Tignes Reviews & Ratings

I have skied all over the alps but completed a ski season in Tignes. The ski area is one of the best, if not the best, in Europe - especially for advanced skiers. The run from the top of the glacier down to tignes is my favourite run in the world. Apres is fantastic with options like Cocoricos or Loop bar and there are some fantastic restaurants.

Really good ski terrain with a mix of groomed and ungroomed. Quite high so fairly snow sure. Two decent snow parks for jumps ect and some small xc runs. Key lifts can be very busy at peak hours but generally are not too bad. Lots of good restaurants on the slopes for drinks and food. Restaurants and bars in the towns ar busy but some some brilliant food.

Awesome resort. It is absolutely massive especially when you include val disare. The slopes are very well maintained and groomed but due to the popularity the main slopes can get quite moguly lower down in the afternoon. There are runs for all abilities and even shuttle buses between the neighbouring ski areas if there are not any runs for your ability to make it across. They have a couple of good park sections including a full-sized half pipe and even a pond skim competition around Easter.

Great early and late season skiing
Lifts are fast and efficient
Multiple routes to and from link resorts
Good food options and apres options at top and bottom of lifts

Wide range of accommodation pricing at all star levels

All round great resort

Tignes is a fantastic resort for skiers of any level. There is a massive skiiable area and a wide ranging variety of terrain difficulties. Experiencing the "over the top" lift for the first time can require a bit of bravery, especially in a windy day going from the tignes to Val D'Isere side but is something you wont forget. The resort offers lots of high altitude skiing, but the highest lifts are susceptable to being closed due to high winds. There are also oppertunities to ski down runs used in the olympics, and there are 2 large terrain parks with huge jumps for those freestyle lovers. There is a great Apre's ski scene, with cocorico's being a particular highlight, but make sure you get in there early and it can fill up quickly. The resort shuttle bus runs evey 10 minutes in the day, and throughout the night, so that you arent forced to finish your day by skiing back to your appartment. And also if you want to party into the night you can check out Tignes le Lac, tignes 1800, and tignes val claret without having to walk between them. There are lots of restraunt options, but it is worth booking into some of the nicer places as you may struggle to find a walk in table at peak times.

Huge area to ski with varied terrain. High altitude means very snowsure. Plenty of other activities available. Apres is great for both families and the booze loving crowd.
Plenty of snow school options.
Lifts are efficient and never really any ques

Had a great time snowboarding in Tignes, the apres was next level. So much of the mountain to explore. I was there a week and every day explored a different part of the mountain. Snow was also great in March.

I have stayed in Val Claret 3 years in a row now so I cant profess to know the resort intimately however, Im still going back, so must like it, right? Yeah, its ok.
Positives: Variety of pistes, convenience of accommodation near to slopes, snow surety, scenery is stunning
Negatives: Weather (when it comes in, it REALLY comes in!!), prices of.well, everything!, village not picturesque, some of accommodation is very small.

Look, I like it and enjoy it there but, had it not have been for the fact that I was there is a large group of families, I wouldnt go back. I cant quite put my finger on it except to say that it doesnt have the friendliness of Austria, the food of Italy or the prices ofactually, all ski resorts are expensive so cant really use that.

Top tip: Get the first Tuffs lift and get over to Val dIsere to ski the Olympic run before everyone else gets up. Totally worth the early morning for a quiet groomed, steep flyer.

Mega resort, simply huge.
Guaranteed great snow conditions, brilliant off-piste, even some trees if you look for them.
Great apres-ski vibe & rocking seasonnaires scene
If you're looking for some peace & quiet, nip down to Ste Foy

Great skiing, good for all levels of abilities plenty of restaurant and accommodation options aswell as accommodation

Great snow even in early spring. Off piste is great and the link to Val disere is brilliant. Food and accomodation can get expensive but compared to val disrere its not bad at all. Overall great experience and would recommend

Great for young people and big groups. Slopes were mostly poorly groomed and un groomed which made it more of an effort.

To me, Tignes Has always tried to advertise itself as the cool Sister of Val d'Isère, less concerned with looking pretty and more concerned with having fun. It has excellent accommodation options to suit most budgets, And has lots of buses running from Bourg Saint-Maurice. Combining ski areas with Val, It has one of the best ski areas in the Alps. Après bars make it very lively late into the evening, And the famous Val dIsere Fole Douche, Is only a short chair lift away, But make sure you dont get caught on the wrong side of the mountain because it is a long long bus journey back over.

I visited in October ( yes you can ski in the alps in October) to get some pre season skiing on the glacier.

To acess the glacier you take a funicular railway through the mountain. The skiing up top was great and you get so see lots of the professional teams ski slalom etc in preparation for the season. Quite extraordinary to watch so close from the lift when going up!

Came here as an absolute beginner, stayed at the Chalet Rosset, which was devine , great food , great staff, Room a little small , but lovely view. Not enough snow to ski in ski out.

As a beginner the free lifts within the area around Tignes le Lac were brilliant , giving access to several blue easy to moderate blue runs, without the need for a ski pass, 10/10 for this. The green run marked in the village itself is more like a moderate/hard short blue, which feels very daunting as a beginner.

Did 2 days with the ski school, evolution, not a great experience, an opinion share by several of us adults in the ski school group I was in, as a former coach of a different sport I was pretty disappointed and shocked by the attitude of the coaches. So I only did 2 days, then set about teaching myself.
.
This was help greatly by the free lifts and access to easy/moderate blues. The green is a BLUE....

Are out once at the Pork Restaurant, stunning food and service.

All in all a good introduction to skiing , facility and run wise, the green runs away from the town accessed by lifts are superb .

Love this place! Super good vibes and a variety of slopes and fun slopes !
Very lively and never disappoints, my brother did a ski season there and loves this resort with all his heart



The one downside is the black run home when you live on a certain side can get quite busy ! And the après isnt close enough

Fantastic resort in terms of vibe, scenery and terrain. Tignes is a skiers paradise for intermediate and advanced skiers. With extensive terrain linked to Val d'Isere, it boasts a massive 300km of piste offering long runs, challenging blacks, and incredible off-piste opportunities. The reliable high altitude snow makes it a great choice for early and late season trips.

However, beginners beware! While there are some manageable blues, the dedicated beginner areas are limited, and some blues can be trickier than expected. Après-ski is lively, especially in Val Claret, but expect it to be on the pricier side. Accommodation often offers ski-in/ski-out convenience, which is a major perk. Overall, Tignes excels for experienced skiers seeking vast terrain, reliable snow, and a lively atmosphere.

I was on a ski trip organised from university. The skiing was truly amazing in tignes. There is so much to discover, I was able to go a different route every day and for my 2 week vacation I still couldnt go to every route there. Apres is great too.

From beginners through to extreme skiers there is so much area no chance of being bored also even in poor snow years there is always plenty of the white stuff

Really good skii resort for Apres Ski and food. Lots of cheap accommodation and skii resort has good balance of pisted different level runs for all abilities. Loved it here!
