Résidence les Grandes Platières 2

Tignes is one of the highest ski resorts in Europe, second only to Val Thorens. That means guaranteed snow and unique slopes during your ski holiday to France. It is a modern ski resort divided into several districts: Val Claret (2100m), the sunny Le Lac (2100m), Lavachet (2000m), the cosy village of Les Brévières (1550m) and Les Boisses (1850m). Le Lac and Val Claret are the largest and therefore most known of the four. Le Lac is, as its name suggests, in a beautiful location by the lake. Val Claret is higher up and is the liveliest district in Tignes, great for an evening of après-ski fun.

Things to do in Tignes

Drag- and chairlifts connect all four districts to the Tignes ski area. Val Claret in particular is surrounded by beautiful, wide slopes. Several lifts also depart from Val Claret and Le Lac to Toviere and Col de Fresse, where you can venture into the Val d'Isère ski area. The Tignes districts are interconnected by free shuttle buses.

You can also have a great time in Tignes off the slopes. If you like to stay active, there’s a wide choice of activities to choose from, including squash, swimming, tennis, and the gym. Tignes also has many excellent restaurants, where you can try raclette, fondue, and other specialities from the Savoie region.
