The 300km of marked pistes cover all abilities and provide greatly varied mountain terrain. Advanced skiers and boarders are particularly well served on skiing holidays in Tignes, with great off-piste (a guide is an absolute must). Equally, the 1992 Olympic downhill run, the 'Face', will put you through your paces.

Tignes ski holidays cater for more than just the advanced skier however; beginners have plenty of blues, while intermediates have their reds, but be warned… As with Val d'Isère, some of the piste grading is inaccurate and some greens are more like tough reds.

Because of its 1960s heritage, the resort is unlikely to win any awards for its Alpine charm, despite millions having been spent in an attempt to tart the resort up. In terms of the off-snow side of your Tignes skiing holiday, there are perfectly adequate facilities. There are a few decent restaurants and supermarkets are available for the largely self-catering crowd. Unlike Val d'Isère, though, the nightlife is a touch sparse in Tignes, as are other non-skiing activities. Families are greatly welcomed on ski holidays in Tignes 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 skiing is about as good as it gets?
