Isola Holidays
Isola is the closest high resort to the south of France, the Cote d’ Azure. Being one of the more tame resorts, families and couples enjoy an Isola holiday, but it also has a lot to offer groups who are looking for some pleasant adventure.
A charming location
The ski resort, Isola 2000 sits above the medieval town of Isola, a place where you can wander the cobbled streets and take in the charm of its buildings, some of which are over 900 years old. For further sightseeing, visit town of Vinadio, sitting prettily above the resort. It is not only a picturesque setting, but the location of the thermal baths, a great place to relax and loosen the muscles after a few days of skiing.
A holiday in Isola is popular among novice and intermediate skiers, due to a friendly and unintimidating network of slopes. For those who would like time away from the skis or the snowboard, try go karting on ice for something that little bit different. Tobogganing, ice skating, sleigh rides and ice diving are also popular activities among visitors during the winter.
If you are looking for a hectic nightlife, then a holiday to Isola will probably not be as lively as you might like. The après ski here consists of a couple of small nightclubs, and a handful of bars as well as around twenty restaurants, where you can relax and take the night easy after a physical day on the slopes or doing activities. You will find a lot of Mediterranean dishes on the menu here, a refreshing change from most other ski resorts in Europe.
