Villages Overview
In the upper valley there is Val Claret, Tignes Le Lac and Le Lavachet. Lower down are the smaller, and quieter, villages, Les Boisses & Les Brevieres.

Tignes Les Brevieres is based at 1500m. This area is connected with the 8-person Breviere gondola, which runs Mondays to Saturdays until 8 pm and Sundays until 5 pm to Les Boisses. Les Boisses, at 1800m, is the newest village - opening in 2013. These two villages are quieter and more suited for families. Both are located on the west side of the ski area. They are generally more quiet, with fewer services and less nightlife; however, both offer affordable & more traditional options than staying in the two main upper resort villages. Tignes 1800 is connected to Tignes le Lac with a free shuttle every day until after midnight. The valley from 1800 to 1500 is north-faced and has on show the most beautiful runs in the whole ski area – some say in France.s

Then there is Tignes 2100. Tignes Lavachet is separate from Le Lac only by the Lacachet and Petit Col runs and the Paquis and Chaudonnes chairlift. It is quieter and cheaper than Tignes le Lac and has the highest concentration of hotels in Tignes. Most are hillside, and only a short ski/board or stroll to the lifts, which will take you up, up & away!

Tignes le Lac is the heart of Tignes. In a picturesque setting, Le Lac is at the shore of a frozen lake connected to both sides of the Tignes natural stadium. Le Lac and Le Lavachet are connected almost 24 hours by free shuttle.

Tignes Val Claret (2150m) is the most connected village to all areas and has the best nightlife. Its location is adjacent to lifts facing in all directions providing fantastic first lift and fresh track possibilities. But with all that convenience comes a price - in contrast, to lower down the valley.

Ski Area

The map simply does not give justice to the vastness, complexity & quality of the terrain available. Your heart will be thumping all the way up the gondola from the bottom of the resort at Les Brevieres to the cable car at the top of the Grande Motte - a vertical drop of a lazy 1,906m.
The Grande Motte, one of the two glaciers, is above Tignes Val Claret, alongside Val d'Isere; the area is now called the Tignes-Val D'Isere ski area - previously, it was called the Espace Killy ski area.
Tignes' combined ski network with Val D’Isere features 300km of runs linked by 78 lifts plus over 10,000ha of diverse riding terrain. Easy runs consist of 170km (57%), intermediate runs make up 78km, and 52km of advanced terrain. 82 lifts connect all runs with the resort. Many of the easy runs are in fact combining well with the numerous long, cruisy intermediate runs.
The snowiest week in Tignes is week 1 of March. There are typically 4.2 snowy days during this week with 53 cm of snowfall.
A testament to the quality of the snow & terrain at Tignes is that it has the longest ski season in France. 6 lifts create access to 12km of piste on the 700m vertical on the Grande Motte glacier from late June to early August. Then, opening again from mid-October through to the end of November, the glacier provides quality autumn riding until the whole resort opens for winter through to May.


Adult prices range from €51 (half a day pass) to €378 (6-day pass). The Tignes ski pass comprises 300km of ski runs. children's and seniors range from €41 (half-day pass) to €318 (6-day pass). In Tignes, there are six free beginner lifts.
