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.

Tignes is a great cheaper alternative to val dsiere - you can visit the resort and slopes but for much cheaper stay in Tignes! The town is smaller so dining out is more limited, but it's a fun resort and worth the money!

We stayed in a catered chalet in Tignes-les-Brevières. Lovely hosts, love Tignes as a resort. Would say that where we stayed was a quieter part of the resort with less options of dinner out and nightlife but a nice choice and certainly cheaper than others! We were a group of boarders and loved the fact the links between resorts were almost never ending, had a lot of fun exploring multiple resorts and runs. Would definitely return

The ski schools in Tignes were so fun and really helpful to build up the confidence to ski on more difficult slopes. The slope conditions were great during my stay, albeit slightly icy at times.
In terms of entertainment, Tignes had quite a few options, whether that be live music at Apres or events during the trip like club nights in Val Claret.
Food and drink in Tignes was expensive but of great quality. There are options to dine at the top of the mountains as well as in the village, both offering spectacular views. There are also multiple supermarkets at a reasonable price.
The accommodation was excellent and there were so many options in Val Claret and Le Lac which were affordable and close to ski lifts and restaurants.
Overall, an excellent location!

Great resort with access over into Val dIsere. I wouldnt say its great for beginners - progress round the resort relies on some more advanced runs. Resort atmosphere good. Beautiful scenery with a lake to walk round or across when frozen.
Great at Christmas / new year.

Went to Tignes for second week of the season. Was lovely and quiet with runs and lifts opening every day. Apres and restaurant choices also improved during the week as more people arrived and more opened up. Great snow for so early in the year and plenty of quiet runs

Came during early season (2nd week of December) when very quiet apart from university trips. Found the resort to be quiet, pistes and lifts also quiet. The groomed runs were packed very hard and therefore the pisted runs were only ok. Off piste had little snow and wasn't an option. Only 2/3 of the Tignes Val disere resort were open meaning after about 3 days we managed to do every piste, making the next 3 days quite repetitive. The actual resort in Val claret was lovely and quiet, cheap food and drink for Savoyarde Alps. The apres ski is great with cocoricos and folie douce both high quality and good value.

One of my favourite resorts, large ski area which is particularly good for snowboarders. Great amount of Mountain huts and restaurants for breaks with dome good cost friendly options!
Apres vibe is great and buzzing.
My only negative would be how busy the pistes can be.

A resort that caters for all levels, from the ski tranquil for beginners to fantastic red runs off the Grand Motte. Lift system excellent. Up and over lift (Lezier) is an experience. Loop Bar in le lac is great for apres ski. The crepe concessions were popular with kids and adults alike.

Tignes is a very good resort for off piste and advanced riders who want to ski the entire day. The resort is not primarily fir families but it works.

Tignes is a beautiful resort whist has amazing views and great variation of pistes, the accommodation was lovely and all very close to lifts / buses. Both le lac and val claret were great including the bars and restaurants and apres ski is a must, we had the best times in cocoricos and Bollin.

Tignes has access to a great ski area that is pretty snow sure with access via a funicular to the glacier.
The naturide blacks are un pisted and offer a challenge to advanced skiers and boarders.
If you want you can also enjoy skiing the world cup face de belvedere which takes you into val d'isere.
If you want some good apres ski head to the folie douce just don't miss the lifts back to resort.

Awesome resort with a lot of terrain to explore. After decent snowfall, there are fantastic off-piste riding opportunities often with only a short hike.

Lively Aprés scene with options for happy hour drinks and food.

Can easily spend a week exporting the ski area and finding powder runs off-piste when the snow is good.

Do note that when there hasn't been fresh snow, crowds can cause groomed runs to be worn down. Warmer weather will also bring icy conditions.

Overall had an excellent time!

May bank holiday weekend and a last minute trip to Tignes - just about the only resort still open.
Early mornings a littel icy and late afternoons rather slushy, but inbetween absolutely wonderful conditions. Overnight snow meant that there was plenty of fresh snow on and off piste, but by 10am the sun was out and a jacket was optional. A lot of accomodation and shops had closed up for the season, so the slopes were fairly clear. Some areas were close and a little planning was needed to make sure that there were lifts open to get you back, but it was still possible to ski across to Val D'Isere without needing a taxi for the return journey.
Evenings were rather quiet with a lack of people and most restauarnts closed, but overall a brilliant weekend.
