Val d'Isere is located on the "Grandes Alpes" route, halfway from Menthon and Thonon les Bains, so the village is the perfect place for a few hours or a few days rest. Coming from the Col de l'Iseran, Val d'Isere is only 15km away.

From high peaks to large valleys, from the eternal snows to beaches in the South of France, the "Grandes Alpes" route is an amazing journey.
The road was created by the "French Touring Club" in 1909. The French President Albert Lebrun inaugurated it in 1937.

Today, this road is well known world wide by the lovers of the French Alps.
