A brief overview
Tignes boasts year-round skiing and snowboarding and has some of
the most exciting and challenging ski terrain outside the Three Valleys. A
first-rate snow record, with enormous variety of both on and off piste skiing.
Linking directly into the 300km 'Espace Killy' with an extensive lift system -
it's a quick drop over the hill into neighbouring Val D'Isere. An area lift
pass allows for a day trip to The Three Valleys or Paradiski areas. Great for
all abilities, this really is a resort with something for everyone.
