About Espace Killy

Espace Killy — named after triple Olympic gold medallist Jean-Claude Killy — links the legendary resorts of Val d'Isère and Tignes into a single 300km ski domain that reaches 3,456m on the Grande Motte glacier, making it one of the highest and most snow-reliable ski areas in Europe. The domain is a masterclass in alpine variety: Val d'Isère's famous Face de Bellevarde (the 1992 and 2009 World Championship downhill course) delivers some of the most challenging marked runs in France, while Tignes' higher altitude provides vast, open glacier skiing and a season that extends well into May. Between them, the linked area offers exceptional terrain for every level — beginners benefit from high-altitude nursery slopes where snow quality is guaranteed, intermediates have hundreds of kilometres of well-groomed cruising, and experts can explore extensive off-piste routes including the legendary couloirs of the Col Pers and Tour de Charvet. For US skiers planning a French Alps trip, Espace Killy justifies a full week: the combination of vertical range, snow certainty, terrain quality, and two distinct resort villages with excellent dining and accommodation puts it in the top tier of global ski destinations.
