About Tignes

High, snow-sure skiing, shared with Val d'Isère

Tignes was built in the 1960s, high enough that the snow is reliable early and late in the season. It shares 300 km of pistes with Val d'Isère, up to the Grande Motte glacier. The villages are modern and practical, and many places are close to the slopes.
