In the year 1920, there was only a small village situated high up in a wide valley. Village life was governed by the rhythm of the seasons. Its inhabitants hibernated through the winter months, shrouded in snow for eight months of the year. Only the short summer months allowed them to work in the fields, produce cheeses and lace. This harsh life didn’t hold many prospectives and many of them left the village. Now, Val d’Isere is one of Europes most prestige ski resorts, boasting 99 lifts that cover over 300kms of marked trails and an enormous expanse of off-piste skiing.
