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 main 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.back to top
