Tignes Reviews & Ratings

I went to Tignes last week and absolutely loved it. The skiing was great with loads of varied runs and really good snow, plus everything felt super well connected so it was easy to get around. The resort is really well laid out, lifts, accommodation, restaurants and bars are all close by which makes such a difference after a long day on the slopes.

The après ski was a real highlight too, great atmosphere, fun bars, and a really lively vibe without feeling chaotic. Overall it’s a brilliant resort with amazing skiing, great après, and a really sociable feel. I’d definitely recommend Tignes and would happily go back.

Frequent FREE buses took you around all of Tignes. Very convenient for post apres when needing to get back to accommodation. Loads of supermarkets so very easy to do cheap. Bluebird everyday (lucky timing for my group) but the slopes were bashed and maintained very well. Runs were a mix of wide and easy but also narrow and challenging.

First time at Tignes and the resort was great ( it did help that we got lucky with snow conditions and off piste). Stayed at Belambra which was good value for money being all inclusive. Coco rico was amazing for apre with live bands (preferred this to folio) piste runs were mainly all wide and all really well looked after with excellent snow. Off piste was amazing we found a perfect hidden area and rode that with a group all day until it was tracked out. Only thing I would say is it was a lot busier on the slopes than other resorts I have been too , but lift wait times weren’t any more than 3 mins.

3456 That’s all you need to remember, the height of the lift at the top of Grande Motte. You then choose between a black or red run down to the cable car, or just carry on with red or a longer gentle blue down to Val Claret.
Stay here and Espace Killy’s your oyster. 30km days will come and go, or ski 2 different off piste areas per day for a week. The original Folie Douce for Lunchtime vibes. Book your trip now!

Great resort excellent skiing can’t fault Tinges Val Claret. Lots of restaurants bars and shops.
Beautiful place and views will be going again if we get a good deal.

Awesome resort. Loads of places to eat, drink, and enjoy yourselves post skiing.
Pistes are brilliant and plenty of KM to explore. Easy access to Val D'Isere for even more fun.
An absolute must to visit this resort - one of the best France has to offer.

Really enjoyable resort, with huge variety of runs as it’s so big. You can even go to Val D’Isere and the further villages. The food on the mountain is really expensive but you can find a couple restaurants which are cheap and very enjoyable food. The Apres Ski is unbeatable with big night parties and on the mountain the vibes are up with people dancing on tables and entertainment. When we went, there wasn’t too much snowfall so the off piste wasn’t the best but the sunny weather was amazing. The ESF ski school was a great option with lots of groups and very family friendly. There were lots of classes for adults too. The ski rent for the day is relatively cheap as I rented as snow board just for one day on top of skis. Overall, highly recommend if you’re looking for an active escape with big nightlife but at the same time great skiing quality slopes. Loved it and will be returning for sure!

Great place to ski, snow sure throughout the season and so much terrain to explore! Apres ski is decent and loads of accommodation options

There were a wide range of different runs for all levels, the powder on some days was really good. The apres ski is amazing with a range of different bars. Cocoricos is my favourite! Eatimg out can be quite expensive but surprisingly chips and a hot chocolate on the mountain were decently priced!

Spent an amazing week in Tignes skiing with friends and family. Good conditions on the slopes and well maintained. Stayed in Tignes le lac 2100, would advise to stay in Val Claret next time to be in a more central location as spent a lot of time in the mornings and afternoon travelling in to Val-d’Isère for lunches.

An excellent snow sure resort which connects to Val Desire so a massive ski area which suits all abilities and great apres.

Hotel food was excellent. Rooms were a little bit on the small side but comfortable. Weather was great with plenty of snow cover so all runs were well groomed. Lessons from TDC Tignes were first class and equipment hire from Tignes Spirit Rentals was excellent.

Good for beginners and experts alike. Lots of restaurants and bars, and all the shops you need. A variety of accommodation styles available at different levels of the resort which makes it flexible according to budget and preferred location.

It’s huge! Generally the lift work well, there’s plenty of choice of accommodation and it’s high enough to be snow sure.

Overall a placé to go at least one Time, not enough Snow in behinning of stay but got Snow Storm
Last 3 days

Great Ski area, that I have been coming to for years, can get busy in peak weeks. But good apres and links to Val.

Tignes is a great resort for guaranteed snow and there are lots of challenging runs. It is not the cheapest resort but worth the extra due to the range of skiing options. The nightlife is great - lots of fun bars. There is a range of restaurants to suit all price points. There is lots of opportunity for off-piste skiing though it was not great when I was there in December due to a snow drought. Overall I would definitely return.

Tignes is special in that it is connected to the Tignes-Val d’isere ski area which, in my humble opinion, is the best in Europe for exciting, challenging skiing close to the elements (the ski area is at the end of the Tarantaise Valley and at a high altitude). Having stayed only in Val d’Isere previously, I approached Tignes with trepidation which soon dissipated. We stayed in Boisses, which is actually really lovely. There are a few decent restaurants with a wide range of price options and the town is well connected to the ski area via the gondola. You can also ski straight down to Brévières before the lifts open and have breakfast at Bouida… delicious!

The other special part of the Tignes-Val d’Isere ski area is that there’s still some traditional restaurants and self-serves left on the mountain (unlike the Three Valleys where everything is now shiny and modern).

The skiing standard is good - the reds are reds and the blacks are definitely blacks. There are beginner areas but really, the ski area lends itself best to intermediates who want to push themselves to get better. A huge advantage is that the snow is really good most of the time and the off-piste off the grand motte and on the Val d’Isere glacier is so much fun! Just make sure you head back to Tignes in time for the final lifts to get back to Les Boisses.

Finally, the après scene in the part of Tignes we stayed in is more family-orientated compared to Val d’isere, although I think it’s harsh to compare as Val d’isere has (in my humble opinion) the best après in France.

Great place to go, full ski experience. Probably not ideal for a complete beginner. Lots of red/ blue slops.

You can get over to the Val d'isere La folie douce from Tignes, which is ace for a bit of aprés ski, not much aprés in tignes though.
Skiing around the resort is really good, with a lot of varied runs to go at.
