In a nutshell
A great place for a winter holiday
Relaxion after a hard day on the slopes
Sam_Hall Says: Im sure that anyone that has ever hit the slopes, be it on skis or on a board, can agree with me when i say you end up aching. I could barely move my arms and shoulders after the countless hours of trying to get up on my heel edge from the floor. You get to the stage when...
Luchonda Says: Due to its altitude Tignes has a very reliable snow record which, after recent seasons of reduced snowfall, has encouraged people to choose higher mountain resorts. According to 'The good Ski & Snowboarding Guide 2005' Tignes/Val d'Isere is one of only two ski areas in...

PolinaS Says: Things to do in Tignes?! Skiing, snowboarding, walking..... just to have fun and great days on the snow!
Whether experienced skier or not!
andrewyong Says: Take the furnicular train up to Grand Motte peak and either ski/snowboard all the way down or enjoy another hot chocolate at the restaurant. There's an igloo there, accessible only if you ski down from the restaurant to the place.
andrewyong Says: I hope I got the French bit right... that's "hot chocolate for one, please". I enjoyed my solo hot chololate experience, sitting by the piste and enjoy the scene.

elanis Says: Apparently it is a local custom to put a large piece of granite in the oven overnight until it is searingly hot, then cook assorted raw meats on it. A fun and sociable evening that is involved and rewarding. The beef is good as it can be as rare as you like, but the prawns...
La Bouida: Try the Clocherade - difficult !
Chris_T Says: La Bouida is a typical Savioie restaurant situated on the end of a downhill piste in Tignes Les Bevireres - they serve food all day (mainly benefitting from the lunchtime trade of people skiing over the mountain from nearby Tignes). Evenings are a different affair though -...
andrewyong Says: Bar crawl is a must of course when you are in Tignes. Otherwise, go figure (what to do in cold wintry nights...) Though we went to many, personally, I like Crowded House. Casual/winter apparel
andrewyong Says: Once you have your ski pass, the buses in Tignes are free as they are included in your ski pass. Go anywhere... hop on and hop off.
andrewyong Says: When I got to Bourg St Maurice, I found out that you can now get to Tignes by Eurostar/TGV from London/Paris, so great! I saw Eurostar advertising some packaged deals for this new offer.Take a coach from Bourg St Maurice to Tignes Val Claret or Tignes Le Lac (where there is...
Luchonda Says: Skiing with her parents in the French ski resort, enjoying the ski station Savoie AlpesTignes enjoys all the skiing attributes of Val d'Isere, as they combine to make up the L'Espace Killy. The 300km of marked pistes cover all abilities and provide greatly varied mountain...
andrewyong Says: Do heed the avalanche warnings and stay clear of marked "no-go" areas, what more can I say?
Sam_Hall Says: There is no real way that you can avoid these but there are a few tricks of the trade.
Sam_Hall Says: Layers, Layers, Layers. It is a lot better to wear three lighter tops than a big jumper. You might look daft but it keeps the cold out.You also might like to think about take a spare change of clothes with you and leaving them in the car (If you have one). Ive been soaked...
PolinaS Says: Slope Sache is among special delicacies of the ski area. In my opinion, on of the most thrilling and interesting, and passes natural reserve. The slope begins with narrow steep bumpy pass. Then there is a flat area after which you can turn to the right and leave for blue...
PolinaS Says: Le S.P.O.T. is declared as freeride zone “only for very good off-piste skiers”. But I saw there enough beginners even with children. So, I’m sure you’ll manage with it ;)
PolinaS Says: There is a nice place for photo shooting just between chairlifts Aiguille Percee and Marais. There is a hole in the rocks and it looks like a frame for photo ;)
RACCOON1 Says: With over 100 lifts and a high altitude the Val d'Isere / Tignes complex is one of the best in the world. Lots of powder skiing. Runs are LONG and with lots of vertical drop. It is recommended that you stay in Val Claret as it is the highest village. Val Claret is a bit...
