Did you know?
Built from scratch in 1971 on a site that was previously just a sheep pasture, on the initiative of British investors (Bernard Sunley Investment Trust). Its architect-planner, Gérald Hanning, had worked with Le Corbusier.
Thanks to its proximity to the Côte d'Azur, the resort enjoys exceptional sunshine; it was even the snowiest resort in France during the 2010-2011 and 2014-2015 winters.

✍️ Our verdict on Isola 2000

Isola 2000 offers 120 km of well-marked runs, a mid-sized ski area that is ideal for spending 4 to 5 days without ever doing exactly the same thing twice. The 20 lifts are generally enough to handle the crowds in high season. Isola 2000's family reputation is well earned: dedicated beginner areas, a well-run childcare service, well-groomed green runs and a friendly atmosphere at the foot of the lifts. It is one of the most reassuring resorts in the Southern Alps for getting children started on skiing. With a summit at 2,610 m and a village at 1,800 m, snow reliability at Isola 2000 is generally dependable from January to the end of March. A few exceptionally mild winters can cause strain early in the season, but the situation recovers quickly once the first serious snowfalls arrive. The 44€ day lift pass places Isola 2000 among the mid-range resorts on price: neither cheap nor exorbitant. The quality of the ski area and its facilities justifies this price for most skiers. In short: Isola 2000 keeps its promises. A resort in the Southern Alps that will suit most types of skier without disappointing.
