PRM access (Persons with Reduced Mobility) refers to facilities that enable people with disabilities or limited mobility to move around easily and safely. This includes access ramps, elevators, designated parking spaces, and accessible restrooms.

What is PRM accommodation?

A PRM accommodation is a lodging designed or adapted to be accessible to people with disabilities. In Val d’Isère, several hotels, residences, and chalets offer adapted facilities, such as step-free entrances, accessible bathrooms, and elevators.

How to raise children's awareness of adaptive sports?

Raising children’s awareness of adaptive sports starts with discovery and practice! Attending adaptive sports competitions and meeting athletes are excellent ways to spark their curiosity and empathy.

What are the accessibility standards for people with disabilities?

Accessibility standards in France apply to public buildings, accommodations, transportation, and tourist infrastructures. They ensure easy access with ramps, elevators, specific equipment, and appropriate signage. In Val d’Isère, we are committed to offering an inclusive environment with facilities adapted to different types of disabilities (mobility, sensory impairments, cognitive disorders, etc.).

Where to go on vacation when you have a disability?

Many destinations in France and abroad are accessible to people with disabilities. For an accessible mountain getaway, Val d’Isère is an ideal destination! In both winter and summer, the resort offers adapted infrastructures, inclusive activities, and personalized services to ensure an unforgettable stay.

Why choose Val d'Isère for an accessible winter stay?

Val d’Isère is a resort certified for its commitment to accessibility. In winter, snow sports enthusiasts can enjoy handiski, with specialized instructors and adapted equipment. The facilities, such as ski lifts and public spaces, are designed to be accessible for people with reduced mobility. In addition to skiing, the resort offers a variety of activities, such as sit-skiing tours, dog sledding, and easy access to festive events.

Why choose Val d'Isère for an accessible summer getaway?

In the summer, Val d’Isère transforms into a large playground for everyone, with accessible hiking trails, handisport activities (adapted mountain biking, paragliding, etc.), and a village accessible to all. Additionally, the resort offers PMR-friendly accommodations and restaurants, ensuring a comfortable stay in the heart of the mountains.

Guide Accessibility in Val d'Isère

This guide brings together information provided by partner establishments of the Tourist Office regarding accessible venues and services for people with disabilities in Val d’Isère.
Its purpose is to help you make the most of your stay and enjoy the activities available throughout the village and resort. However, this guide does not replace prior preparation or on-site planning based on your specific needs.
The Tourist Office strives to keep this information up to date, although its accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Our team remains at your disposal to assist you with any enquiries.

Getting around the village
Some activities or facilities may be more easily accessible with assistance, particularly due to narrow passages, uneven pavements or level differences. The destination teams are continuously working to improve accessibility and comfort for all. Construction works are currently underway in the village centre (2025–2026), which should help improve access to certain shops and facilities.

Regional Commitment H+

As part of its ongoing commitment to accessibility, Val d’Isère joined the voluntary regional initiative “H+” on June 18, 2025.
This program guides us in developing a progressive action plan to create new inclusive and disability-friendly services while promoting them across the resort. It also involves close collaboration with local stakeholders, supported by the regional authorities.
