Ski area Tignes/Val d'Isère
The ski areas of Tignes and Val d'Isère each offer 150 km of varied pistes, which are connected via the Bellevarde (2,827 m). From Tignes, you not only have a great view of the mountain lake Lac du Chevril. The area also offers a great playground for beginners who want to take their first turns on the Col du Palet and explore the green and blue pistes above Tignes-Le Lac. Demanding skiers, on the other hand, will find their happiness in the glacier ski area on the Grande Motte, where fabulous views await you at an altitude of 3,456 metres. Secured and controlled deep snow slopes in the Vallon de la Sache also make the ski area a paradise for freeriders and off-piste skiers. Here you can conquer a difference in altitude of 1,198 metres over a length of 2.8 km. A special experience is the Tignes snowpark, which offers special tables, slides and jumps for beginners as well as action for advanced and professional skiers.
The Val d'Isère area also offers you access to 150 kilometres of piste, with many wide pistes of an easy level, especially on the plateau of the Pissaillas glacier. The ski area therefore also bears the "Famille Plus" seal of quality, meaning that the local descents are particularly suitable for families and there is plenty of childcare on offer. However, there are also some red pistes and challenging ski routes, including on Solaise, where the descent to the valley is particularly challenging. At the Pointe du Montet (3,428 m), the skiing fun on the best surface lasts particularly long, with good snow conditions from June to September. The ski area's good infrastructure also includes free Wi-Fi hotspots at several mountain and valley stations.
The areas of Tignes and Val d'Isère are perfectly connected and promise pure fun on the slopes!
Après ski Tignes
Skiing may be the top priority in Tignes, but après ski is certainly not neglected here either! A variety of bars, cosy restaurants and several discos take centre stage in Tignes. The "Grizzly's Bar" with its arctic atmosphere is a real "in" place.
For sporting activities, there is a natural ice rink in Le Lac. Afterwards, you can use the swimming pool at "Le Lagon". If you're looking for something out of the ordinary, you can go ice diving in the lake in Tignes. A special sporting highlight has also just opened: "Tignespace" is a modern indoor sports and conference centre with countless possibilities: Tennis courts, basketball, volleyball, handball, badminton and hockey courts, squash courts, a climbing wall, an athletics area - with 3,500 square metres of space for sporting activities alone, it leaves little to be desired.
