Tignes —
Sharing a ski area with nearby Val d’Isère, a trip to Tignes allows access to an immense 300km of exciting pistes, with 78 lifts serving the whole area. Made up of five mountain villages offering stunning views across the Alps, Tignes is the perfect place for a winter break whether you’re a seasoned skier or new to the sport.
The highest village in Tignes, Val Claret at 2300m, is a world away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, providing a fun-filled frosty adventure for guests of all ages. Completely self-sufficient, Val Claret is considered to be a central hot spot for buzzing nightlife in Tignes, and also offers the best access to the Grande Motte glacier, where the peak 3,456km peak is the starting point for a range of breathtaking descents into the valley. For freestyle thrills, the largest halfpipe in the French Alps is located in Val Claret, and up towards Col du Palet, you can find a boardercross and freestyle terrain park.
Elsewhere in the resort, try ice diving beneath a frozen lake or paragliding over the valley. Afterwards, warm up in Le Lagon leisure and well-being centre or head to the cinema to relax. Though Tignes’ expansive nature does mean après-ski is concentrated in the main hubs of Val Claret and Le Lac, there is plenty here to enjoy, with bars offering grand mountain views and exciting happy hours perfect for warming your bones after a long day on the slopes!
