About Tignes

Tignes is one of the most snow-sure resorts in France.
Tignes is one of the most snow-sure resorts in the Alps. The high-altitude French resort sits at 2,100m with lifts reaching 3,456m at the summit of the Grande Motte glacier. Linked with Val d'Isère as part of the Tignes-Val d'Isère ski area (formerly Espace Killy), the combined area offers over 300km of pistes and one of the longest seasons in Europe, running from late November through to early May. The resort is made up of five interconnected villages, the two main hubs being Le Lac and Val Claret. Chambéry is the closest airport at around 2 hours, making Tignes one of the most accessible high-altitude resorts from the UK.

Tignes suits every type of skier and snowboarder, from first-timers on the nursery slopes in Le Lac to experts tackling La Sache, and its high altitude means reliable snow throughout the entire season. Whatever your level or goal, booking a private ski or snowboard lesson in Tignes with one of Maison Sport's verified, multi-lingual instructors is the best way to get the most out of this exceptional mountain.

Tignes FAQs

Tignes is a great resort for beginner skiers, with dedicated nursery areas in each of the five villages. Le Lac and Val Claret are the best bases for first-timers. The Rosset piste in Le Lac and the Bollin in Val Claret are perfect for beginners, open and gentle with simple lift access. The Grattalu blue in Val Claret is the ideal next step when you're ready to progress. The wide, sunny slope offers the perfect environment for practising turns and building confidence. Book a private beginner ski lesson or an adult group lesson in Tignes for expert guidance from your very first run.

Tignes is one of the best intermediate resorts in the Alps. The Corniche blue that takes you past the famous Eye of the Needle rock formation is a standout run. Its consistent gradient is great for building carving confidence. The Grande Motte glacier is another highlight. Head up first thing for cold, groomed snow and ski the long and scenic Génépy blue run. For more experienced intermediates, try the Double M red, a steeper descent that drops 1,356m back to Val Claret with views of Mont Blanc. Book a private ski lesson in Tignes to find the best routes for your level and make the most of the glacier.

Tignes is an exceptional destination for expert skiers. La Sache, a challenging 10 km black run descending from the Aiguille Percée to Les Brévières, is one of the most spectacular descents in the Alps for advanced skiers. Our instructors recommend skiing it in the morning before the snow softens on the lower sections. For off-piste, the terrain from the Aiguille Percée and Grand Huit chairlifts offers a vast playground beyond the piste, including the iconic Vallons de la Sache. Book an expert private ski lesson or explore our dedicated off-piste ski lessons in Tignes if you're ready to venture beyond the marked runs.

Tignes is open from late November through to early May, with the Grande Motte glacier and high-altitude slopes providing reliable snow throughout. Summer skiing is also available on the glacier from June to July. January offers the quietest slopes and best value, while February half-term and Easter are typically the busiest periods. Book your ski lessons in Tignes ahead of time to secure your preferred instructor, especially during peak weeks.

Tignes is an excellent resort for families, holding the Famille Plus label. Every village has its own beginner area with free or beginner-friendly lifts, so young skiers can get started without travelling far. The wide Palafour blues, rolling gently back into Le Lac, are a comfortable step up from the nursery slopes - consistent and forgiving enough for mixed-ability families to ski together. For thrill-seekers, the Gliss Park in Le Lac is a gentle introduction to freestyle, with small jumps and rails suitable for all ages. Book a children's group ski school lesson in Tignes or a private instructor, depending on age and ability.
