Home to our flagship Neilson Hotel La Tovière, and now our 2 new properties - Hotel Ducs de Savoie and Hotel & Spa Le Savoie, Val d'Isère is just as good for those who love to ski hard and party hard as it is for those who like to take it easy. Forming one-half of the 300km, snowsure Val d'Isère - Tignes ski area, Val is world-famous for a reason and a definite must-do for your skiing bucket list.
With not just one but two glaciers in the area (Glacier du Pisaillas in Val and the Grande Motte in Tignes), you're guaranteed snow for your holiday.
Packed full of bars, restaurants and clubs including the infamous Folie Douce, you'll find plenty to keep you smiling on and off the slopes. The village itself is a mix of old and new with plenty of snowy streets and coffee shops.

Neilson Mountain Collection
Our hotels in Val d'Isère
Putting the spotlight on Val d'Isère and our great choice of stylish, family-friendly hotels. Snow-sure slopes. World-class après. Big mountain energy.
On the mountain
Set high up in the mountains and with fantastically varied terrain spanning 300km, most of Val d’Isère‘s lifts are long and rapid meaning you spend more time actually having fun rather than queuing up!
This is an intermediate and advanced-level paradise. There's a seemingly endless amount of runs and plenty of easily accessible off-piste so get ready to work those leg muscles! With two glaciers in the area (try doing both in a day), you're guaranteed snow so there's nothing to stop you from covering the miles.
The 10-person gondola from La Daille means access to the ski area from Neilson Hotel La Tovière is easy. With their super-central location in the heart of Val d'Isère, both Hotel & Spa Le Savoie and Hotel Ducs de Savoie give you direct access via the Olympique and Solaise Gondola's to the immense ski area of Val d'Isère and beyond.
