Val d’Isère is launching an all new resort app this winter which it hopes will be the greatest ski resort app yet – having been created as the result of a collaboration between some of the world’s greatest computer experts.
But will an electronic gizmo ever replace human expertise ? Val d’Isère is of course one of the world’s great resorts with its ski area part of the vast Espace Killy and with a huge choice of accommodation and always lots going on, but is a machine the best way to stay on top of it all and make the most of your few days in resort, especially if it’s your first time there ?
The answer, thankfully, is “No,” as human experience still wins out – so long, that is, as the company concerned really knows Val d’Isère. And there is one small specialist agency that has built a reputation as THE Val d’Isère experts for nearly two decades and who are currently finalists in the Best Ski Travel Agent category of the 2015 World Ski Awards : Simply Val d’Isère.
Simply Val d’Isère is 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 actively enjoyed everything it has to offer – so they know what they’re talking about! The company offers the widest selection of accommodation in the resort that you will find anywhere, and for all budgets.
“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.”
If you wish, Simply Val d’Isère can also 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. Will the new app be able to do that ?
