Tragedy in Val d’Isere

The latest news from Val d’Isere has pulled on the heart strings of many who know and love the resort and especially with certain members of the team here at Oxford Ski.

The legendary Apres ski bar and restaurant Bananas burnt down at 3.00pm on Sunday afternoon. Smoke engulfed the iconic bananas roof as firemen battled the blaze, fortunately no one was hurt although this did not stop the pain being felt by everyone in resort who’s lives have been touched by this famous Val d’Isere landmark.

Despite the tragedy, Val d’Isere was abuzz over the weekend as the first lifts and pistes opened for the season, to the envy of many other Alpine resort which are still waiting for their first snowfalls. 

We still have some fantastic chalets available to make the most of this early snowfall; the fabulous chalet La Tene is still available from the 11th December, the cosy chalet apartment Santons Isere is available from the 10th December and Chalets Nanouk and Elena are available from the 17th December.
