Great ski resort for young, old, beginners and experts!
We spent a week in Tignes and had great snow, you could ski almost everywhere, both on-piste and next to the pistes. The slopes are nice and wide, which helps reduce crowds. We never had to wait longer than 5-10 minutes for a lift! Overall a super experience in Tignes.
Incredible skiing!
For both experienced or less experienced skiers, Tignes has skiing for everyone. Walk out your door and immediately you're on the slopes! Few queues at the lifts can handle large capacity. A beautiful and very extensive ski area - miss the trees at this atltitude though! Blue runs are pretty spread out in area so that children and beginners can also get around the ski area and explore. It is a typical French ski resort with high-rise concrete blocks, but the center is pleasant with nice shops, cafes and restaurants.
All about the skiing
Don't go to Tignes if you like pretty little mountain villages - it's ugly, full of concrete blocks and purpose built infrastructure - not really its fault as the old village was destroyed! Do go to Tignes if you like skiing and doing lots of it! Linked to Val d'isere, this immense ski area just seems to go on and on and then if you go off-piste too it seems like you're skiing across the whole Alps! If you're an intermediate skier and are not keen on icy blacks then plan your routes carefully - a couple of times we found ourselves up top with only black runs as a choice to get down!
Skiing paradise
As you would expect from a high level ski resort, the skiing is just awesome. Compared to other large ski areas, you don't get teh feeling you spent your day on a lift going somewhere. I always felt like i was skiing just to get the most out of the slope! Tignes is French so food is expensive, drinks even more expensive and the accommodation - well calling it basic is a complement. There isnt really anything charming about being Tignes, its not particuarly pretty except the fact that there is always snow! its so high, you 're always above the tree line - go into the Val d'Isere area if you want to find a FEW trees!
Endless skiing in a lunar landscape
Skiing into May on the glacier! Great experience - we went at the end of the season - skied on the glacier and water skied on the lac in the village centre! We made it across - a lot of others didn't - very entertaining ! Great links with Val d'isere's ski area so even the better skiers in our group didn't get bored.
