Tignes Reviews & Ratings

Stayed in a great Airbnb ski in ski out near the centre of tignes (bottom of the lake)

Loved it. Two lifts to take you either side up to Val dsere or stay in tignes. Great Apres and snow park also fun! Would definitely go back. Food options were good but not loads of restaurants. Mainly ate on the slopes or made food

We went with a group of work friends arriving late on 17 Jan and departing lunchtime 24 Jan. We were a mixed group from an absolute beginner skier, a novice skirt and and intermediate snow boarder.

We stayed in a basic studio in the Home Club Residence in La Vachet. These studios are all privately owned and there is a huge variety in standard and finish. Ours was dirty, poorly maintained, with cockroaches and the most squeaky bunk beds and sofa beds. If anyone moved in the night then everyone woke up. It is worth paying a little bit more to know what you are getting and would book a room that can sleep 1-2 more people than you are taking.

The free busses are regular (every 5mins during the ski day, and 40 mins or so after the Apres Ski) to link the different accommodation areas so you can get around quickly and cheaply.

The skiing area is just huge. With a wide variety of chairs, lifts, gondolas and funiculars so that you can get out and explore the mountains. Colour coding is a little inconsistent particularly with a large overlap between blue and red so it is worth talking to locals / having instruction / finding a YouTube video to help plan your day. There are also 2 snow parks, ski cross courses, giant slalom courses and other racing disciplines available.

There are reasonably priced restaurants dotted around the mountains so that you can ski unencumbered (eg I had a massive pasta Bolognese and a coke for €12.50) without breaking the bank. One of our group is intolerant to dairy and soya and this was easily catered for in most restaurants. Gluten free options would have been a bit harder to find as would vegan options.

Home to the infamous Follie Douce in the Val D'isere area which gets going from 1400 before a last lift down into Tignes at 1630 to carry on in the Apres in CocoRicos in Val Claret until 2000. Most bars have theme nights and offers throughout the week so it is good to explore. The apres ski does Peter put with a few venues which remain open into the small hours but nothing which compares to the earlier experiences of Follie and Cocos (go hard early and then eat cheese and sleep it off before hitting the slopes the next day.

We had the best week with 8 of us in a catered chalet , all had mixed levels of skiing and there was perfect slopes for us all! Some had carving lessons which were fantastic to gain more confidence the instructors were brilliant.
Obviously it can be weather dependent, we had a few bluebird days which were insane and a few snowy fresh powered days.
The apres is always 10/10! Best week ever!

Huge ski area, queues were fine. Apres lively but a little bit expensive. Great red runs and exciting black runs

Large variety of runs for each level and val claret great if you want an apres without having to ski/board home after!
Does take quite a bit of time to ski between the Val D’Isere and Tignes areas and if you are not comfortable with reds the lift down to Val D’Isere would be required.

Lovely resort. Plenty of runs to choose from. We did visit late in the season, so by the afternoon, the snow would start to melt. But that can’t be helped. Morning skiing was fantastic! Hardly queue for many lifts. Maybe one or two, but that’s it.

For our first ski trip we went to tignes. It was so easy to get around using the free transport buses and therefore got to explore a lot of the area. We did notice the runs were significantly harder than the colour they were marked (very difficult blue and green runs) but we had a good time nonetheless. We used ski school in le lac which was great. The food options in le lac were amazing!

Lift pass for Tignes / Val D'Isere covered a huge number of slopes. Far more than we could cover in a week so each day had new chances to explore new pistes, including tree-lined runs and glaciers.

Impressed with the loft system (although a shame that one of the main lifts Marmottes linking the valleys was closed all week).

Easy to get onto lifts and find space in restaurants outside of school holidays.

Would definitely return.

I visit Tignes for the first time in 2023 as a first time skiing. I found it was a great beginners area with plenty of blue and green slopes for me to get used to the sport. In terms of restaurants and bars, there’s so many available options, with free buses (with a ski pass) to different valleys. It was so great I would highly recommend going to anyone.

Tignes is an amazing resort to visit! It has everything you need from great ski slopes for beginners up to advanced, to plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from. It’s homely such an incredible resort and I really recommend to anyone.

Great trip last year to Tignes. Plenty of snow. Spent with loads of friends and we had a great week craving through the mountains.

Loved our week in Tignes in January 2026. It’s a high resort so the snow was good, and we were very lucky that there’d been a fresh dump the weekend we arrived. Even luckier that the weather was brilliant all week! There is a good variety of runs and it’s ideally connected to Val d’Isere where you can find even better skiing. Chair lifts, gondolas and funiculars are all very efficient. Restaurant and bar options are great (although pretty expensive!!). Aprés ski options excellent (Folie Douce and Cocorico!). Tignes town itself is lovely and has all the amenities you’d need. The free shuttle bus between Tignes le Lac and Val Claret is ideal too! All in all a great resort but would only recommend a visit if you get a lift pass that covers Val d’Isere as well.

Tignes is one of the best ski resorts in the French Alpes. The ski area is so large with access to val d’Isère. The lifts are amazing on shutting with bad weather, the run from the glacier is beautiful and an absolute must do, it is a lovely long red run the whole way down. Tignes has the best apres with folie and cocoricos which you cannot beat.

Fun resort. We got really lucky with the weather in Jan! Hire was simple. Slopes were mixed, definitely better in the morning as moguls formed by the afternoon. Apres is great - follie very close. Lots of areas to explore! Can get busy and is of course pretty expensive.

Great place pleanty of runs for all abilities, some epic snow parks, nightlife good with great restaurants in the local town

Love the place great cheaper alternative to Val d’sare
Been a number of times, one of my favourite resorts

Have been visiting Tignes for a fair few years now and absolutely love the resort, definitely aimed at a more intermediate/ advanced level of skiing due to the slopes and conditions. Great for off piste and endless km’s of slopes!

Been back 4 times, scared to pick anywhere else because Tignes is always guaranteed to be brilliant!

I enjoyed it, no real complaints. My accommodation was just a 2 mins walk from the slopes and the slopes were freshly groomed every day. Even up the glacier. Loads of restaurant options too

Really enjoyed skiing at Tignes. The Ski Resort is huge with so many runs to choose from and the Apres Ski options are great.
