Tignes

The village

Tignes gives ski holidays the altitude that most other resorts will never be able to match! Tignes is regarded as one of the world's highest and most snow-sure ski areas, with a large ski area - the Espace Killy - which appeals to all abilities from beginner to expert powder skiers. Tignes is open for skiing over much of the summer too, thus labelling the resort as one of the most reliable snow destinations in the Alps. However, the unfortunate fact about Tignes is that it is rather an ugly resort that has fallen foul of the high-rise concrete revolution of the 1960s! The solution very much lies in Tignes Les Brévières. Les Brévières is the original old town of Tignes which oozes alpine charm and consists of lovingly restored and converted farmhouses to exclusive new and tasteful chalet developments. Yet the real beauty of this village lies in its snow sure slopes and high altitude, allowing guests to enjoy premium skiing of a Glacial 'super resort' without the ugliness that goes with it!

The ski area

Tignes shares the Espace Killy with nearby Val d'Isère, so wherever you're staying you'll have access to a whopping 320km of trails. Unlike a lot of French ski areas, Tignes is open year round, with visitors coming to mix glacier skiing with afternoons on the shore of the lake. Tignes is famous for its excellent high altitude snow, largely due to the Grand Motte which plays host to the highest ski-able Glacier in France. Although the high altitude prevents any tree-skiing, it does mean that Tignes' snow-sure factor is one of the highest in France. The slopes in Tignes are characteristically wide, long lasting and highly efficient. All in all, this allows for some effortless skiing for all abilities, less slope congestion and not so much waiting in the lift queues! The slopes are immaculately kept and link very well with neighbouring Val d'Isère to offer a superb variety of steeper descents and networks of easier runs for the progressive intermediates to cover some mileage. Where pistes are marked as 'Tranquil' zones, a strict speed limit is observed for beginners. At the other extreme, 'Naturide' areas (a new category of piste popping up all over Europe) are actually part of the patrolled piste area, but aren't groomed by the piste bashers, meaning no corduroy and giving them a more natural feel.
