A ski resort can hardly offer more variety than France’s Isère. Isère is a vast skiing paradise. This winter sports haven stretches from the French Prealps to the Massif des Ecrins. From gentle hills dotted with olive trees to areas of perpetual ice, it has it all.
The dining scene is just as varied as the skiing. Michelin-starred cuisine and plenty of culinary delights are a given, from fondue in an igloo to a romantic dinner with a view of Mont-Blanc. Numerous boutiques, cosy little wine bars, sports shops and many other stores invite you to shop.
