Visitor Reviews of Tignes
Ray from United Kingdom writes:
Just been to Tignes for the third time. Great skiing, good views, plenty of runs, ski shops and nightlife. Snow this year is fantastic but a number of runs were closed and the cable car to the top is out of action for another month or so. Off-piste is fantastic with deep snow. Avalanche risk is high though.
