Tignes Ski Holiday Guide

“Tignes is an all round great resort - a wide choice of accommodation, superb terrain on offer for all abilities and free lifts for beginners; it’s easy to see why clients return here year after year. Its high altitude means you can always find powder throughout the season – just what I like!” Gordon, Reservations Consultant.

Located below the towering Grand Motte, Tignes is a high altitude haven for those wanting to benefit from the famous Espace Killy area linking with Val d’Isère. Its high altitude, snow-sure slopes and superb glacier skiing make it an ideal destination for an early or late season trip.

The resort is a more modern, purpose-built style, providing excellent value for money on and off the mountain.

Tignes is split into two main areas, Tignes Le Lac & Tignes Val Claret. The majority of our accommodation in Tignes is located in Tignes Val Claret, which provides fast and easy access to the western slopes, towards Val D'Isère and to the Grand Motte.

Skiing in Tignes

Tignes is the ultimate convenient, snow sure ski resort, suitable for all abilities. Beginners can learn on the nursery slope at Tignes Le Lac, which is accessible and separate from the main slopes.

Tignes has ideal intermediate terrain with a huge selection of long red and blue runs including some fantastic runs off the top of the Grand Motte back into resort.

Advanced skiers will find no lack of challenge in the Espace Killy, it has some of the best off piste in France (a guide is a must) and plenty of black runs.

For freestyle skiing Tignes has one of the best terrain parks in France and was home to the 2010 X Games.
