High in the scenic French Alps, situated high in
the peaks, Tignes offers snow sure slopes and a superb ski
area. Beginners as well as expert skiers love this fabulous
high altitude location.
Tignes centres around three small villages
sitting high above the tree line. Our hotels can be found
nestled in the villages of Tignes Le Lac and Le Lavachet.
Forming part of the Espace Killy ski area, Tignes provides a huge
variety of terrain for skiers and boarders from challenging
off-piste powder to leisurely cruising runs.
The highlight of the ski area is the magnificent
Grande Motte glacier with its excellent runs back down to
resort. The long runs down to Tignes-les-Brevieres are a
popular choice, home to many restaurants, perfect for lunch on the
terrace. Beginners are also well catered for with a good
selection of wide open nursery slopes.
Off the slopes there is plenty going on in
Tignes. Our very own pub in Tignes Le Lavachet - "Scotty's" is both
lively and popular and there are plenty of other bars and
restaurants to choose from. The recent addition to the resort
is the fantastic swimming pool and wellness centre in Tignes Le
Lac. Espace Killy lift pass gives you one free visit to the
centre.
For some rest and relaxation, check into a spa
for the day. The cheapest is in Tignespace and you can use their
jacuzzis, sauna and steam room from €11/day. For a more upmarket
luxurious experience, check into one of the hotel spas: Montana
Hotel or Campanules (Le Lac) or Ecrin du Val Claret (Val
Claret).
