Val-d’Isère
Located near the Italian border, Val-d’Isère consists of small hamlets: Le Cret, Le Joseray, La Legettaz, Le Chatelard, Le Laisinant, La Daille and Le Fornet, each with their own unique sense of beauty. The western and central areas of Val d’Isère are famous for their signature “chalet” architecture, with stylish stone and wood-clad farm buildings.
Every year, Val-d’Isère is host to men’s and women’s competitions of the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup. Despite having become a highly-popular tourist destination, Val d’Isere has managed to keep its traditional Alpine town characteristics. The community spirit has been fostered by the French families who have lived in the resort for decades.

Aix-les-Bains
Roman thermal baths and water therapies were once considered to be the main attraction of this picture-postcard spa town, situated on the shore of the largest natural lake of glacial origin in France. Now, Aix-les-Bains hosts a variety of watersports, including waterskiing, water polo, sailing and windsurfing, attracting tourists from all corners of the globe.
As a town filled with historical monuments from the Gallo-Roman era, the rich history of Aix-les-Bains remains deeply rooted in its cultural identity. Many of the modern lakeside houses have been inspired by Belle Epoque architecture and Art Deco designs.
