Summer skiing

Summer skiing 2026: from June 13 to July 12 ⛷️*

*Subject to snow conditions and the opening of the mountain pass road.

The geographical location of Val d’Isère offers us good snow quality, if all conditions allow, we strap on the skis under the summer sun and we’ll race down the slopes of the glacier!

Skiing in June on the glacier

During June, cyclists, motorcyclists, car drivers and skiers will be able to reach the Col de l’Iseran from Val d’Isère, the only access to the Pisaillas glacier where summer skiing has been practiced since the late 1960s. The road on the Bonneval-sur-Arc side is also open to allow you to go for a ride on the Maurienne side.

At the Pisaillas Glacier, skiing takes place between 2,725 m and 3,197 m altitude. The parking area at the foot of the glacier is accessible via the Col de l’Iseran road. There, you will find the Cascade Restaurant as well as the ski pass sales point located at the base of the Cascade chairlift. Higher up on the glacier, the Montets drag lifts lead skiers to the highest point of the ski area.

⚠️ Warning, this information is subject to change depending on snow conditions.

A piece of history

July 1937, route 202, the highest in Europe linking Val d’Isère and Bonneval-sur-Arc via the Col de l’Iseran, is inaugurated by the president of the republic Albert Lebrun. On this occasion, the Avalins organized the first summer skiing competition in Europe on the Pisaillas glacier. The skiers of the French team and some internationals take off from the top of the Montet peak for the Grand Prix de l’Iseran.

Summer 1963, the road between the Col de l’Iseran and the foot of the Pisaillas glacier is developed to facilitate access to summer skiing.

Summer 1966, the Grand Prix de l’Iseran organized on the glacier of Val d’Isère brings together the teams of the Alpine arc. The Pisaillas is then equipped with a chairlift and three lifts. Young international skiers come to train in Val d’Isère.
