Ski Club Experiences (previously Instructor-led Guiding, ILG) are no longer being offered by the Club. You are invited to ski with the Club via our Reps service operating in Tignes – details available here.
Tignes shares the huge Tignes-Val d’Isère ski area with its eponymous neighbour Val d’Isère. Between the two there are 300km of pistes for all abilities, ranging from long gentle greens to seriously steep off piste. The lift system is very good after a lot of investment in recent years and even if the natural white stuff is lacking, a powerful snowmaking system and the Grande Motte Glacier ensure that snow reliability is as good as it gets.There are four separate villages to choose from. If you’re looking for guaranteed snow, good value accommodation, a lively nightlife and maximum practicality then Val Claret and Le Lac are your best bets. For a quieter, wooded setting then either Les Boisses and Les Brévières make a great base – especially for families.
The slopes that make up the Tignes ski area are as snowsure as they come and offer great options for all abilities. There are good learning areas in both Val Claret and Le Lac, although these can be plagued by fast through traffic at the start and end of the day. For intermediate skiers the options are almost endless across the entire Espace Killy and the area is home to some of the finest off piste terrain in France.
Le Lac is probably the hub and is ideal for families as the best beginner zone is right at its heart, but each of the four main villages have their own centre and their own atmosphere. Val Claret is the most convenient base and has a vast range of mostly self-catered accommodation, but also some hotels. Both are lively at après time and well into the night. Les Boisses and Les Brévières are quieter and prettier, but access to the slopes of Val takes longer.
The options are great and there are loads of English-speaking companies that can assist with childcare. Le Lac is ideal as it’s right next to the best nursery slopes, but the lower villages are quieter. Off the snow there is loads to do, including an excellent swimming pool with slides in Le Lac, whilst the lake itself is a hub of winter activities – which includes dog sledding.
Tignes is one of the Alps’ liveliest resorts and the bars of both Le Lac and Val Claret fill up quickly at the end of the ski day – including Loop Bar, Le Coffee, Couloir and Drop Zone. Keen revellers should head to the Folie Douce above Val d’Isère – just don’t miss the last lift up the Tommeuses and note that the ski down from the Tovière isn’t the easiest. If you want to continue the party into the early hours, Melting Pot is usually full of seasonnaires.
As it sits right at the end of the valley, the transfer to Tignes is quite a long one. Chambéry is the closest airport at around two hours away, whilst Geneva sits approximately three hours away. Lots of companies offer shared transfers, especially from Geneva.
A great option is to travel by train, catching the Eurostar and TGV to the town of Bourg St Maurice in the valley before grabbing a quick bus transfer up to the resort. Check out the Ski Club’s Guide to travelling to resort by train.
Opening and closing dates are subject to snow cover

The Ski Club uses third party independent assessments and accreditation of ski resorts to determine a resort “environmentally sustainable” – more information can be found here.
As part of the French Flocon Vert (tr. Green Snowflake) scheme, Tignes has been awarded one snowflake out of a possible three, representing significant investment in resources to reduce its environmental impact. Flocon Vert is an independent scheme operated by Mountain Riders, which accredits resorts in France who have met twenty criteria based on environmental, social and economic sustainability.

Warm temperatures start the weekend, with the freezing line hitting 4,000m during the midday sun on Friday. This will fall, however, over the course of the long weekend, eventually hitting 2,000m on Monday evening and staying low throughout the new week.
Cloud will dominate this weekend, and with it will come precipitation. This will begin as rain on Saturday, but as things turn cooler this will turn to snow, with around 5cm falling across the region over Sunday evening, Monday and throughout Tuesday; this will fall on higher ground only as the freezing line remains on or just above 2,000m. High pressure returns in the middle of the week with plenty of fine, dry and bright conditions
Thus concludes this season’s snow overviews; thank you to everyone who has read them this season, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!

Skiing is so addictive, isn’t it?
The thrill of the descent, the stunning mountain views, the cold fresh air, the crunch of snow underfoot and the vibrant Apres ski. Oh, and memories which last a lifetime! Despite skiing for over 30 yrs in resorts all over the world, and a career in ski media nearly all my working life, my passion for the sport remains unabated.
On planning retirement, the key question was how am I going to continue to feed this love of the mountains and give something back to the sport? Having worked for the Ski Club for many years and skied with its Reps on several occasions, I understood the value of the product and admired it greatly. So there was the solution: join the fold, which I did in 2018! I look forward to meeting you soon and sharing our passion.
I first put on skis when I was 10 and despite learning to ski on ice I was hooked. My parents always loved adventure so family ski holidays were the perfect combination of entertainment and the great outdoors. I’ve been lucky enough to ski my way across Europe in Switzerland, France, Austria, Italy and working as a ski instructor in Whistler Canada before going to University. I became a member of the ski club when I was 13 and have wanted to be a rep ever since. 2025 will be my first season. When I’m not in the mountains I’m living in London working in the busy corporate world in Human Rights & Sustainability counting down the days till I can ski again!
I learned to ski in a field, most of the time was spent walking up but I loved it all the same. Nowadays I like exploring remote parts of resorts, visiting favourite restaurants and generally being in the mountains. Kitzbuhel is a charming, friendly, medieval town with a huge variety of skiing. I'll be there from 25 Jan to 7 Feb 2025, my 7th season in Kitzbuehel. For skiing we'll meet at 9.30 on Sundays outside the main entrance to the Hahnenkamm lift. I'll be in a bright red jacket. After that it'll usually be 9am with time/place and social plans depending on conditions etc. Please register in advance if possible. New members welcome.
Hi, I'm David, and I've been riding the snow on skis and boards since I started work... I mostly ski these days, and whilst I love a good powder day ( who doesn't!) I also enjoy a good piste blast. I'm equally happy with a nice mountain coffee or vin chaud, and always keen to sample mountain cuisine. Favourite spots - anywhere it’s snowing! When I’m not skiing, I’m usually found in a dinghy, on a bike, or behind a camera. Ciao!
My love for skiing began in primary school, when my family took me to the Lecht in Scotland. I loved skiing from the outset, it has been my passion for 40 years already! I didn’t ski abroad until I was in my 20s and found the alps to be quite different to Scottish skiing (no snow fences to hold the snow on the hill, away from the wind for a start). The Ski Club has introduced me to so many new friends and amazing people who all share a love for the mountains & skiing. The club has also improved my off-piste skiing and awareness of safety in the mountains as well as my first aid skills and people management/ customer service skills. I have repped in European resorts up until now but this year I am super excited to be the resort rep in Whistler from January 26th – February 14th. I look forward to meeting and skiing with as many of you as possible in Whistler this winter.
