You then pass the Cret
hamlet on your left. This residential quarter of Val
d’Isère is a real architectural treasure,
home to a number of chalets each more beautiful than
its neighbour. Finally you cross the threshold of
Val d’Isère village along the main road.
Bus station, shops, restaurants, bars...All present
and correct...
Small village squares and fountains are dotted along
your way, simply to encourage your carefree wanderings.
Once in Val d’Isère, you may choose to
turn right. This choice will take you :
- Either to the "Centre
sport park" at the bottom of Solaise
and Bellevarde
- Or towards the old town and the pedestrianized Val
Village, where old houses, chalets and more recent
buildings encircle the church steeple. A sprinkling
of traditional balconies decorate the narrow streets
and epitomize the character of a carefully preserved
genuine alpine village.
- Or towards the “Rond Point des Pistes”
and the Joseray, Legettaz and Chatelard hamlets situated
at the gateway to the Manchet valley. This valley
may be reached on foot or by car. There
you'll find the "Manchet
sports park". The view is exceptional
and a peaceful atmosphere reigns over the entire valley.
- Or towards the residential Balme district at the
foot of Bellevarde
