Location:
Welcome to your retreat in the mountains. L'Aiguille Percée is quite simply a beautiful hotel, situated in the valley, looking out over the Lac de Tignes and the Grande Motte glacier. You feel truly away from it all here, with nothing to think about except skiing. Just moments away from the main lifts and the ski school, and opposite the Aeroski gondola with direct access to the Val d'Isère slopes, the location of this chalethotel couldn't be better. It offers the perfect base for skiers of all standards - and a lot more besides.

Accommodation

At L'Aiguille Percée you will find that rare thing - a hotel that offers something for everyone yet still retains its personality and charm. If you're a family you'll appreciate the colourful crèche and the good-sized family rooms. If you like comfort you'll love the wood panelled bedrooms, the hand painted furniture and large, modern bathrooms. And if you want to get romantic, this is definitely the place to do it. The dining room (with great views, naturally) has a stylish feel where you can party in a group or tuck yourself away à deux. If it all gets too much there's a steam room and sauna to relax in.

Facilities

Tignes Resort Info

Tignes skiing

Lift linked to Illustrious neighbour Val d'Isère to make up the Espace Killy, the Tignes ski area is, needless to say, vast and varied. The 300km of marked pistes cater for all levels and tastes with great off-piste, long wide blues and two snowparks (with another, even better one, over in Val d'Isère). Tignes also has the Grande Motte glacier providing year-round skiing. The glacier and Tignes' high altitude, make this resort for a great early or late season ski holiday destination. The whole area is serviced very well by an efficient lift system and the five 'satellites' that make up the resort are all linked by free bus.

Tignes ski resort

Due to its 1960s heritage, Tignes is not exactly famous for its Alpine charm. However, off-snow activities have improved somewhat over the last few years. There are a nice range of decent restaurants and bars whilst there are supermarkets for the largely self-catering crowd. Nightlife and après ski is pretty healthy and families are greatly welcomed with good childcare run by the ski schools. Overall, Tignes is not a place that relies upon Alpine ambience. But hey, who cares when the days are filled with such great skiing.

Number of ski lifts: 79 ; 2 funiculars, 4 cable cars ; 5 gondola lifts, 18 chairlifts, 25 detachable chairlifts

Number of runs: 155 with 26 black slopes (7 in Tignes), 39 red (19 in Tignes), 68 blue (36 (Tignes) and 22 green (7 in Tignes)

Snowmakers: 974
