February ski deals Val d'Isere
February is one of the best months to ski Val d’Isere. The snow conditions are usually excellent, with good depths of fresh snow and temperatures increase progressively throughout the month, allowing you to really make the most of the vast Espace Killy.
Val is particularly popular with us Brits, so you can expect it to be pretty heaving over February half-term, like all the biggest and best resorts in the Alps. We love the buzz during this week, but if you’re flexible with your dates, you can enjoy some great value for money skiing outside half term week.

Historically, there’s an average snow depth of 183cm at the top of the slopes (123cm at the bottom) and temperatures tend to hover around 2 degrees. At the beginning of the month, it’s likely to be quite cold, so make sure the thermals make it into your suitcase! If conditions are particularly windy, there’s quite of lot of sheltered terrain below the tree line, like the runs at Fornet or La Daille.

Val d’Isere is an expert’s paradise with plenty of challenging runs such like the Face at Bellaverde. Face is really popular, so try and ski it first thing when it’s lovely and groomed. There’s a vast amount of off-piste terrain to discover at Val d’Isere and with some falls of fresh powder likely, February’s a fantastic time to sample the backcountry here. Intermediates are equally well catered for - watch out for runs that are under classified, like the “blue” Santons run back down to the resort, which is really a red run on most days and a black run in bad conditions. The blues in the Solaise sector are ideal for building confidence. If you’d like an insight into what it’s like to be a competitive skier, check out the OK piste, which is used for the World Cup downhill– when groomed, it’s a great cruising run down the mountain. For beginners, there are some gentle greens like the Madeleine or those at the Solaise. If you’re coming here in February half-term with kids who are absolute beginners, there are loads of ski schools to choose from including British ski schools like New Generation, Progression and TDC ski - be sure to book ahead as group lessons fill up quickly for half term!
