Adapted from The Snowboard Guide: Europe

Val d'Isere, one of Europe's best-known resorts, is part of the vast Espace Killy, which is renowned for its extensive and varied terrain and is linked by lifts to Tignes. All boarders will find something to relish: huge piste and off-piste areas, a well-kept half-pipe, and some of the liveliest nightlife in the Alps.

Val d'Ishre can usually be assured of having snow, as most of the slopes are north-facing and at high altitude.
