Val d'Allos
A small town perched in the mountains and linked in to the Espace Lumiere giving access to over 230km of skiing.The word "Foux" is an old slang word meaning "source" and the resort takes its name from the source of the river Verdon which is in the mountains just above the resort. This river is much more well known further down its course when it goes through the Gorges du Verdon.
There are 2 different ski areas and they are only linked by a road. (There is a free bus between the different resorts of Val D'Allos). The Espace Lumiere is the larger area with 170km of slopes and includes the resorts of Pra Loup and La Foux d'Allos (Val D'Allos 1800). The second area is Val D'Allos 1400/1500. It can get a little confusing between the resort names - for example the Ski Club of Great Britain refers to Val D'Allos 1800 as La Foux D'Allos in its snow reports, but the tourist office covers 1800, 1500 and 1400 and so is referred to as Val d'Allos.
Nonskiers can take the telecabine de la Chaup, telecabine de l'Aiguille or the chairlift du Marin Pascal and join their friends on the mountain for lunch or a drink. A free navette runs daily around the resort of Val D'Allos 1800 from 8.30am until 7.30pm (8.30pm on Saturdays and during the holidays).

Pre Departure
When you book your holiday with Zenith Holidays, you can be confident that we will be there to help make the whole experience as smooth as easy as possible.
During the week before you leave, we will call you to make sure you have all you need or to provide any help or assistance in some last minute touches - but, before then, do make sure your passport is valid (not required for Jersey) and peruse our upgrade possibilities - you can book up to 2 weeks before you travel but do be aware that some things will sell out - airport parking and the Meet & Greet service often do on peak holiday dates and the "Fetch-my-luggage" service is bound to be popular on busy weeks so do book that early.
If you need an airport hotel or even some "tried & tested" car games for the kids for the drive down, let us know or book them online - once you have booked your holiday, all these extras can be added in your own secure booking area.
