About Tignes
Tignes enjoys all the skiing attributes of Val d'Isère, as they combine to make up the L'Espace Killy.
The 300km of marked pistes cover all abilities and provide greatly varied mountain terrain.
Advanced skiers and boarders are particularly well served, with great off-piste (a guide is an absolute must)..
Tignes also has the Grande Motte glacier, so year-round skiing is available - one of its biggest attractions.
Because of its high altitude, Tignes makes for an excellent early or late season venue. The whole area is serviced very well by an efficient lift system and the five 'satellites' that make up the resort are all linked by free bus.
Beginners have plenty of blues, while intermediates have their reds, but be warned… As with most French resorts, some of the piste grading is inaccurate and some greens are more like tough reds.
