Why choose Tignes?
Tignes shares one of the great ski areas of the Alps with Val d'Isère: 300 km of linked slopes for all levels. The resort's altitude and its glacier give it very good snow cover.
In Val Claret you stay at 2,100 m, at the foot of the slopes. The district gives access to the Grande Motte glacier, and the Tufs chairlift opens the link to Val d'Isère.
There is life off the slopes too: spas, restaurants, bars and shops in winter; hiking, mountain biking, golf and water sports on the lake in summer.
