Description

Perched above the town of Val D’Isere in the Tarentaise Valley, the Table is a destination that pays homage to the origins of Le Bent.

In the early days, Le Bent founders Simon & Anthony would escape at lunch time from their boot-fitting job in Val D’Isere and make their way to the chutes that ribbon their way across the stunning face of the Table. Classic lines, all visible from town making for plenty of yew’s and froth for all seasonaire’s and their buddies.

Val D’Isere provided the essential skills gained from the boot fitting trade, big mountain awareness and a lifetime of froth and good times.

This is Le Bent.
