Val d’Isère is undisputedly one of the world’s greatest ski resorts, and for a sizeable proportion of skiers and boarders it’s THE best. But how does a first-time visitor to this French classic and its huge Espace Killy ski area make the most of their holiday there ?
The answer is to plan your trip with the company that have built a reputation as THE Val d’Isère experts over almost two decades, and are currently a finalist in the Best Ski Travel Agent category of the 2015 World Ski Awards – Simply Val d’Isère.
The company were also shortlisted for Best UK Specialist Travel Agent at the World Ski & Snowboard Awards in two successive years and offer the widest selection of accommodation in the resort that you will find anywhere, and for all budgets. They are run by a dedicated team of Val d’Isère aficionados who have lived and worked in the resort, winter and summer, for more than 17 years and have actively enjoyed everything it has to offer – so they know what they’re talking about !
“I feel I know this beautiful resort incredibly well and I set up Simply Val d’Isère when I realised that there was no specialist, experienced agency available, dedicated to assisting people in Val d’Isère to make the right choices and get the best value for money,” says company founder Kim Rippin. “Over the years I have seen time and time again skiers arriving here but having their expectations quashed due to the lack of knowledge of their travel agent or lack of experience themselves.”
Finding the right holiday can be an expensive and often stressful choice, but along with their local expertise, Simply Val d’Isère allows you to book with confidence, as all bookings are fully financially bonded.
Uniquely, Simply Val d’Isère work with all operators, hoteliers, ski schools and in-resort suppliers and have personally visited the majority of accommodation available on the site. If you wish, they can book the right ski school for you from their personal experience of all the options, have lift passes waiting for you on arrival and work with the only ski shop in the resort offering overnight ski storage.
“The worry of having made the right choice is now relieved. This is how travel should be !” says Kim.
