Amazing High Altitude Alpine Skiing
Tignes Ski resort forms part of the massive Espace Killy Ski area, and along with neighbouring Val d’Isere, it offers some of the most challenging skiing in Europe. The high altitude of Tignes gives it some of the best snow conditions in the Alps, which make it possible to enjoy Ski holidays in Tignes virtually all year-round. There is a huge amount of terrain to Ski in Tignes and a tremendous choice of runs suitable for novice and experienced skiers, which are easily accessible from your hotel. Tignes snowboarding breaks are just as popular as skiing holidays and there are some challenging steep off-piste slopes and deep gullies.
Ski schools and Tignes snowboarding schools can get you up to scratch with the basic techniques before you face your first blue and green runs, or help you to brush up on your technique before you attempt something even more challenging. Transfers from the nearest airport, Chambery to Tignes, take in the region of 2.5 hours, although other Airports also serve the resort including Grenoble and Geneva. Tignes is around 3.5 to 4.5 hours from these airports.
