Tignes Ski Holidays

Tignes Ski Holidays

One half of the mighty Tignes-Val d'Isère power duo, high-altitude Tignes has one of the best snow records around. Sitting beneath the mighty Grande Motte glacier, this modern resort is one of our favourite crowd-pleasing resorts.

Explore the slopes

With beautiful slopeside accommodation, an excellent snow record and 300km of slopes to please everyone from young novices to powder-hungry pros, Tignes offers the ultimate in convenience and accessibility.

The excellent network of 71 lifts makes it easy to explore the valleys, peaks and villages of this spectacular ski area and at its pinnacle, the mighty Grande Motte glacier offers year-round skiing with jaw-dropping panoramas.

Advanced skiers and riders can take their pick of demanding black runs and some of the best off-piste terrain in the French Alps (with a guide). Try the challenging La Sache black descent or discover the steep off-piste gullies around La Grande Balme.

Enjoy the resort

Purpose-built for ease and comfort, modern Tignes is quite different in style to its sister resort of Val d'Isère. Especially popular with those looking for convenient access to the slopes, the resort is made up of a number of villages perched at varying altitudes. The two main hubs are Tignes Val Claret and Tignes Le Lac.

Tignes Val Claret, at 2,100m, enjoys the best access to the western slopes towards Val d'Isère and Grande Motte. Tignes Le Lac is just down the road and also offers excellent access to the ski area as well as a range of ski school options. The remaining villages are quieter and situated lower down the mountain but each has its own hub of shops, restaurants and bars. The sub resorts are well connected by a free shuttle service. 

Tignes is a lively resort, with an exciting choice of activities away from the slopes. Bun J Riding (a crazy combination of ski jumping, bungee jumping and zip wire), ice skating – the list is a long one. The après-ski scene is friendly with a great selection of restaurants, bars, live music venues and clubs spread throughout the two main resort hubs.  

Where to stay

Our diverse hand-picked selection includes the resort’s newest and most stylish 4 and 5-star hotels, luxury self-catering apartments and comfortable chalet-style residences offering unbeatable value for money. We also feature a small number of excellent chalets which are particularly well suited to larger families or small groups. 

Many of our picks have exceptional facilities and all are either ski-in/ski-out accommodation or situated just a short walk from the slopes.
