Good morning Val d’Isère Full sun public holiday day With maximum temperature of Plus nine.

Had to laugh Just read On the internet … that Val d’Isère is open for skiing……….. Not TECHNICALLY untrue…. If you can walk up You can ski down Or you can crosscountry ski around the town…
If it WAS true, I would be up there ! There is of course skiing in Tignes….. limited…. And not covered by the joint pass until the connections open…

So how expensive is skiing in France ? Apparently A lot cheaper than Austria Which is top of the Price Pops Followed by Italy and Switzerland.
This is According to the Ski Price Index Which calculates the average Nightly rental rate day pass price and Slope length
I am lazy So only ski in Val And feel that families Coming here Have to spend a lot So dread to think How much it is For a family of four During half term in Austria….
