Tignes Ski Holidays

A high-altitude favourite for snow-sure ski holidays, Tignes ski resort is built for skiers and snowboarders who want maximum time on the slopes. With ski-in/ski-out access across the village and seamless links into the vast Tignes–Val d’Isère ski area, it delivers reliable conditions, efficient lifts, and varied terrain for all abilities.

Tignes Ski Resort

Tignes is a modern, high-altitude ski resort in the French Alps, linked with Val d’Isère to form the expansive Tignes–Val d’Isère ski area. Known for its snow-sure slopes and mountain-centred design, it is best suited to skiers and snowboarders who place maximum time on the slopes above traditional Alpine village character.

The resort is made up of several purpose-built villages positioned at different points on the mountain, each offering convenient ski-in/ski-out access and quick links to the wider lift network. This practical layout, combined with an efficient lift system and varied terrain, makes Tignes a strong choice for mixed-ability groups, and those looking for a dependable, ski-first holiday without the premium village atmosphere found in some neighbouring resorts.

Whether you are looking for a tailor-made ski holiday or the best last-minute ski deals to Tignes, our ski experts are here to help.
