Welcome to Isola Ski Resort

Isola 2000 is less than 60 miles from Nice and offers decent skiing for beginners and intermediates alike. With its proximity to the coast, it would be easy to assume the mountains here are mere foothills of the Alps, but don’t be fooled. There’s a reason Tour de France cyclists base themselves in Nice during the summer. It’s home to some big mountains, and Isola is home to 43 pistes up to 2,600m. What you might lack in architectural charm, you gain in super easy ski-in, ski-out access in this purpose built resort.

Best time to ski in Isola

The season runs from early December to the end of April, which may seem surprising for a resort so close to the beaches of the south of France. But its maritime climate is its friend – any Mediterranean storm rolling in duly dumps a payload of snow when it hits the mountains. Quite often, it fares better than resorts further north. Spring skiing doesn’t get much better than in the south of France, so if you’re looking for a suntan as well as some snow, book your trip from March onwards. Just be aware that being so close to Nice does mean it can get busy over the weekends

Things to do in Isola

Well, apart from jumping in the car and heading to the casinos of Monaco (a two hour drive), Isola offers the full smorgasbord of snow based activities from cross-country skiing to ski touring, dog-sledding to ice driving to something they call ‘snake gliss’. Yeah, we had that thought too, but it involves sliding down in a group of interlinked sledges, one behind the other – and looks a lot of fun. You can also hire e-snow bikes that are driven by a snowmobile like track. In town there’s shopping, a bowling alley, some great restaurants, a dozen or so bars and a nightclub.
