What Skiers Say About Tignes

Tignes attracts primarily intermediate to advanced skiers and snowboarders, with reviewers consistently noting the vast ski area, high altitude ensuring reliable snow coverage, and strong connections to Val d'Isère. The après-ski scene, particularly venues like Cocorico's and Folie Douce, receives frequent praise. Multiple users mention well-groomed pistes, efficient lift systems, and minimal queuing outside peak periods. Common criticisms include high prices for food, drink, and lift passes, limited terrain for complete beginners (many greens require blues to access), and a lack of tree-lined runs due to the high altitude. Several reviewers describe the resort architecture as functional rather than picturesque, and conditions can become icy or mogul-heavy by late afternoon.

Was super cool, lots of slopes and well maintained. Lots of parties and bars on the slopes, the prices are as expected, a bit higher but you are also in a middle of nowhere so make sense

This is a fantastic report that links with Val disere making is a fantastic ski area. 2 hours drive from Chambery airport makes it easily accessible but remember to sort out transfers as they are very limited and expensive unless you choose for a package.

For my week the snow was amazing with powder everywhere! By the end of the week I was a broken man skiing every minute that I could. The slopes were amazing and lift efficiently was great. There were some busy times where we had to queue but not for long.

We stayed at Le Lavachet just down from Tignes Le Lac. This is a nice small resort and walking distance to the bigger resort of Le Lac. Highly recommend!

We have always loved visiting Tignes. There is a huge expanse of slopes, easy connections over to Val DIsere and a great blend of restaurants and bars. The lake is beautiful and add additional magic to the areas. There are also plenty of other activities within the resort should it not be a skiing day.

Overall a good resort, split over three / four sub-resorts which vary in their overall appeal and facilities. The Tignes-Val dIsere region is large and has a large range of skiing options with decent lift access. The resort is also high and therefore relatively snow sure. I would recommend staying in Tignes Le Lac or Tignes Val Claret although Tignes - Boisses and Le Breviere offer a smaller village experience.

Always found tignes bare and lifeless on the mountain as no trees due to its height.
Lifts are old and slow and not a cover in sight when weather really bad.
Saying that had an excellent week there in January not a cloud in the sky and max -13 which is great for that time of year!

Had a wonderful week with fresh powder and well maintained runs. Lots of apres ski options like the folle douce which was great fun as well as many family options. Lots of reasonably priced restaurants and cafes to have lunch and dinner in and a well stocked supermarket.

Awesome place and awesome scenery, would definitely go back! Tignes offers amazing skiing, a lively après scene, and year-round activities. Its high altitude guarantees great snow, but it can be pricey and crowded.

It had been a few years since I had been skiing and I found there was a good range of runs to ease back into it. Apres ski was brilliant.

As someone who hadnt been skiing for about 20 years, I went to Tignes last year and LOVED it!! Am completely hooked and need to go skiing again soon. We had really good powder, theres an excellent range of slopes- plenty of greens and blues for me and reds and blacks for other members of our party further up the mountain. The blue that runs all the way from top to bottom is brilliant, I felt like I was flying!! Ski hire and accommodation was ski in ski out so dead easy. Ill book lessons next time

I went to Tignes with family the last week of January and it was perfect. There are plenty of runs which are particularly good for advanced skiers (loads of reds, decent amount of blues and blacks) as well as great off piste routes. There arent that many green runs so wouldnt recommend coming if you are a beginner unless youre happy to stick to the same runs.We stayed at Club Med which is ski-in ski-out and highly recommend! You can join lessons at any level, go on daily snow guides or pay for private. The hotel has brilliant options for couples, singles or families with great facilities (hot tub, sauna, yoga, spin etc).

My first time skiing ever and it couldn't have been better at Tignes! Everything was convenient, instructor was great, and the slopes were really varied. You could also easily get to Val D'Isere if you wanted to!
