    Sitzmark is going on a Ski trip to the French Alps at Val d'Isere/Tinges - .   We have space for 30 people.  Sign up Now and reserve your spot for this Fabulous trip January 31 - February 8, 2025. 

    The Double Occupancy price is $3,050 (Standard room-215 sq ft) or $3,250 (Superior room-270  Sqr ft).(Note, there are limited Superior rooms available, so sign up early).  Rates include airfare and ground transportation.  We are also offering an optional three day  extension to Lisbon, Portugal February 8-11 at  price of $450 DO.


    Val d’Isère and Tinges are interconected  ski resorts in the French Alps, near the Italian border. They are part of the Espace Killy ski area. Here, ski lifts give access to sites like the steep Face de Bellevarde, a black-rated piste, and the Grande Motte glacier, known for summer ski runs. The Col de l’Iseran mountain pass is a popular cycle route in summer. In town, bars and restaurants cluster around Avenue Olympique

      With its vast network of slopes, unparalleled snow record and vibrant village atmosphere, Val d’Isère/Tinges are one of the true giants of world skiing.

       

      The Espace Killy ski area, which Val d’Isère shares with neighboring Tignes, has lots to offer all levels of skier and boarder but is best suited to experts and advanced intermediates, with some of the greatest lift-served off-piste in the Alps. 

      Val d’Isère and Tinges are large ski resorts spread along a high remote valley, which becomes a dead end in winter with the seasonal closure of the Col d’Iséran.

      The resort has several distinct villages, with the purpose-built satellite of La Daille at the lower end of the valley and the rustic hamlet of Le Fornet at the other, both of which have their own access into the ski area.

      In between, the main resort of Val d’Isère is quite a hotchpotch of architectural styles but is a vibrant place to stay, with an attractive old village where you will find many restored farm buildings and a 17th century baroque church.


      Val d’Isère has a good choice of mountain restaurants spread across its ski area although they do get busy and you are strongly advised to reserve in advance.

      Val d’Isère has plenty to offer non-skiers including a sports center with two swimming pools, an ice-skating rink and numerous winter activities including ice-driving, snow-shoeing and dog-sledding.  The village is also much more animated than most high-altitude French resorts with lots of enticing shops, cafés, bars and restaurants.


      Val d’Isère is one of the liveliest ski resorts in France with a wide range of après-ski options.


      Perhaps the most famous of all is the Folie Douce at the top of the La Daille gondola, which hosts lively (often raucous) parties from 3-5pm daily with live bands, DJs and cabaret. Coroico, at the bottom of Solaise, is a rival for late afternoon frivolities and almost as lively.

      Price includes round trip airfare, ground transportation, lodging, daily breakfast and 4 evening meals - details are:

      -Transfers between Airport and Val d'Isere via private coach with English Speaking assistant.

      -Welcome drink and orientation upon arrival with local guide.

      -7 nights accommodations at the 3 Star Hotel Kandahar ( www.Hotel-Handahbar.com)

      -Full Hot and Cold breakfast buffet daily

      -3 course dinner daily for 4 evenings. (Gives you three days on your own in Val d'Isere to experience local French cuisine)

      -Transfer between  Hotel and Airport . (Feb 08)
