Tignes is THE perfect resort for a great winter vacation!

A mountain village and ski resort buildings in a snow-covered valley, with a frozen lake, surrounded by vast ski slopes and towering mountains. Text visible on a building: "ETIGNES".

‍1 • A spectacular ski area...

Located at an altitude of 2,100 meters, in the heart of the Northern Alps and the Tarentaise Valley, the resort of Tignes has everything you could want.

Its ski area, ranging in elevation from 1,550 to 3,450 meters, offers breathtaking scenery featuring mountains, lakes, and glaciers.

Renowned as the most action-packed resort in the Alps, the interconnected Tignes & Val d’Isère ski area offers nearly 300 km of slopes. Beginners and young skiers can learn at their own pace in dedicated beginner areas. More experienced skiers can take advantage of the snow-covered slopes and numerous lifts to perfect their turns.

‍If you love winter sports and want to try your hand at other disciplines, how about a day of cross-country skiing in Tignes? The 10 km of trails will let you explore the area around the frozen lake.

And for the most adventurous among you, your vacation in Tignes could be the perfect opportunity to strap on a pair of ski touring skis and explore the wilder side of the mountains. Venture out onto one of the five groomed and secured ski touring trails to get your heart pumping in an exceptional setting with views of the Alpine peaks.

2 • Take advantage of your ski vacation to treat yourself to a gourmet experience!

What would a Stay be without sampling one (or more) of the traditional Savoyard specialties?

‍Here is a list of our must-try winter meals:

  • Savoyard fondue is a delicious blend of melted cheeses and white wine. Beaufort, Comté, Emmental, Abondance—there are many possible combinations.
  • Raclette is a cheese made from raw cow's milk that is melted and served with potatoes and cold cuts.
  • Tartiflette is a dish made with a gratin of potatoes, bacon, and onions, topped with Reblochon cheese! We also recommend a delicious variation, the croziflette, where the potatoes are replaced with crozets.
  • Savoie diots: The diot is THE must-try sausage of our mountains. Whether plain or smoked, these sausages are traditionally pan-fried and then simmered with onions and white wine. Serve them with a potato gratin or crozets, and you’re all set!

‍And if you just want to settle in comfortably and treat your taste buds after a busy day in the mountains, there are plenty of restaurants to discover in Tignes! (Click here to find the restaurant that’s right for you.)

3 • Off-piste: plenty of activities to enjoy in Tignes during the winter

These days, winter in the mountains isn't just for winter sports enthusiasts! To our non-skier friends: Tignes is also THE perfect destination for you to enjoy a pleasant Stay the mountains.

‍Your Stay be an active one, with plenty of activities available at Tignespace. Racquet sports, team sports, a golf simulator, a skate ramp, a climbing wall, and a weight room: you’ll find a wide variety of sports to help you boost your red blood cell production.

‍Your Stay be an opportunity to take some time for yourself. Take the time to browse the resort’s shops, take a stroll along the frozen lake, enjoy a yoga session at high altitude, or simply take a moment to relax in the Lagon’s wellness area.

Your Stay be a chance to share some great moments with family or friends: an ice rink, a movie, or a unique dining experience in an igloo.
