The Upper Tarentaise is one of the most prestigious and expansive ski regions in the French Alps, known for its world-class resorts, high-altitude terrain, and extensive lift networks. Situated in the Savoie department, this area encompasses some of the most renowned ski destinations in the world, including **Val d’Isère, Tignes, Les Arcs, La Plagne, Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise, and La Rosière**, each offering a unique character and appeal. The region benefits from excellent snowfall due to its elevation and north-facing slopes, making it a reliable choice for skiers and snowboarders throughout the winter season. The variety of terrain, from gentle beginner slopes to challenging off-piste routes, caters to all levels, while modern lift infrastructure ensures seamless connectivity between vast ski domains.
One of the defining features of the Upper Tarentaise is the **diversity of ski areas** available. The **Espace Killy**, which includes Val d’Isère and Tignes, is a mecca for advanced skiers, boasting legendary runs such as La Face de Bellevarde, a challenging black run used in the Winter Olympics, as well as extensive off-piste opportunities. Meanwhile, the **Paradiski area**, covering Les Arcs and La Plagne, is one of the largest linked ski domains in the world, featuring a mix of tree-lined slopes, high-altitude glaciers, and family-friendly pistes. Further west, La Rosière is known for its unique cross-border skiing, allowing visitors to ski between France and Italy via the Espace San Bernardo. This resort offers a blend of sunny south-facing slopes and excellent snow conditions on the north-facing Italian side. **Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise**, in contrast, is a hidden gem, attracting off-piste enthusiasts seeking untouched powder, charming chalet-style architecture, and a more intimate atmosphere.
Beyond skiing, the Upper Tarentaise is rich in **alpine culture and mountain heritage**. Traditional Savoyard villages with wooden chalets and slate roofs contrast with purpose-built high-altitude resorts, offering a mix of authenticity and modern convenience. The region is known for its excellent cuisine, with an abundance of mountain restaurants serving hearty dishes such as **fondue, tartiflette, and raclette**, as well as fine dining experiences in Michelin-starred establishments. Après-ski is lively in resorts like Val d’Isère and Tignes, where bars and clubs create a buzzing nightlife scene, while quieter villages like Sainte-Foy or Villaroger offer a more relaxed, family-oriented atmosphere.
Thanks to its year-round appeal, the Upper Tarentaise is not just a winter destination. In the summer, the landscape transforms into a paradise for hiking, mountain biking, and road cycling, attracting outdoor enthusiasts keen to explore the alpine scenery. The area is also home to internationally renowned cycling routes, including the Col de l’Iseran, one of the highest paved roads in Europe. Activities such as paragliding, white-water rafting, and glacier skiing on the Grande Motte in Tignes ensure that visitors can enjoy the mountains in all seasons.
With its unparalleled skiing, varied resorts, rich cultural heritage, and year-round outdoor activities, the Upper Tarentaise remains a prime destination for those seeking both adventure and alpine charm. Whether you’re drawn to the challenging slopes of Val d’Isère, the vast terrain of Paradiski, or the hidden powder fields of Sainte-Foy, this region offers something for every mountain enthusiast.

The legendary ski area of Espace Killy has over 300kms of marked piste and endless off-piste options - some of the most varied and exciting skiing you can find! The ski area links the two resorts of Val d'Isere and Tignes.

The pretty old town of snow filled streets and Savoyard stone buildings is home to the original village church built in 1664. The resort centre is lively and vibrant, with shops, restaurants and bars to suit any budget and taste, lining the wide, spacious main-street.Every season, during summer and winter, Val d'Isere hosts all sorts of events - from Savoyard festivals or fayres show-casing local produce such as cheeses, cured meats or lace. International sporting events like the Tour de France and the World Ski Championships often stage an event here. Music festivals are often hosted during the summer and winter 2010 welcomes a stage of the World Snow Polo Masters Series!
The villages of Tignes are a little further down the valley towards Bourg St Maurice. Just like Val d'Isere, the ski area boasts wide, cruisey red runs, snow-parks for those who want to play and show off their tricks and quieter beginner areas where you can find your "skis" and build confidence - and of course immense off-piste itineraries, so much space you are bound to find untracked snow!The lively resort centre is a real haven for those looking for energetic après-ski and night-life - there are lots of bars, cafés, restaurants and night-clubs to entertain until the early hours. During the day-time there is an equal abundance of activity - the resort is just as regarded as a summer resort as it is a winter snow sports centre. You will find a superb 18-hole golf course, organised activities on the lake, skiing on the glacier, beach volleyball and football and the usual mountain biking, walking and horse-riding.
As one of the best known ski resorts in the world, Val d’Isere is a winter paradise. Linked with Tignes it makes the enormous ski area Espace Killy.
