Mega resort, simply huge.
Guaranteed great snow conditions, brilliant off-piste, even some trees if you look for them.
Great apres-ski vibe & rocking seasonnaires scene
If you're looking for some peace & quiet, nip down to Ste Foy

Great snow even in early spring. Off piste is great and the link to Val disere is brilliant. Food and accomodation can get expensive but compared to val disrere its not bad at all. Overall great experience and would recommend

Great for young people and big groups. Slopes were mostly poorly groomed and un groomed which made it more of an effort.

To me, Tignes Has always tried to advertise itself as the cool Sister of Val d'Isère, less concerned with looking pretty and more concerned with having fun. It has excellent accommodation options to suit most budgets, And has lots of buses running from Bourg Saint-Maurice. Combining ski areas with Val, It has one of the best ski areas in the Alps. Après bars make it very lively late into the evening, And the famous Val dIsere Fole Douche, Is only a short chair lift away, But make sure you dont get caught on the wrong side of the mountain because it is a long long bus journey back over.

I visited in October ( yes you can ski in the alps in October) to get some pre season skiing on the glacier.
To acess the glacier you take a funicular railway through the mountain. The skiing up top was great and you get so see lots of the professional teams ski slalom etc in preparation for the season. Quite extraordinary to watch so close from the lift when going up!

Came here as an absolute beginner, stayed at the Chalet Rosset, which was devine , great food , great staff, Room a little small , but lovely view. Not enough snow to ski in ski out.
As a beginner the free lifts within the area around Tignes le Lac were brilliant , giving access to several blue easy to moderate blue runs, without the need for a ski pass, 10/10 for this. The green run marked in the village itself is more like a moderate/hard short blue, which feels very daunting as a beginner.
Did 2 days with the ski school, evolution, not a great experience, an opinion share by several of us adults in the ski school group I was in, as a former coach of a different sport I was pretty disappointed and shocked by the attitude of the coaches. So I only did 2 days, then set about teaching myself.
.
This was help greatly by the free lifts and access to easy/moderate blues. The green is a BLUE....
Are out once at the Pork Restaurant, stunning food and service.
All in all a good introduction to skiing , facility and run wise, the green runs away from the town accessed by lifts are superb .

Love this place! Super good vibes and a variety of slopes and fun slopes !
Very lively and never disappoints, my brother did a ski season there and loves this resort with all his heart
The one downside is the black run home when you live on a certain side can get quite busy ! And the après isnt close enough

Fantastic resort in terms of vibe, scenery and terrain. Tignes is a skiers paradise for intermediate and advanced skiers. With extensive terrain linked to Val d'Isere, it boasts a massive 300km of piste offering long runs, challenging blacks, and incredible off-piste opportunities. The reliable high altitude snow makes it a great choice for early and late season trips.
However, beginners beware! While there are some manageable blues, the dedicated beginner areas are limited, and some blues can be trickier than expected. Après-ski is lively, especially in Val Claret, but expect it to be on the pricier side. Accommodation often offers ski-in/ski-out convenience, which is a major perk. Overall, Tignes excels for experienced skiers seeking vast terrain, reliable snow, and a lively atmosphere.

I was on a ski trip organised from university. The skiing was truly amazing in tignes. There is so much to discover, I was able to go a different route every day and for my 2 week vacation I still couldnt go to every route there. Apres is great too.
