Tignes Reviews & Ratings

In my experience the runs are incredibly and therefore its best to be out as early as possible as a lot of runs turn into mogul fields by midday.

Amazing and reliable snow, friendly staff and good ski schools. The snow was amazing but snowed so much sometimes it was hard to ski! Good variety of slopes and easy access to surrounding ski areas such as val claret from le lac and val dsere.

Split in 4 villages my experience is split between La Lac and Val Claret
At 2000m+ its virtually snow sure all season and easy access between the resorts with regular buses early to late, through the day.
Access to Val DIsere is extremely easy but returning to La Lac is a Black Run so some prefer to use the gondola back down.
Loads of places to eat, great coffee stops and very much pub vibes for Apres. In comparison to other large resorts in the Alps, you get good value for money for food and drink.

Literally only downside for international travellers is that the nearest airport is 3/4hrs bus away, but its the price to pay for a quality, snow sure, vibrant resort.

Would recommend anyone who has planned a trip to download the offical Tignes app before you go, gives regular updates, live webcams, events etx

Amazing resort for families or to go with friends.

Apres is amazing but all food and drinks are expensive, so as long as you are willing to spend money you will have a great time.

Ski pass is also expensive but great that you can access Val DIsere!

Negatives include not many trees although I appreciate that cant be helped. Also, I wouldnt say its very beginner friendly as not many greens and greens that they do have are not easily accessible and you often have to get up the mountain via harder runs first.

The tignes ski area - espace Killy - is where I have done most of the skiing in my life and I keep coming back because I love it. With an incredibly vast and diverse ski area, it has it all. In terms of groomed run, I would say it is beginner friendly but not beginner centric, with lots of the key runs to ski back into the villages being Blacks and Reds. Throughout the season the park goes through lots of changes, however their are two main ones depending on which pass you have access to, both providing beginner parks all the way up to XL slopestyle lines. The Apres is phenomenal, starting at follie deuce then skiing down to Coco ricos is the way forward, regardless if youre staying in tignes or in Val DIsere.

Overall this resort has a very good amount of runs with easy access to Val d'Isère. Unfortunately there wasn't great weather while I was there however the runs were kept in good condition and higher lifts were opened in short burst during breaks in the weather to keep challenging parts of the resort open. Apres had a live band and was very good despite the high drinks prices. Overall a very good resort high enough to maintain good snow quality.

I have been going to tignes for roughly 7years now for 1 week annually , staying in tignes 2100 (there is a tignes 1800m and Les breivers 1500m). The variety that the resort offers is incredible! Its suitable for beginners all the way to experts who want to free ride off piste. The lifts are fast and up to date. There is one area with 3500m and a lot of skiing that is 2500m+, ensuring snow during the ski season. The food and cafes offer plenty of options on and off the slopes and many of the accommodations can be ski in and out at all the accommodation locations if you want lunch to yourself. Highly recommend this place! Tignes links to multiple other areas such as Val Dsaire which is a very desirable ski location. As well as being able to get a shuttle bus from tignes to val claret sich is more of a party place than tignes 2100. Its a great family friendly resort with something for everyone. The apres are more pub based with live music on all the time, however as it gets later (roughly 10pm) djs come on and the place livens up at tonne.
Overall tignes is a great are to ski for every skier, if your a park skier, back country skier, ski tourer or just your regular groomer skier, there is something for you!

What can I say Tignes is part of one of the best skiing areas in the world and along with Val disere makes for a fantastic winter sports experience
The 300km pistes are top notch and blasting down some of the big motorway runs to clear the remnants of yesterdays apres first thing in the morning is fantastic, move up the mountain and there are some sublime reds and blacks to drop you down Les Brevieres at the bottom of the valley and thats before lunch, the standard of mountain restaurant youll find in Tignes is superb however you may need to book at peak times and they can be very expensive, a trip back to resort could save you money on food.
The apres in Tignes is excellent and a trip to La Folie Douce is a must but dont miss the last lift up tommeusses or youll be paying for a taxi back from Valdisere,
Accommodation is what you would expect from a purpose built resort.
All in all a fantastic world class resort and needs a visit at least once in your life!

Family friendly but also good places to party. Awesome frozen lake and some real nice runs to hit. Perfect for a week if you dont want to go to the more crowded 3 valleys

Love skiing in Tignes, however is a much smaller ski area compared to the 3 valleys. Have been some amazing times skiing over to Valdiesere as they are so close it is really easy.

Tignes has always been one of my favourite ski resorts, great snow conditions even at the end of the season,the lift system is very up to date and efficient.The Pistes /parks are always well prepared .
Tignes has always been a resort for die hard skiers,things seem to be changing a bit and more leading to the luxury end of the ski market with new hotels /accommodation popping up.
Hopefully this will not price out all the die hard skiers that have always appreciated this great resort.

Great ski area. Often the piste runs are a little trickier than other areas. Everyone is very friendly and kind. Great area for food.. particularly like the steak place and Juliette23 in Tignes le lac area

I loved the skiing at tignes. The slopes were very well connected with chairlifts allowing you to ski at many different places with the same lift pass, including val claret and val disere. The runs were relatively quiet and lift queues were on the whole quite short (except for the connecting lift from folie douce to the top of tignes at 4:30pm). All the runs had great snow quality and the ski in/ski out was fantastic. Accommodation options were good with lots of apartments in the area. Eating out options were good but not an amazing array of different types of restaurants.

It was my favourite resort to date and Ive been skiing for 15 years, the runs where fantastic and very well connected, the apres ski was well good, the only downside is there isnt many tree runs if thats what your into, but the powder and off piste was amazing as well. There is plenty of option for places to eat and if you get the lifts to the top of the glacier the views are amazing.

Great resort, connection to Val d'Isere can be affected by bad weather or wind. Connections to Lavachet area was limited when we were there so could only easily access 1 side of the resort. App was hopeless, Val d'Isere app was better.

The whole Espace Killy ski zone is amazing and Tignes is an excellent option for families and groups looking for a quieter trip than val d'isere. To save money, staying in le lac, tignes 1500 and 1800 are also great options with great links to the main ski area.

Book well in advance for good accommodation prices.
Make use of the bus service, can be a total life saver.
Save money at lunch by bringing food out, as there's not a huge amount of evening restaurant choices!
Slopes are more technical than the listing would suggest I.e blues that should be reds and so on.
Very friendly town, great people!
Head to Tigne spirit for rentals they're super chilled and can recommend good bars and restaurants!
