Lifts
Being at a high altitude, Val D’Isere is one of the most snow sure resorts in the Alps. You can purchase a pre-season lift pass at a reduced rate. This is available from 28th November to 18th December. These dates are obviously dependent on the first snowfall.
You can buy a full area lift pass from the 18th December all the way up to 2nd May

Parking
Val D’Isere was set to become a car free resort by 2010, so with this in mind, it is going to be increasingly difficult to park in resort. The police municipal are already very hot on issuing tickets to cars for unauthorised parking!
Please call to reserve your space in town for 20 Euros a day or 70-80 Euros per week.
