The Skiers' Guide to Tignes

Good slopes to improve on, enjoyable runs after progressed, ski school excellent, accommodation good, people fun, food and drink good and reasonably priced. Definitely recommend.

Had a blast, great place to ski, especially the glacier and the olympic runs. Blagged my way onstage to play guitar at Cocorico, had a fantastic time. The beer is a little pricey, but generally a brilliant resort. Plenty of runs, fun terrain, good off-piste (even some tree runs at lower altitude). 10/10 would ski again.

Good resort to visit in December as there is usually good snow and before Christmas it is quiet. Reasonably large ski area including Val d'Isere. Good selection of red and black runs. We only ski on-piste but snow was well prepared. It needs more picnic areas as there are only 4 in the whole area and one was closed all week for use by racers. We ski lots and carry our own packed lunches so don't use the mountain restaurants - its too expensive when you ski 4 or 5 weeks each winter. Good range of self-catering accomodation. We particularly liked that we got free ski passes as we are over 75!

Really enjoyed Tignes - staying in Le Lac. Wide variety of runs either staying close to ‘home base’ as we did some days to collect a member of the group from ski school at lunch, or to venture further and explore the wider area. Not much in the way of trees unless you get over to Val D’isere, but some great runs that side - and the iconic up and over lift.
Obviously good apres at Folie and some good spots in town for sundowner beers (shout out to Marmotts) with live music).

Top place - great for a mixed group.

Great resort. More chilled than Val D'isere. Lots of apres options that beat follie douce. Lots of great restaurants

Really enjoyed this resort. Good access to large number of runs so plenty of variety! Busy in school holidays - try to avoid if possible. Great apres!

Very fun for first time skiing
Lots of things to do
Came with university
Apres ski all very fun and great to have both live and not music

Amazing resort, has everything you need there! You can easily ski across to Val D’Isere aswell which is great to mix it up. Slopes were good and has enough for all abilities

I went in March 2025 with a group of friends. The resort is big enough that you don’t feel it’s so busy, even though there are a lot of people around. You’re hardly waiting for lifts and the altitude means you’re pretty much guaranteed snow during peak season. Having said that, you don’t really get scenic tree runs like you would in resorts lower down. The trees you do see are a bit lower down where the snow can be hit and miss. The runs aren’t so difficult, with plenty of wide runs to keep you entertained. Apres is great! Lots of options. Folie can be a bit difficult if you are a beginner due to the churned up snow and steepness of the run to get there (especially later in the afternoon).

Great resort with good transpprt links. Top quality ski instructors, great and varied accomodation options and pristine slopes.

Great 5 days, good on and off piste, lots of space and chair lifts. Good option for food and drinks all across the resort and relatively easy to get to.

Fantastic resort. 2000m so pretty much guaranteed snow.

Great park and easy to get around the whole resort on a snowboard without any flats!

Great resort , amazing facilities , very friendly locals , superb slopes although challenging at times

The whole area was professional kept in excellent shape, there was everything you need for an excellent ski holiday, from well kept slopes to excellent links to all the mountains by cable car , underground trains to the glacier, to great spar access at affordable prices, you’ll not be disappointed

Previously I have stayed in Val D'isere and Val Claret, this time I stayed in Tignes 1800. It was so much quieter, a lot prettier and got us to my favourite part of the resort super quickly (auguile Percee lift area).

Tignes and Val D'isere is such a complete resort. The on and off piste skiing is extensive. While it is challenging for beginners, it encourages fast improvement and there are lots of blues to develop on.

The lift system is super fast and you can ski 60km+ a day very easily.

It's one of the most snow sure resorts in the world and is therefore my go to. I can't wait to go back!

Great snow, bluebird skies, quiet slopes and no lift queues! We’ve been coming here for years but this week was the best one in terms of snow, weather and quietness. Food and drink is second to none and there’s plenty of choice, really recommend!

Love it in Tignes. Snowsure. Often had fresh powder. Good apres. We spent a lot of time just off piste . Lots of fun to be had. Dragon Lodge gets our vote of a great place to stay. Chill vibes. Close to everything.

I am currently skiing Tignes/Val D’Isere and this has been the most incredible trip of my life. I live in Vail, Colorado, USA. The snow is absolutely terrible this year, but even on years where it’s great, skiing doesn’t quite compare to Tignes. If you’re into mogul or tree runs, this is not the place for you. All skiing is above the tree line. The hors-piste (off groomed runs) is tremendous, with powder patches easy to find. If you’re into groomers, this is a place to come. You can go anywhere on the mountain if you have a basic understanding of skiing/snowboarding. So many food options and the apes-ski is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I’m honestly considering moving here. I have had the best time.

Was great fun and had all the things you need in abundance. Would happily go back but looking to see some other places on my ski’s!

Great resort. A long trip together up there as had to switch vehicles, but once there, really good. Plenty of choice of runs and decent lifts.
