Local News
The resort's socio-professionals met up yesterday morning in Le Fornet. The meeting, held by Val d'Isère Tourism, discussed the importance of customer loyalty through ‘The Club’ as well as the major challenges faced at the end of the season. The Loyalty Club currently has 2,763 members.
The "Ski and Chill" event was also discussed, a period taking place from April 12th to May 4th, as well as a new package called "Dernières Traces", offered to customers from April 19th to May 4th. This package includes a ski pass and accommodation at 40% off, with an option of group lessons and ski rental with a discount of 40%. Val d'Isère Tourism would like to add other benefits yet to be confirmed, such as discounted menu options in restaurants. The objective of this push is to sell another 500 packages.
Several discussions have taken place with local socio-professionals such as the importance of communication, how much ski terrain will be open during this period. For some, the name of the package "Dernières Traces" is controversial and would not be very saleable with the negative connotation of the word ‘Last’.
Classical music is returning this evening to the Church of Saint-Bernard de Menthon for the 31st edition of Classicaval. This classical music festival, initiated in 1993 by Jean Rézine, and has been put on for decades by his faithful students. Classicaval aims to bring together young talents as well as great musicians with an open spirit to new generations.
This evening, from 6 p.m., "Romanticisms" will resonate in the walls of the church. Schubert, Schumann and Brahms will be honored through chamber music with strings and piano as six musicians will take you on an artistic and musical journey.
At 18 years old, local skier Noah Peizerat has been named the junior freeride world champion!

The representative of the Val d'Isère freeski academy put on a great performance and managed to stand out with his own unique style.
Congratulations to this promising young talent.
On the ski mountaineering side of things, Diego Bonnevie had another great performance last week. Last Wednesday, he won the Courchevel vertical race.
