Small Spar in the Le Clos hamlet, the older part of Val d'Isère.
A neighbourhood shop rather than a full supermarket: fresh produce, basics, and some local and organic lines. Handy if you're staying nearby, but it closes for two hours over lunch and shuts earlier in the evening than the bigger shops in the resort.
Spar serving the Hameaux du Val apartments, opening early and staying open into the evening, with the usual long closure in the middle of the day.
Useful if you're staying in that part of the resort.
The main ski pass desk in the centre of Val d'Isère, staffed throughout the season.
Buy or collect passes here, sort out a lost card, or ask the questions the machines can't answer.
Longer hours at weekends than midweek, which covers changeover day.
Card, cash, cheque and travellers cheques taken, and it's wheelchair accessible with assistance.
Ski pass desk at the Fornet lift base, at the far end of Val d'Isère on the road up to the Col de l'Iseran.
Handy if you're staying in the old hamlet rather than the main village, though it closes in the middle of the afternoon, earlier than the desk in the centre.
Card, cash, cheque and travellers' cheques taken, and it's wheelchair accessible with assistance.
Ski pass desk at the foot of the Solaise gondola in the centre of Val d'Isère, a couple of minutes from the main Val Village office.
Open seven days through the season, with a slightly later closing time on Saturdays.
Card, cash, cheque and travellers' cheques taken, and wheelchair accessible with assistance.
Ski pass desk at the La Daille lift base, at the lower end of Val d'Isère where the Funival funicular and the La Daille gondola head up to Bellevarde.
Useful if you're staying in the apartments down here rather than in the main village.
Val d'Isère's medical practice, on the Avenue Olympique by the petrol station.
General medicine, paediatrics, gynaecology, trauma and emergency care, with a dozen doctors on the books through the season.
No appointment needed, just turn up.
English spoken. Open all year, with longer hours and weekend cover in the ski season.
For a medical emergency call 112; the nearest A&E is Bourg-Saint-Maurice.
Val d'Isère's dental practice, in the same Medival building on the Avenue Olympique as the doctors.
General dentistry, children's treatment, crowns and veneers, oral and implant surgery, with a panoramic X-ray room on site.
By appointment, though they're used to fitting in emergencies.
The French Alps host the Winter Olympics from 1 to 17 February 2030, followed by the Paralympics from 1 to 10 March, and two of the venues are on the Tarentaise's doorstep.
Val d'Isère hosts the alpine skiing, 30 minutes up the D902 from Sainte-Foy. La Plagne takes the bobsleigh, luge and skeleton on the Albertville 1992 track, directly across the valley from Les Arcs. Courchevel gets ski jumping and more alpine racing, plus the para alpine and para snowboard events. Alpes 2030 - Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games +2
For anyone booked into Villaroger, Sainte-Foy or Les Arcs that February, expect the valley to be busy, the Bourg-Saint-Maurice funicular and buses fuller than usual, and accommodation booked out early. It also means the quieter villages between the venues will be exactly where you want to be.
Ticketing and volunteer sign-ups haven't opened yet; the organising committee's site at alpes2030.org is where those will be announced.
The venue plan is still subject to final IOC confirmation, so treat the details as provisional for now.
