If you are interested in doing a season, or coming out to stay for a month or two, please let us know your requirements and we will try to find the most suitable accommodation for you.
Studios are available for the full season from around €6000.

As a whole, Tignes is made up of 5 separate villages – Les Brevières and Les Boisses are further down the mountain from the other 3, and tend to be a bit quieter. Val Claret, Lac and Lavachet are higher, more lively and within walking distance from each other. A free bus service runs between them 24 hours a day.

Skiing and Boarding:

Tignes is part of the huge Espace Killy ski area, which links to Val D’Isere. With an altitude of between 1550m and 3450m, and the Grande Motte glacier, the resort has guaranteed snow and the winter season is long – from November to May.
The resort offers something for every standard and style of riding, with 300km of pistes and almost unlimited off-piste riding, including a dedicated off-piste area in “the spot”. There is a small snow park in Tignes, a halfpipe and a boardercross, however Val D’Isere park is much bigger, and is very easy to get to from Tignes. Lift passes cost around €980 for the season, (or €165 per month if you have a work contract).
For good English speaking ski and board lessons, we recommend The Development Centre (skiing) and Alliance (snowboarding). Both have a high standard of instruction for all ability levels.

Other Activities:

If you get bored of riding or skiing, there are plenty of other activities on offer, including paragliding, ice diving in the lake, ice skating, snowmobiling, ice karting and horseriding. On bad weather days there is a swimming pool and gym complex, which opened in summer 2006, a cinema (French and English films), bowling and a climbing wall.

Events:

Tignes is host to numerous events throughout the year, but particularly during the winter season. Events this year have included the Freeride World Tour, Mogul Ski World Cup, Tignes Airwaves and the Snowgaymes – part of the 4th “Happy Gay Ski Week”. New for this year is “Tignesfest” – the resorts first 3 day music festival – with bands playing for free in bars all over town. Everest Poker have even organized a tournament here, the “King of the Mountain”, with the 10 qualifiers playing to win part of the €20000 prize pool in a glass dome on the Grande Motte glacier.

Bars:

Just as popular for partying as riding, there are bars to suit every taste, and 4 nightclubs. Highly recommended are:
LAVACHET:
TC’s bar – for English breakfasts, watching football and general drunken messiness - especially on theme nights – not to be missed!
Lavachet Lounge – for chilling out with cocktails or using the internet.
LAC:
The Loop – for sunning yourself on the huge terrace, lunch, playing pool, nachos and live bands.
The Alpaka – hotel bar with an open fire, the biggest dog you have ever seen, big screen for watching sport, champagne nights, cocktails and pukka pies!
VAL CLARET:
The Couloir – great restaurant for dinner (make sure you book a table in advance), excellent mojitos, dj’s, live bands and barbeques.
The Crowded House – probably the most English of the bars in Tignes and generally quite busy and lively, table football, sport on TV.
Tignes has a great international community of seasonnaires, many of whom come back year after year, or forget to go home at all and end up staying.
