Tignes Ski Holidays

France France

High in the scenic French Alps

Tignes is a ski resort with a wide range of activities, both on and off the slopes. Beginners are well catered for with gentle nursery runs whilst expert skiers and snowboarders love this fabulous high altitude snow sure location.

Centred around three villages

The resort forms part of the extensive Espace Killy ski area which covers the popular neighbouring Val d'Isere. It's easy to ski or snowboard between the two resorts.

Tignes really comes into its own for advanced and intermediate skiers

The famous Grande Motte glacier is just minutes away (via the underground funicular lift). Here, red and blue pistes drop from over 3000 metres down into the resort.

Other lovely runs

These include the memorable Sache black which takes you through a picturesque valley and charming villages. Or you can try out the mogul run from Toviere, or ski home from Le Lac on a relaxed blue run.

Off the slopes

There's almost too much to do! Choose between shops, paragliding, lively bars, two cinemas, snow rafting contests, bowling, sleigh rides with huskies, ice diving and much, much more.
