Family-friendly: Families will find Tignes a welcoming resort, especially if they stay in the purpose-built village of Les Boisses or the Club Med in Val Claret.

Have a read of our top reasons to visit Tignes for a more detailed breakdown on it all!

What is Tignes like as a ski resort?

Tignes is a world-class, high-altitude ski resort nestled in the French Alps and is justly famous for its exceptional snow record.

Thanks to the Grande Motte glacier, peaks of 3,456m, and 300km of pistes across the Tignes-Val d'Isere ski area, Tignes is one of the largest and most snow-sure skiing destinations in Europe. The main village, Tignes Le Lac, sits at a lofty 2,100m.

Tignes is a purpose-built collection of five main villages at varying altitudes, all interconnected by a free shuttle bus:

Tignes Le Lac (2150m): Le Lac is the historic heart of Tignes and offers a buzzy atmosphere with plenty of bars, good access to the slopes, and plenty of ski-in-ski-out accommodation.
Tignes Val Claret (2,100m): If you plan to party as much as you ski, Val Claret is the best place to stay - it’s home to several lively bars and clubs, and also has the best access to the Grande Motte glacier.
Tignes Le Lavachet (2,050m): The smallest and quietest of Tignes’ villages, Le Lavachet is also perfectly situated to serve as a base for exploring all the resort has to offer.
Tignes Les Boisses (1,800m): The newest area in Tignes, Les Boisses is a peaceful village of lovely wood and stone chalets that was purpose-built with families in mind.
Tignes Les Brévières (1,550m): The lowest of the five villages, visitors to Les Brévières will enjoy its relaxed atmosphere, traditional Alpine chalets and access to Val d’Isere.

The resort has always attracted families and large groups of friends, offering a wide choice of activities both on and off the slopes. The overall experience combines high-altitude, quality skiing with a lively atmosphere.

Tignes' snow surety makes it one of the best resorts to ski in the spring. It's included in our list of top ski resorts for March skiing, top April ski resorts, and one of the go-to resorts for an Easter ski holiday, according to our experts. It also makes it one of the best ski resorts in France for an early season trip, too, with the resort open late November!

Tignes Ski Resort and Terrain

The Tignes ski area is seamlessly linked with its neighbour, Val d'Isère, to form the renowned Tignes-Val d'Isère ski area (formerly known as Espace Killy).

From dedicated beginner areas, with free and easy-to-use lifts, to brilliant backcountry and everything in between, Tignes caters to skiers of all abilities.

Families will find a plethora of quality ski schools, excellent child care facilities and, in Les Boisses, a village that’s been purpose-built around their needs.

In summary, the resort offers:

300km of Pistes: The ski area is vast, guaranteeing an enormous variety of immaculately groomed runs.

Altitude Range: The slopes stretch from a low of 1,550m up to the top of the Grande Motte at 3,456m, promising excellent coverage.

Glacier Skiing: The Grande Motte glacier provides access to the highest skiing and reliably excellent snow quality. A funicular transports you from Tignes Val Claret to the top.

Off-Piste: Tignes is famous for its abundance of easily accessible and thrilling off-piste terrain and world-class freeriding opportunities.

Snowparks: Snowboarders and freestylers can enjoy the world-class terrain parks, including the acclaimed DC Park.

The Tignes side is known for its highly efficient, modern lift system, with fast 6- or 8-person chairlifts that allow for effortless skiing and fewer queues, especially once you've gained altitude.

And it’s easy to ski from Tignes to Val-d'Isère. You could take the Fresse chairlift from Val Claret through the Tovière pass, which takes just 7 minutes and lands you in an area of Val d’Isère with a high proportion of greens and blues.

Or from Le Lac, take the Tovière gondola (5 minutes) and ski on the Creux/Edelweiss blues into Val d’Isère. From there you can go up the Marmottes chair to Rocher de Bellevarde, where you have the option of a green, a blue, or a couple of reds runs to take you all the way back down.

Beginner skiing in Tignes

With green runs making up 13% of the total ski area, Tignes is better than Val d'Isère for beginners. The resort offers dedicated beginner areas with free, easy-to-use lifts found at Le Lac and Le Lavachet.

Once you’re ready to progress off the nursery slopes, there are some quiet, friendly greens at the top of the free Bollin chairlift in Val Claret, a few accessed by the free Lavachet lift in Le Lac, while those staying in Tignes 1800 and Les Brévières will enjoy the meandering Myrtilles run through the trees.

The Genepy green run is another perfect starting point for progression.

Read our beginner's guide to skiing in Tignes for more beginner insights!

Intermediate skiing in Tignes

Tignes is known as an intermediate's paradise. Enjoy 147km of cruisey blues and challenging red runs. Don't miss the red piste Double M from the Grande Motte to Val Claret. Blue runs make up around 44% of the area, and red runs are 27%.

Advanced skiing in Tignes

The resort offers thrilling black runs, including the devilish La Sache from L'Aiguille Percée down to Les Brévières. Extensive accessible off-piste is also a major draw for expert skiers. Black runs make up around 17% of the area. The terrain often lends itself to more challenging skiing.

Family skiing in Tignes

As well as the aforementioned beginner areas, the variety of runs ensures everyone in your family will find pistes that they’re comfortable with. There are also many excellent ski schools and, for parents who want to leave their young children in safe hands while they make the most of their ski holiday, loads of child care facilities and kids’ clubs.

Group skiing in Tignes

Tignes has a huge amount of skiing, with plenty for every ability. The better skiers in your group might enjoy the 41 red and 32 black runs in the Espace Killy. The ski area also has 65 blues which intermediates will enjoy, and 21 greens that the beginners can learn on.

Après-ski in Tignes is strong, with Tignes Val Claret and Tignes Le Lac being where the bars and nightclubs are. These are easily accessible to beginner skiers, as are the main mountain restaurants, such as the Grizzly Bar and Restaurant, down at the bottom of the slopes leading to Val Claret. Back in town there's more to do aside from bars, like swimming or attempting the climbing wall.

It's one of France's biggest ski resorts, so there's a huge range of accommodation to suit various budgets and preferences - even within your group. Hotel Diva is one of our most popular hotels in Tignes Val Claret and just opposite the Tichot chairlift. It’s a good choice for groups, with a spa and its own restaurants among its highlights.

Accommodation options in Tignes

Tignes offers a comprehensive range of options for your stay. The high density of modern, purpose-built accommodation in the upper villages means many are genuinely ski-in/ski-out.

Hotels and Chalets: Choose from luxurious catered chalets with amenities like hot tubs and saunas, to half-board hotels and all-inclusive packages.
Apartments: Self-catered apartments are a highly popular and convenient choice, often allowing you to ski right to your door.

Les Brévières is where you’ll find some of the most traditional accommodation in Tignes, with loads of cosy old stone farmhouses, ski chalets, and family-friendly hotels perfect for a relaxing post ski drink in front of a fire.

As one of the big resort hubs, Val Claret has a wide range of accommodation, much of it ski-in-ski out, including classy chalets, great value apartments, and fancy hotels. Alongside Le Lac, it’s also where you’ll find most of the best budget hotels.

That said, you’ll also find great value accommodation in the more relaxed villages of Les Boisses and Le Lavachet.

If you’re coming to Tignes as a family, look out for accommodation labelled as ‘Family Plus’, which means it’s committed to providing a personalised family welcome, specially trained staff, and childcare facilities that are adapted to kids of all ages. Many also have a kids club.

Tignes après scene and nightlife

Tignes is one of the best après destinations in the Alps, especially in the resort’s larger villages of Val Claret and Le Lac.

Whether or not you’re staying in Le Lac, we’d recommend ending at least one of your ski days at Loop Bar, which you’ll find at the bottom of the Rosset and Trolles pistes. It really has everything you could ask for: a large sunny terrace, DJs and live bands, hearty food and snacks, and screens for sports fixtures inside.

The Marmot Arms, also in Le Lac, is another classic après spot, offering much of the same.

Over in Val Claret, at the foot of the slopes, is Cocorico - a table-dancing, cheesy music, après institution that guarantees a good time. Once you’re done with the cheese, head to Drop Zoneto to enjoy drinks deals and funky tunes on what’s said to be the largest terrace in Tignes.

If you’re after more chilled après in Val Claret, go for cocktails at Grizzly’s or sink into the five star splendour of the Whitney Bar at Suites du Nevada.

You could also head over to Val d’Isere for the rubber-stamped après of the original Folie Douce - just make sure you leave enough time to get the last lifts back.

Late night antics can be found at Jacks in Le Lac, and Le Melting Pot and Blue Girl in Val Claret.

What activities are there to do in Tignes?

Tignes isn’t short of alternative activities, whether you want to get out of your comfort zone or stay very much within it.

Speaking of comfort zones, your six day ski pass grants you unlimited free access to the Le Lagon swimming pool, which has a waterfall, slides, and toddler zone.

The Le Lagon complex also houses a fitness centre and a wellness centre, which offers massages, a sauna, steam room, hammam, and a tea room.

Tignespace, an indoor sports centre, offers a climbing wall, bouldering wall, trampolines, and courts for tennis, badminton, and squash.

Tignes also offers all the winter activities you’d expect, including sledging, horse riding, snow shoeing, dog sledding, ski touring, paragliding, snowmobiling, and snow tubing, as well as some you won’t expect…

For example, you can skid around an icy track in a rally car, climb up a wall of ice, and even dive underneath the ice! And it would be remiss of us not to mention the ludicrously fun Bun J Ride, which involves throwing yourself off a massive ski jump while attached to a bungee cord

How do you get to Tignes?

To get to Tignes you can fly into Chambéry, Geneva, Grenoble, or Lyon.

Chambéry is the closest (2 hours 15 minutes), but many choose to go to Geneva (3 hours) as there’s a greater choice of flights. The transfer time from both Grenoble and Lyon is around 4 hours.

Another option is to take the Eurostar from London to Bourg St Maurice (change at Paris Gare du Nord), and then take a taxi or bus from there. It takes about 9 hours by train, then 40 minutes to drive up the mountain from the station.

Lovely chalet - 11/05/2023

Overall

The chalet offers a great location, just a short ride down an easy blue to your choice of two lifts, or a short walk into the main hub of Le Lac for the Toviere Gondola. The living area offers a lovely space with a woodburner - a perfect place to spend the evening. The bedrooms are a good size also.
