NOT SKIING – NOT GREAT

Most people in Val d’Isère live to ski, so if you do not ski or board you will inevitably feel somewhat out of place. Activities for non-skiers are pretty much limited to walking or snowshoeing and there are many prettier resorts for keen winter walkers. There are a few agreeable cafes in which to while away the skiing hours, but a better option is perhaps to meet up with skiing friends for lunch either somewhere around the Front de Neige or at one of the mountain restaurants accessible to pedestrians. Another option might be to take the bus over to Tignes and meet your friends for lunch there.
