About Tignes
Tignes is often regarded as having the most reliable snow in the Alps.Tignes FAQs
What is the skiing like in Tignes for beginners?
Tignes is a good resort for first-time skiers, with 4 dedicated beginner areas, although the nursery slopes of Le Lac and Le Lavachet are the best two for beginners. Whilst Tignes does have some gentle blue runs, they are not particularly well connected and beginners may find skiing in nearby Val d’Isère is more enjoyable.
What is the skiing like in Tignes for intermediate?
For intermediate skiers, Tignes is one of the best resorts in the Alps you could visit. The majority of the 300km of slopes are accessible to intermediate skiers and there are a huge variety of blue and red runs to be explored in the massive bowl above Tignes. Double M is a very popular long red run that snakes down from the Grande Motte glacier all the way to Tignes Val Claret.
What is the skiing like in Tignes for experts?
Tignes is famous for attracting expert skiers who wish to experience the excellent off-piste terrain and challenge themselves on the renowned ‘La Sache’, a beautiful black piste that starts at L’Aiguille Percée and follows a remote and secluded valley down to Tignes Les Brevieres. If you’re looking for off piste, Le Spot is a huge unpisted area of the mountain with zones for advanced and intermediate skiers.

Summer skiing on the Tignes glacier is possible from June till July, however, the main resort opens for the winter season from the end of November till early May.
