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.

Great snow and great variety of runs for all levels. Resort is tired. Eating out lacked variety. Great links to local resort and bus back option if you get delayed.

Amazing variety of terrain and huge ski area. Altitude makes it very snow sure. Probably not the best for timid learners but absolutely great for anyone with even a small amount of experience. Not the most aesthetic of resorts but you're there to ski

Loved it, not as pretty as Val D’Isere but the runs connect there and Val Thorens. Amazing skiing, great for an intermediate such as myself to progress. Tignes is split over three areas, so doesn’t have a single central hub, and that can mean a bit of walking about. But it’s nice, with lots of good food options etc.

Tignes le lacs slopes were much quieter than I had expected at New Year and Lift queues were reasonable. New Year concert and fireworks were all free. Would definitely choose Tignes again for a New Year break.

Premiere Neige is a brilliant time to go. Lower parts aren't open but what is is deserted wide open pistes with no-one on them. Get the area pass to include Val d'Isere. Unfortunately need to do this independantly as tour operators don't start until later.

Huge fan of Tignes as the OG all-rounder - massive area to explore when you connect with Val D'Isere, great options for both spring and winter skiing & of course incredible apres at Kokorico.

Top tier.

We loved our ski-in ski-out apartment in Val Claret, which was newly renovated and opposite to CocoRico.
Transfer was a nightmare as there was a landslide and took almost 10 hours to get there. And then on our way back, almost missed our flight due to an accident.
The ski school instructor was very professional and friendly. I progressed a lot in one week.
Some slopes can get very busy, especially if you go to apre and try to catch the lift before it closes.
Overall, we really enjoyed our time at Tignes, and we’ll definitely go back.

Had a blast, great place to ski, especially the glacier and the olympic runs. Blagged my way onstage to play guitar at Cocorico, had a fantastic time. The beer is a little pricey, but generally a brilliant resort. Plenty of runs, fun terrain, good off-piste (even some tree runs at lower altitude). 10/10 would ski again.

Good resort to visit in December as there is usually good snow and before Christmas it is quiet. Reasonably large ski area including Val d'Isere. Good selection of red and black runs. We only ski on-piste but snow was well prepared. It needs more picnic areas as there are only 4 in the whole area and one was closed all week for use by racers. We ski lots and carry our own packed lunches so don't use the mountain restaurants - its too expensive when you ski 4 or 5 weeks each winter. Good range of self-catering accomodation. We particularly liked that we got free ski passes as we are over 75!

Really enjoyed Tignes - staying in Le Lac. Wide variety of runs either staying close to ‘home base’ as we did some days to collect a member of the group from ski school at lunch, or to venture further and explore the wider area. Not much in the way of trees unless you get over to Val D’isere, but some great runs that side - and the iconic up and over lift.
Obviously good apres at Folie and some good spots in town for sundowner beers (shout out to Marmotts) with live music).

Top place - great for a mixed group.
