The Skiers' Guide to Tignes

Love the resort! It brings such a community vibe. There is an option for Apres down in resort as well which is brilliant for beginners. So much terrain to cover!

I have been skiing in Tignes and Val D'Isere my whole life and absolutely love it there. It's got such a massive expanse of different slopes on the Espace Killy lift pass that there is very little more you could ask for.

Even sticking to just one of the sublocations (Tignes Le Breviere, Tignes Val Claret, Tignes Le Boisses, etc.) you can have an amazing trip regardless of ability.

Extensive resort with loads of really good pistes for improving your skiing. Apres was good, lively enough for us as we like to be up early to hit the slopes

Brilliant apres scene ! Only learnt to ski a few years ago, was my second trip at the time- runs were beginner friendly, plenty of blues and reds !

Visited December 2025, very good snow cover and runs well maintained.
Beginner friendly with options of long nice greens and lots of blues, as well as options for more advanced skiers/borders to keep things interesting.

Stayed in Tignes 2100 (Le Lac) which had lovely restaurants and a couple of lovely bars. Good connections to Val Claret and Val D'Isere too.

Reasonably expensive but you can keep costs down by choosing cheaper accommodation and self cater etc.

Caters for all types of skiers and boarders, loads of runs, loads of off piste to explore. 1 week doesn't feel like enough time to cover the ground available. Great apres options and well connected to Val D'Isere, Tignes Les Breviere and Val Claret. Results in being more expensive that other resorts.

Amazing resort with lots of great skiing and good snow parks, high altitude runs for a longer season too

Great big resort, lots of areas to explore, means you don’t end up doing the same runs all the time! Hardly quad for lifts.

Bollin is the best apres bar! - Skip folie overpriced and a bit too serious!

Tignes is the most wonderful resort to visit, it has everything you need for an incredible ski holiday! Would 100% recommend for any ski/board experience but also those who don’t as some restaurants are accessible via lift to meet skiers on piste!

Great family friendly resort, good options of towns to choose from to stay, some cheaper than others too. Great restaurants within le lac and val claret too! Lifts that take you up both sides of the valley always open! Very good snow conditions throughout the season, also easy connections to val disere

Had a great time in Tignes, I have visited numerous times however in the last few years it has declined in popularity. The apres at coco is insane and definitely one not to miss, if you travel as part of a large group like uni or TTS then without a doubt you’ll have a great time. I’ve visited with work, family and friends all separate and never fail to have a great time. Last season was a little icy, but if you’re happy to do your own cooking I’d advise grabbing supplies further down the mountain as the shops can be a little pricey. Restaurants there are a few and bars are more a chilled vibe. Club wise.. yeh I wouldn’t bother clubbing. The skiing is great some nice long runs, snowboarders there’s a variety there too. They also have the downhill run in Le lac.

Always love visiting Tignes, massive ski zone, different areas to visit. Wish there were more different eating place options it can be busy and have to book early to get a good place. The skiing and the lifts are great, can get very busy at pinch points

Loved it, had a great time. Amazing ski area, altitude and size were huge pros. Great choice of restaurants and bars on the mountain too.

Tignes was a beautiful place to ski, well connected to each ski resort/ valley. I enjoyed my morning lessons with the instructor who showed us places we could visit whilst learning to ski.

Awesome powder and amazing apres. Everything you could want from a ski holiday. Good mixture of different levels but probably more targeted to more experienced skiers. Loads of bars high up in the mountains but easy ski down after a few beers!

Great resort with wide variety of pistes to suit every ski ability and to keep you trying something new throughout the week. Good food options and weekly market. Great swimming pool.

A great trip. Despite it being toward the end of the season the snow was great. Loved exploring Val d’Isere too!

Tignes/Val resorts are the best full package ski areas in Europe, both on the mountain and in resort.

Great ski area. Good mixture of runs and a massive area.
Good on slope restaurants.
Apres good.
Transport between resorts is good.

Never had to queue for a lift and slopes never seemed busy. Always a place to stop for a hot chocolate or beer. Great apres ski in the village and at folie
