of snow and sunshine. We have had some fantastic days in all kinds of conditions from complete white-outs to blistering sunshine. Some of my favourite days have been snowy days riding with friends when you can’t see a thing, due to good company and great snow. The end of the winter saw the sun come out and some fantastic blue sky powder days.
In true Val d’Isere style, the heavens opened and we had some amazing winter powder on the last day making sledging down a wonderful experience. At the top of the mountain the fresh snow was fantastic although the visibility was horrendous. Over in Tignes it was a similar story.
In Tignes, the slopes down in Les Brevieres and the lower Tignes Le Lac are closed, but the top of the mountain is still open and the snow is amazing. I drove round this morning to find fresh powder at the top of the Grand Motte.
The snow park in Tignes is still open, as is the half-pipe which is looking amazing after being re-shaped. This is one of the better places to play at the moment with the spring snow that is everywhere right now.
Tignes is closing on Sunday but will be opening again soon for summer skiing on the Grande Motte. Mountain biking is going to be the next big thing over there with the snow rapidly vanishing from the lower slopes.
This season has been fantastic all over Espace Killy and I cannot wait till next winter! I hope you have had as much fun on the slopes as me!

We will be keeping this Val d'Isere snow report updated two to three times a week during the winter season, and weekly during the summer. If you want even more up-to-date news on the ski conditions, check out our video snow reports or why not sign up for our Dump Alert? We'll email you each time it snows enough to significantly change the skiing conditions. It's great to know that the snow is falling in the run-up to your holiday, and it might even allow you to book a last-minute weekend when the snow is particularly good. The service is free, and you can unsubscribe whenever you like.
