The must-haves of the ski area to do with children

Valkids spaces

To enable the little ones to fully appreciate their first turns on the snow, Val d’Isère offers a dedicated children’s area on the heights of Solaise: the ValKids areas.

The ValKids play trail and play area continue to grow. Children will find an igloo, fixed binoculars freely available for observing the mountain, a mini-tyrolean traverse to have fun on the heights of Solaise and numerous modules installed on fun trails to learn while having fun! View the trail here on the map.

Ski Tranquille Solaise and Bellevarde sectors.

The Ski Tranquille concept in Val d’Isère allows skiers to enjoy the slopes at their own pace, in a calm and safe environment. Gentle itineraries, marked with a specific logo, are available in the Solaise and Bellevarde sectors, ideal for beginners, families or contemplative skiers. Thanks to the Val d’Isère Ski app, you can follow these geolocated routes with all the practical information you need. The perfect way to enjoy the mountains with complete peace of mind.

  • Chocolat ChocoFolie: a chocolate experience, with the creation of personalised chocolate bars, hot chocolates, etc.
  • Music FirstTrack: children become apprentice DJs and compose their own music
  • StudioFolie fashion studio: immerse yourself in the world of fashion by customising an accessory and taking part in a fashion shoot.

Price €42 – 1h30 workshop – maximum 12 people per workshop – 3 times a day

The lammergeier fun trail!

One of Val d’Isère’s strongest symbols, the lammergeier, has been given a playful trail on Bellevarde. Throughout the descent, you’ll discover a scenography based on local fauna and natural materials, in the tradition of the Lost Village, with the strong meaning of a bird of standing from the Vanoise National Park. Inspired by land art, the overall universe is broken down into different modules, including: a ski tunnel dressed as a lammergeyer, a strong and significant entrance arch, a giant feather that can be activated as a xylophone, and an arch with a tapping game. View the trail here on the map.

P'tit cross

To perfect your skiing technique, head for the Solaise massif where the junior ‘P’tit cross’ is located. On this slope, a number of fun exercises will take shape as you descend. View the piste here on the map.

The lost village Fun and unusual

Don’t forget to make a diversion to the Lost Village! A free outdoor play and relaxation area, situated at an altitude of 2000m, in the heart of the larch trees of the Etroits forest. Children can walk on suspended footbridges and enter an eagle’s nest. Accessible on skis, this superb area is a delight for young and old alike!

Please note that this run is ungroomed and requires a good level of skiing. We’ll leave you to explore the side of La Daille to find this beautiful little “lost” village.
