It nearly had it all. With a near year round snow blanket the village of Tignes has one of the best if not best snow records of any resort on the planet. With high altitude skiing the main village is located at 2000m and gives access to some of the best groomed ski pistes in the Alps. The Grande Motte glacier offers both summer and winter skiing.
Being linked to the famous Val D’Isere and offering 300km of pistes and 78 ski lifts the Espace Killy is named after the famous skier Jean Claude Killy.
The down side of Tignes is the architecture & effective atmosphere this creates. Some of the original 1960’s concrete leviathans have been cladded with material more alpine in style but this does little to hide the original design theme. However there are choices lower down in Tignes Les Boisses (aka Tignes 1800) and Tignes Les Brévières. These offer chalets hotels and apartments alike and are well connected to the main resort.
