Tignes Reviews & Ratings

First time in Tignes and very impressed by the facilities provided across the pistes. Well linked thus providing varied skiing terrain across several resorts.
Hotel was ski in/out and close to centre of Tignes Val Claret.
Good variation of bars and restaurants and the superb Cocorico apres spot!!
Downside was the awful immigration que in Geneva and the horrendous 8 hour transfer, and we were not the longest we heard of! Resorts need to get together to spread change days across a weekend as everyone in the region changes Saturday. This would put me off a return unless a non Saturday was available.
Tignes - great.
Travel - awful!

We’ve stayed at Les Brevieres and le Lac, both were a great base, close to ski lifts. Les Brevieres was a nice quiet area with a local pub and a couple of restaurants, Le Lac must busier with more going on day and night, Val claret is very close too and this is more for partying, so you have the options there.

skied in Tignes in February 2025 as part of a large group of 16, and it was an excellent experience overall — one of the most enjoyable ski trips I’ve had.

The snow conditions were fantastic, which isn’t surprising given Tignes’ high altitude. Even later in the season, the pistes were well-groomed and reliable, with plenty of variety for mixed abilities. The Tignes–Val d’Isère area is huge, so even with a big group it never felt overcrowded, and there were always options to split up and regroup later.

For a group our size, Tignes worked especially well. The lift system is efficient, making it easy to move around without long waits, and there are lots of wide, confidence-boosting runs alongside more challenging terrain. Everyone in the group — from cautious skiers to more confident ones — found runs they genuinely enjoyed.

Off the slopes, Tignes had a great après-ski atmosphere without being overwhelming. There were plenty of bars and restaurants that could comfortably handle a big group, and the resort felt lively but still relaxed. Being ski-in/ski-out in many areas also made logistics much easier with so many people.

Overall, Tignes is a brilliant choice for a group ski holiday: reliable snow, huge ski area, great facilities, and a fun atmosphere. I’d happily return, especially for another February trip.

Such a vast area that accommodates for all abilities and age groups.

Fab that you can ski right from door step and ski to nearby resorts.

Plenty of nightlife too.

Just fab.

Great ski conditions
in April,fantastic ski area and lift system lots of good restaurants to suit all budgets.

Great place to go skiing. Expensive but well worth it. Everywhere in France is expensive. However, this place and similar to the area have added bonus that you could drive there from England.

This was my second times to Tignes with my wife, a complete beginner, although better resorts for beginners out there, the vairied avdanced and beginner slopes was perfect for both of us. The accommodation was basic but good and as good as ski in/out. The apres was excellent with easy access to get to the Folie Douce and Val D'Isere. The off piste was varied but even with it being late March was some good powder up at the tops. Overall, would go back and would recommend to my friends.

Excellent ski range and guaranteed snow throughout the season. Apres Ski good with Folly Douce and CocoRico

Great resort for skiers wanting a wide range of options. Excellent value for money.
Early season the resort is quiet, but open lifts when conditions allow.

Fab resort! So accessible with easy and efficient lifts across the wider area. A few more bouncing apres bars in Val Claret would be welcomed- overall, for Easter, it's a perfect resort with bags of snow!

Really great first ski trip and I am going back every year. The ski lifts were great and there were so many runs to choose from

I had a lovely time visiting Tignes and skiing at 3,500ft and La Grand Motte. The runs are nicely groomed, my favourite was Genepy which has done amazing views when the weather is sunny! I recommend staying in Val Claret, there are lots of good bars for Aprés and it’s home to my favourite nightclub Avant Garde!! I can’t wait to go back and ski again, I already miss it.

Been many times. Great snow as always. Not the cheapest area, with lift passes €75/day, but you do get a vast area to ski in.

Val Claret with easy ski-in ski-out access is the ultimate place to stay in Tignes. You are able to access both whole of Tignes and Val D'Isere ski area in no time with a great lift system. Taking the Feniculaire up the Grande Motte and skiing the "Decente" and then "Cirse" is hard to top.

Tignes is a fantastic resort with access to a huge area. You never seem to wait long for a lift even at busy times. Lots of choice of runs and free beginner lifts mean you can go with a mixed ability group and everyone has something to ride. There is a good amount of affordable accommodation, the only slight downside is the longer transfer compared with some other resorts, but the high altitude is somewhat a factor in that, and the high altitude also give a really good long season.

We visited Tignes for European Snow Pride and had a fantastic time. We have been going yearly for a few years now. Tignes has a great variety of runs for all levels, some of our group are beginners. The ski school is fantastic with very friendly instructors. There are a number of valleys connected so there lots of great runs to choose from. Food can be quite expensive but that is to be expected in the mountains.

Tignes is an incredible resort for a group of friends. I did an intro to backcountry trip there and exploring some of the quieter areas outside of the lift zones was mega.

It’s easy to get to and there is so many accomodation options.
It’s our 3rd time visiting!

I have been skiing in Tignes since 1988, so thats 38 years, I do try other places, but I keep comming back, I have traveled by plane, (Lyon Grenoble and Chambery) car ( driven through the night after work, and driven down by day), we have used the snowtrain, and a Coach, to get here, I still get excited as I head up the final bit of road, its grown over the years, and become better, no more crossing the main road to get to the Aeroski lift, (now renamed Toviere), truly a ski in and out sort of place now, I even tried to learn to snowboard here, it has great biginners sloaps in La Lac and Val Claret,
The free busses get me about, when im tired out, and they run during the evening too, food is great in France , and Tignes is no exception, the lift system is modern, reliable and fast, and as for blues crusing, its a paradise. The ease of getting about on the snow, to the App on my phone telling me whats open, means your skiing in a top resort, with World class facilities. did I mention the lovely snow, at 1550m to 3456m its snow sure. So yes its my happy place, a winter wonderland with white Chocolate sprinkles on and a bit of skiing aswell.

Great resort, a range of options for different abilities, good apres and night life. Would recommend and will be back!

Have skied Tignes May bank holiday weekend several times and it has been great. Clearly snow reducing as late in the season but always the backup of the glacier. Have always been able to ski back to the village albeit snow is slushy in the afternoon lower down. Not too busy and lift queues minimal
