Ski Pass Prices in Val d'Isere

Season dates in Val d'Isere

The Val d'Isère ski season runs 28 November 2026 to 2 May 2027. 

Early or late season skiing

If you're considering coming then, it's a good idea to keep an eye on our Val d'Isere snow forecast for an up-to-date view of local conditions.

How much are ski passes in Val d'Isere?

The official published standard tariff is the same online and at ticket offices. Online booking is convenient for buying or reloading a pass, while accommodation-linked packages and group offers can provide separate discounts.

For Tignes–Val d’Isère, the six-day pass is sold as a 6=7 day product: you pay for six days of skiing and receive seven days of validity. 

The local Val d’Isère pass is sold as four-hour, one-day and season passes rather than a separate six-day product. The price above is if you were to buy six one-day passes.

Reduced prices apply to young people aged 8–18 and seniors aged 65–74. Children under eight and adults aged 75 and over can obtain free ski passes with proof of age. A €10 administration fee applies to free season passes.

Which Val d’Isère ski pass should you choose?

Val d’Isère local pass

The local pass covers the Val d’Isère side of the mountain, including Solaise, Bellevarde, Le Fornet and La Daille. It gives access to around 150km of pistes and is a practical choice for beginners, families and skiers who are happy to spend most of their holiday in the resort.

The local pass does not allow you to use the Tommeuses chairlift to cross into Tignes. If you want to ski the neighbouring resort, you will need the full Tignes–Val d’Isère pass.

For a short visit, the local one-day or four-hour pass can be a sensible way to keep costs down. For a longer stay, compare the cost of separate day tickets with the full-area 6=7 pass, particularly if you want to ski across the wider domain.

Tignes–Val d’Isère pass

The full pass covers around 300km of pistes across Val d’Isère and Tignes, with skiing from approximately 1,550m to 3,456m. It offers more variety, including the Tignes side of the mountain, and is the better option for confident skiers who want to explore different sectors during the week.

The pass offers a better daily rate than buying individual full-area day tickets. It also includes extra benefits for longer stays, including complimentary entries to the Val d’Isère Aquasportif Centre swimming pool.

The full pass makes most sense if you plan to ski in Tignes on at least a couple of days. If you're likely to stay on the Val d’Isère side throughout the holiday, paying for the wider domain may not be necessary.

Beginner ski passes in Val d'Isere

Val d’Isère has dedicated beginner areas, including the Pim Pam Poum slopes on Solaise. The Pim Pam Poum beginner pass includes one ride on the Solaise gondola, followed by unlimited access to the Pim Pam and Poum magic carpets.

Three lifts are free to use without a ski pass, making them useful for beginners who are just getting started:

• Savonnette ski tow, near the resort centre
• Village chairlift, also near the centre
• Lanches ski tow, in the La Daille sector

These free lifts provide access to beginner-friendly slopes but do not give you access to the wider ski area. Once you are ready to explore further, the local Val d’Isère pass is the natural next step.

Family ski passes in Val d'Isere

A major discount on the total order is available when four or more passes are purchased together and the group meets the following conditions:

• At least two adults aged 19–64
• At least two children or young people aged 8–18
• Passes of the same duration, starting from the 6=7-day product
• All passes purchased in one transaction

The offer excludes season passes. 

This can be a substantial saving for families travelling with older children or teenagers.

Deals and discounted ski passes in Val d'Isere

There are several ways to reduce the cost of a ski pass in Val d’Isère, particularly if you are travelling as a family or booking accommodation and lift passes together.

Early- and late-season skiing

The lower tariffs from 28 November to 11 December 2026 and from 24 April to 2 May 2027 can make a ski holiday cheaper. These periods are also generally less busy, although not every lift or piste will necessarily be open.

Check the latest lift status and snow conditions before choosing an early- or late-season trip. 

Free ski passes in Val d'Isere

You heard it right, you can ski for free in Val d'Isère... but only if you're under eight years old or over 75. Proof of age required at the moment of purchase. Free season tickets are available for any duration. The season ticket requires an administration fee of 10 euros. 

The Savonnette and Village lifts are free to use, which are ideal for beginners taking their first steps on skis.

Cross-country skiing

The cross-country skiing routes are free to use, and there are plenty of them in the area to keep you entertained. You can hire equipment from most ski rental shops in town.

Pedestrian passes in Val d'Isere

You don't need to ski to enjoy the mountain. Pedestrian tickets allow non-skiers to take selected lifts to viewpoints, walking routes and mountain restaurants, or to meet friends and family on the slopes.

Pedestrian access is available on selected lifts, including the Solaise, Olympique and Fornet cable cars, the La Daille and Le Vallon gondolas, and several chairlifts. Check the operating status and pedestrian access before setting off, as not every lift is open to walkers.

Annual and season passes in Val d'Isere

If you plan to ski regularly throughout the winter, a season pass may be better value than buying individual days or weeks.

The local season pass suits anyone who expects to ski mainly around Val d’Isère. The full-area pass is the more flexible option for regular skiers who want to use both resorts.

Ski pass insurance in Val d'Isere

Ski insurance is not included in the lift-pass price. Val d’Isère offers Carré Neige insurance, which can help cover the costs associated with a skiing accident, including mountain rescue and evacuation. It can also cover eligible medical expenses, repatriation and refunds for unused ski passes or lessons, subject to the policy terms.

For daily insurance, the cover must be purchased at the same time as the ski pass and for the same duration. The season policy has separate terms.

Carré Neige covers eligible accidents in the ski area, including off-piste terrain accessible by ski lift, but exclusions and limits apply. Read the policy conditions before buying, especially if you plan to ski off-piste.

For a short ski holiday, the daily option is a straightforward way to arrange rescue and accident cover. If you already have travel insurance or cover through a bank card, check carefully whether it includes mountain rescue, helicopter evacuation, medical costs and repatriation in France. Do not assume that every policy includes these expenses.

Where to buy ski passes in Val d'Isere

Buying online through the official Val d’Isère ski-pass shop is convenient, especially if you want to check the latest tariffs, buy a group offer or reload an existing pass. You can also buy passes at lift-pass offices around the resort.

Reusable ski-pass cards are free when issued with a pass. A €10 fee applies if a card is lost.

Ticket offices are particularly useful if you need a beginner pass, a free pass requiring proof of age, pedestrian tickets or help choosing the right product.
