Tignes ski resort guide

Tignes ski information

Tignes is a high altitude resort offering great skiing and boarding for all levels as well as some of the best lift accessed off-piste areas in the world. We offer accommodation in Tignes Val Claret and Tignes Le Lac which are linked by a regular ski bus and both have easy access to the slopes. Val Claret, the highest part of the resort, has a number of shops, restaurants and bistros and is the starting point for the funicular leading up to the glacier. Tignes Le Lac has a twice weekly market, shops, bars, restaurants and a sports centre. There are slopes leading directly back to both resorts.

Discover winter with a difference at Crystal Riders' Lodge Tignes, our sister comany's new chalet experience.
