Visitor Reviews of Tignes


David Taylor from FRANCE writes:

Tignes is simply a fantastic ski resort. With its link in to Val d'Isere you get an awesome ski area with more runs than you can do in 10 solid days skiing. If you count the off-piste, which is superb you really cannot go wrong. Its high altitude (a bunch of runs ovzer 3000m) almost guarantees that you can ski anytime between November and May (usually summer galcier skiing too - Ed.) I take a group of friends skiing every year, this year is our 17th trip. We have been everywhere, and Tignes has become our firm favourite, we return year after year to a little hotel in Tignes le Lac. The next trip is March 25, 2006...

The downside, well, Val Claret is far from a cute little Austrian village, but who cares, it is dark at night and in the day you are skiing or surfing the mountains and no need to look at it. At night, looking over the lake with the mountains floodlit it still takes the wind out of you.

I type this I am sitting in Whistler, not bad here, but I rate Tignes above it.
