A place where absurdity reaches Olympic levels, and skiing is just an excuse for a hedonistic orgy in a snowy paradise.
Slopes: as wide as an influencer's ego
If you think you've seen well-groomed slopes, Val d'Isère will make you feel like an amateur. The slopes are so wide, perfect, and smooth, they could easily serve as a runway for Russian oligarchs' private jets.
Aper ski... Imagine a nightclub at 2,400 meters, where champagne flows freely and the DJ looks like he's just dropped off at a party in Dubai. People dance on tables in their ski boots to live music. Every song ends with a blast worthy of the Eurovision Song Contest final. It's the only place where EVERYONE looks like it's the best day of their life.
In Val d'Isère, even the fast food tastes like the work of Michel Bras. The croissants are so buttery you could wax your skis with them, and the tartiflette has more cheese than the average French grocery store. At local restaurants, fondue costs the same as a small apartment in Lyon, but hey – at least they serve it in an atmosphere worthy of the Palace of Versailles.
Val d’Isère is a place where absurd luxury meets ski perfection. Is it worth it? Absolutely!
