Tignes Reviews & Ratings

It was amazing !! The slopes were nice and quiet even though it was a busy week in the mountains. It was great for all abilities

good resort everything very closely situated . the runs were initially did have some moguls , but pistes based everyday . good weather . not too crowded short queues for the lifts. Good variety of runs for all. Really enjoyed our stay here.

Great resort. Have returned many times and even named my dog after my favourite run in the world The Sache. She is a black springerpoo.

Cracking skiing - loads of varied pistes and amazing glacier with incredible views
.
All in an excellent resort

Best ski resort our accom was so cheap and right above a supermarket and right next to the lifts and we could ski to val disere and best of all folie douce !! And coco ricos amazing

Tignes was definitely the best resort I’ve been to! The ski instructor I had was so good! I learned to ski off piste in the pow, it was such an amazing experience. The speed ski, Follie and Cocoricos were so good! The restaurants and supermarkets in the village were great. Breakfast at The Corner, Val Claret was just sensational!!

So good!!! We had Tignes and Val D’isere lift passes so massive resort and loads of skiing to be done. We skied roughly 100km a day and did not get bored! Loved the funiculaire, and the red run right at the top!! Loved folie duce as well as lovely restaurants all around tignes and val disere and easy access around with free shuttles or taxis. Great ski school instructor too. Will definitely be returning - the slopes were quiet and massive and great weather conditions.

Just back from a week at Tignes 2100 with a group of 8. We had a fantastic time with a mixture of skiers from complete beginner to advanced. Those of us who had lessons used Oxygéne (we also all hired our equipment through them) and were very happy with our experience. The slopes were rarely too busy, and were generally very well maintained where weather conditions allowed. There were plenty of great bars around, and food options were surprisingly decent in le lac itself; we had 3 really amazing meals at a Mexican, a steakhouse, and an Asian tapas place. Foile a douce was unsurprisingly underwhelming, but cocoricos and le bollin were aprés highlights. It’s an expensive resort but it suited our needs very well.

The best apres at cocoricos! Lovely pistes with a broad range of blues and reds and some blacks in there as well. Lifts are never busy and very efficient. We stayed in a lovely ski in ski out hotel.

It was amazing, ended up booking another flight to stay 2 nights longer after apré. Best decision!!

Cheap accom to be had in Lavochet. 8 mins walk to the Loop bar and loads places on the mountain. Snowsure and great late season resort. Wallet friendly also apart from car parking and increasing cost of ski passes

Fantastic for mixed ability and extremely easily navigable. Perfect size for 1-2 weeks exploration and great facilities in Town and nearby Val Disere. Can be a bit touristy and isn't particularly aesthetically pleasing. Off piste is very accessible but perhaps lacks variety. (Very easy or very hard).

Tignes was a good all round resort. Great range of runs, bars and ski school options. Accommodation a wide range of ski abilities.
A lot of apres bars (apart from la folie) didn't accept kids... Not ideal! Good lifts!
Would recommend private ski school options for kids as the range is huge.

Went to Tignes for my stag do after skiing in Val Thorens for most of my life. Tignes is fantastic, and would highly recommend for apres, the slopes and food!

Amazing!!! the runs are beautiful, love that you can ski from val to tignes, can do different runs each day, burritos are insanely tasty, apres is out of this world, one of the best places to apres that I've been

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.
