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.

We stayed in a hotel at the bottom of the ski slope, so it wasnt far to the lifts, they had a sauna and steam room. The town was lovely with plenty of bars and restaurants but I would recommend booking as they get full. Ski runs were great plenty of room for an intermediate like myself.

Good resort, slightly more expensive than some of the others, but a good amount of runs at each level. Some lengthier runs as well which was nice. Had a few lessons here as well which were very useful. A good amount of accommodation options to suit all budgets as well

TIGNES is a fantastic resort for a wide range of abilities. I went march 2024 with a large group of friends (25) and most of us were enjoying the best week of off piste skiing weve ever had. We paid a local guide to give us an avalanche safety course, learn how to tour and took us to some amazing places with untouched snow. Some of our group were beginner- intermediate and they did not do the off piste skiing but there was still plenty on-piste and fun to be had at apres!

Nice ski area with good range of easy and medium runs. Lift system good and mostly efficient and funiculars a fun addition.

Went mid December so snow was thin and limited. Very icy in the lower sections especially in the tree lined runs. As a result snow cannons on near constantly which was slightly annoying.
Most challenging runs closed due to conditions and limited in number anyway. Otherwise the high up, especially glacier skiing was largely very nice. Loads of nice wide cruisy blues for some good carving and a selection of really nice runs.

Limited off piste yet what we did or saw was largely sketchy due to limited snow cover and rocky terrain. Im sure there is better stuff out there for the more adventurous and definitely later in the season.

The town itself is ok with a nice range of bars and restaurants but limited options for on piste après of any decent quality save folie and cocos. Accommodation was decent enough.

Overall not bad at all. Any downsides due to time of year and conditions.

I have skied in Tignes several times over the years and keep finding myself going back time after time. The pistes are excellent with a huge variety and differing levels of complexity. The village is perfect with great apres and family activities alike. I would 100% recommend Tignes

Stayed in Tignes 2100.

The food options were good, although the town isnt huge, there was a variety of choice along with a couple of nice bars to go in and some nightlife if thats your thing.

Lots of places to rent boards with loads of options available. Very helpful and can change and try different boards if you want to.

Our accommodation in Tignes was good, clean and easy. Not the comfiest though (but this is only one spot)

You can ski within Tignes and Val Disere here so there is lots of mountain range to cover from greens to blacks. Lots of nice places along the way to stop for a hot chocolate too for when you want a break. The lifts are so easy to navigate and very efficient.

I would visit Tignes again. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here.

Very big resort at a high altitude so snow is guaranteed all season. Good variety of everything from beginner to expert slopes.
Higher altitude means that there's not many trees runs, but the few there are really good.

The aprés is some of the best around. Most places offer a happy hour providing cheaper drinks in the early evening. There's a good range of pubs and clubs to cater for everyone

Accomodations are plentiful ranging from 5 star hotels and luxury chalets to self catered apartments to suit all budgets.

High up so snow is usually guarenteed. Great quality skiing. Lift pass allows you to visit Val T which is a bit more expensive.
Home to the steepest and longest run in Europe which is a lot of fun.
Has a folie douce which is great for apres, there are more places for apres but they're quite spread out.

Ski signage - good, restaurants - great selection. Lots of runs for all types of skier... watch out as it's a resort that tries to up the game a bit on difficulty.

So many runs means the listed are a bit quieter once you get away from the village - well posted, fast. Minimal queuing. Apres ski was a bit far away from our accommodation and hard to get home from, and too many people.

Great resort and ski area - lots to do across the villages of Tignes from Val Claret to the lower villages. Theres a variety of accommodation options and plenty of shops for basics or ski kit. Its accessible via Bourg Saint Maurice or an easy self drive.

I did a ski season in Tignes and couldnt recommend it higher for skiers of any level. Great areas for small children and first time skiers to get a feel for the mountain, plus loads of extra activities for kids that dont want to ski all day too! Trampolining, swimming, playing in igloos - even a soft play in the neighbouring resort Val Disere! For more experienced skiers/boarders, there are plenty of on and off piste runs available both short and long. The apres ski is also amazing with options like Folie Douce and Bollin for a mid ski sesh or Cocorico and Loop Bar once youre finished for the day. Plenty of restaurants to choose from too - burgers, Mexican, Italian, traditional French you name it! Plus plenty of bars throughout to keep the apres ski going throughout the night! Would highly recommend for families, young people and any avid skiers or partiers!

Large ski resort, many posted. We were able to explore new areas and new runs for the first couple of days across the different valleys. Good après ski and on mountain eating options.

Was a good place to learn to snowboard. Good instructors - I think the school was ESF. Always had a lot of fun at Après (Coco Ricos). Some good options for food on the slopes and at the resort, but food was quite expensive. Also had a SPAR next to the accommodation which was good to grab some groceries from. There was a good range of slopes, had the baby ones which were ideal for the first few days but plenty of blue runs for myself when I felt more confident to get out and about. Accommodation was good for what I paid. Overall would recommend to young adults as a fun place to go with friends.
