Why this trip
In winter Val d'Isère stands for skiers, but between May and October the picture changes: the slopes are green, and the mountains belong to hikers. For families with children this is an opportunity, because the summer months are quieter, and the routes stay short because the village is compact. The village itself lies in the Espace Killy and is linked with Tignes. If you want to explore the area, you can start with the children on short hikes and pack a picnic.
In the afternoon there is time for a nap when the little ones are tired, or for a game on the village square. Nine properties are available; for families, choose family rooms that have enough space for four people. The neighbouring places Chamonix and Courchevel are suitable for a day trip if the school holidays last longer. Note that the altitude can also make children tired, so the first days should be quiet.
Whether you travel in summer or in the shoulder season is something you discuss in the video call, and the programme depends on your children's ages.
Getting there
The family travels from Zurich or Basel-Mulhouse, and Swiss Vibes plans connection times so that the children have breaks in between.
