Val d'Isere, France
Great mountain, expensive town. Overall, Val d'Isere has something for everyone. There's varying terrain for all abilities, some great off-piste and a good snow record but be ready to pay for it. They take card and cash, don't you worry.
Freeriding: 80% - Some tree runs & good off-piste
Freestyle: 70% - Park & Pipe
Pistes: 80% - Plenty of good wide slopes
