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.

The resort is accessible from a range of airport including Lyon, Grenoble and Geneva which makes travel options more flexible and affordable. Once transferred to resort there is over 300km of piste to explore, with options to explore other areas such as Val dIsere connected by piste for intermediate/advanced skiers/snowboarders. Well pisted, the slope maintenance is good, and ski conditions are great, although wind can sometimes result in disruption/closure to lifts at the very top of the mountain. Accommodation options are varied, and there is something for everyone. The roads can be a little windy/icy but most accommodation is a short distance from the slopes. There are a range of food and drink options, and small supermarkets if self-catered is preferred.

Fantastic resort for all but Id say especially for young people (I.e. 20-30 range). Access to Val-dIsere is included with the lift pass, but if this is the Tignes selling point for you then be careful to go at a point in the season when the runs between Tignes and Val-dIsere are open. Great off-piste as well, get a guide for a day to explore this more.

It was a good experience and the slopes were amazing with long blue runs for the skiers who like to listen to music and just enjoy the scenery. Id definitely recommend it. The whole place could do better with food options .

Tignes is an overall well rounded resort, whether staying in Val claret, le lac or brevieres there is something for everyone.
Brevieres is quaint, 1 lift up to le lac. Le lac is quite compact as is val claret but studio apartments are relatively good value for money. The ski area is unreal, driving over the dam is breathtaking. The slopes are wide and well groomed with something for everyone!

One of the most snow-sure places I've been to. The runs are long, wide (great if you're a snowboarder) and not too busy, even in peak season. Lift queues are reasonable and pretty quick. Lunch options on the slopes are great and Tignes is filled with terrific bars and restaurants for apres ski fun. I've been four times and would go back in a heartbeat.

Fantastic resort with a huge amount of terrain accessible, as well as other resorts. Really good off-piste terrain also and backcountry options. We had an amazing day with a guide who took us proper backcountry ski touring and we found some amazing terrain and snow. Fun resort with good apres scene.

Surely the best ski resort in the world!!?!!

The best range range of snow sure slopes, groomed, ungroomed and off piste. Completely beautiful mixture of high mountains and tree areas. Excellent quality guaranteed for all the critical elements of your trip.

Excellent tuition from small kids getting started to off piste with a world class competitor. My absolute favourite place in the world (and summer is pretty awesome too!)

My favourite resort however its all about the skiing. Its quite a snow sure resort. Lots of open runs to ski of varying degrees of difficulty. Long runs, well groomed, lots of snow. Centre is small and there is barely an adequate amount of restaurants and bars. There is a decent amount of different types of accommodation. You can get an area pass that include Val d`Isere - great for a totally different skiing experience.

Love Tignes. Snow sure with a varied and extensive ski area. Lots of options, so you can avoid doing the same routes day-in/day-out. Good for all abilities: some amazing long blue runs with spectacular scenery, plus challenging reds and blacks for those thrill seekers. Off-peak options too.
Even over the New Year holiday, the lift queues were fine, with options to find quieter areas.
The only downside is that its more expensive to eat out than, say, Austria or Italy but the quality of skiing makes up for that, in my opinion.

I have been coming back to Tignes year after year! Love Loop bar, probably one of the friendliest bars and great for live music in the alps!

Also there is a great selection of pistes/trials for all levels

Most hotels are ski in ski pit and how could I forget the Follie!

Tignes is one of the best places in Alps in my opinion

One of my favourite ski resorts - snow sure, varied pistes for all abilities. Never had to queue for long at lifts but lifts are all older without bubbles. This can become quite cold - especially when windy as resort is quiet exposed.

Tignes has plenty of variety for skiers of all levels. Lots of nice wide blues and reds for skiers of our level. Easy to get around with loads of food options on the slopes and in the various towns.

There is so much to do in Tignes we barely scratched the surface. Plenty of nice blues and reds to keep intermediates busy and access to Val Disere only adds to this. Lifts were all efficient and modern. Would say it is not the best resort for beginners though, need to be comfortable on blue runs at least the make the most of the ski area. Nightlife was great and apres was a lot of fun- Coco Rico and Folie Douce are a must. Plenty of eating options and accommodation available. Cant wait to go back!
