There is a lift behind the building that takes you up to Place du Curling so it is within a few minutes walk from lots of shops and restaurants.

Tignes has one of the best winter ski records and was one of the few places in France where you could ski extensively at the beginning of the 2022-23 ski season. A huge ski area joined with Val d’Isere with regularly updated ski-lifts. In the summer the skiing on the glacier is amazing, the highest golf course in Europe is quite a challenge and the entertainment round the lake is brilliant!

Tignes shares the large well linked ski area called L’Espace Killy with Val d’Isere and has over 300km of pistes, 150 shops, 115 bars, numerous ski schools including ESF, BASS and Alliance Snowboarding. Renowned for its extensive off-piste, it has become one of Europe’s premier resorts.

Due to its altitude Tignes has a very good snow record which has made it one of the most reliable ski-resorts in Europe both for skiing and snowboarding.

L’Espace Killy boasts a fast and efficient lift system with around 100 lifts and all skiing standards are catered for with several free lifts on the beginner slopes. For the more adventurous the incredible off-piste also has unusually good lift access.

Also there is a half pipe, boarder cross course, some great freeriding, ice diving, dog sledding on the lake, hang gliding, skidoo riding, ice climbing, parascending, skating, snowshoeing, indoor tennis and heliskiing.

In the summer there are 16 lifts and 20 km of pistes available as well as a huge amount of summer sport activities. There is also Acroland where people on snowboards, ski’s and roller blades hurl themselves off one of the four jumps and flying straight into the lake. And there is always the challenge of the highest golf course in Europe.
