Tignes
For the serious snow enthusiast, Tignes – regarded as Val d’Isère’s older (more sensible) brother – has it all. Join the hardcore masses and take advantage of the amazing terrain available as part of L’Espace Killy. Be prepared for long days up the mountain before relaxing evenings in the local bars and restaurants – you’ll be ready for an early night.
Compared to its neighbour Val d'Isère, sport comes first here and you're more likely to find visitors staying on the slopes as long as possible rather than partying the night away. The actual resort is split between Val Claret, Le Lac and Le Lavachet, although most visitors tend to move between each of the villages. They take the protection of their environment very seriously and are one of the first ski resorts in the world to introduce measures such as replacing salt with gravel on the roads and having an ongoing programme to replace several different lifts with just one. Like Val d'Isère, the resort is a favourite with British seasonaires, but you'll find a different type of skier from those down the road: stopping for lunch is considered a weakness!

Pros |
Cons |
|---|---|
| If you take your piste time seriously, you’ll find plenty of like-minded individuals. |
There’s not a lot to do in the evenings if you like your après-ski. |
| Accommodation is much more reasonably priced than in neighbouring Val d’Isère. |
Having to fight for the best snow, which gets old pretty quickly. |
| Area is connected to Val d’Isère extremely well so venturing out isn’t a problem. |
The place is ugly. The beautiful scenery is seriously let down by the architecture. |
