The Worlds Best Downhill Skiing - Val d'Isère

One of the venues for the 1992 Winter Olympics, Val d'Isère is a world famous ski resort in the French Alps. The resort will also host the World Ski Championships in 2009.

As pointed out by the resort's web site, however, this legendary skiing area is not exclusively for the champions: "300 km of slopes, free-ride itineraries, a snowpark, a high altitude and an outstanding geographical situation combine to provide something for everyone, including children and beginners."
