About Tignes Ski Resort

Set high in the magnificent Savoie Alps, Tignes offers some of the best skiing in Europe with guaranteed snow all year. We have accommodation in the 3 best villages; Val Claret, Le Lavachet and Tignes-le-Lac. Val Claret, the highest, offers the best access to the skiing. It has a number of shops, supermarkets and many restaurants and bistros. Le Lavachet with connections into Val d'Isère, offers a variety of cafés/restaurants and a free bus service to Tignes-le-Lac (operating day and night). The lively Tignes-le-Lac is the hub of the resort with runs leading directly back into its centre. There is a twice weekly market here, shops, bars and restaurants and an ultra-modern sports centre.

Apres ski in Tignes

Plenty of après ski activities in all three villages: Tignes offers a host of exciting après-ski activities, as well as an ample choice of venues for everything from a quiet drink to a lively night out. There is also a choice of restaurants in all price ranges. Good Bars in Val Claret include Crowded House, Fish-tank (literally fish tanks in the toilets!), in Le Lac -Café de la Poste and Caves du Lac, and in Le Lavachet (Hub of Brit community in Tignes) - Harri’s Bar (now called 'Censored Bar'), Petit Pub and TC's Bar.
