Isola 2000 French ski resort is a snow-lover’s paradise in winter and a sun-lover’s paradise in the summer. For you snow-seekers, you’ll find more than skiing. Here, there’s snowboarding, snowmobiling, ice-skating, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and heliskiing aplenty. The area doesn’t boast the most beautiful of Alp’s surroundings, but some high-season discounts can be found if you search in advanced.
Isola 2000 France is quite large given that so few people really know much about it or its history. With 2000 hectares, compromising 15 summits—all between two- and three-thousand meters—you’ll find all that this hidden French ski area has to offer:
The resort proper lies at the same height as hectares—2000 meters. You’ll warp down the longest run for a nice two kilometers on over 120 km of pistes. There is one snowboard playground and 40-some combined runs. The breakdown of these is 30 beginner runs, 4 advanced and a dozen intermediate. There’s so much snow for all the annual visitors because of the 200 plus snow cannons. There are 22 lifts to keep you chugging down all day long. Snow runs aplenty and space to mess about and practice those difficult tactics makes Isola 2000 France ski resort a great place for beginners.
Isola 2000 France is located in the southern section of the Alps, less than 100 km from Nice. The territory is considered a commune by French standards and is of the Isola, Alpes-Maritime coop. Since the Mediterranean is so close—you can see it atop the summit of Sistron on a lucid day—it is plausible to ski during the morning and then move on to surfing in the afternoon.
It’s a purpose-built, somewhat modern rendition of the mightier High Alp resorts, but Isola 2000 proffers so much in close proximity that it takes a weekend or longer before you become fatigued. The resort started in the early 1970s and has been renovated and expanded slightly to fit the increasing visitors who used to overlook this section of the Alps.
The après ski options should not be discounted simply because Isola 2000 is a smaller Alps venue. Isola 2000 is always sunny, more or less year-round, so you can do so much more than ski. To expand on above, there is sledding, horse-drawn carriage rides, skidoos, tobogganing, snowmobiling, ice-skating, snowshoeing, hiking, helihiking and heliskiing all for starters. For finishers, there is a cinema, indoor sports and fitness center, indoor sauna and pool, pubs, restaurants, discos, supermarkets, outdoor cafés and, of course, shopping.
Isola 2000, really, could be considered a discount family ski destination. There’s more beginning and bunny hill options here than a lot of the bigger, more advanced skier-targeted resorts. The whole family can ski during the day and go off to see a movie in the evening. With no lack of ski schools—for the little ones to the bigger adults—you’ll better your ski skills in no time flat. Plus, you’ll never feel as part of the crowds here as they almost always stay below what can be handled. That means discounted prices, even during the higher season, where an affordable Alps skiing holiday is possible for the whole family. At close proximity to so much, Isola 2000 should never be discounted because of size; as the axiom goes, “It’s not the size that matters…”
