Visitor Reviews of Tignes


David Perry from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

We've just got back from a week in Tignes with Mark Warner and really enjoyed our time there (four adults and two children.) All in all conditions were ok at the start of the week but with a couple of days snow we were treated to some fantastic on/off-piste conditions! They do a great job looking after the runs and the variation of being able to run into other areas keeps up the interest, although watch out for some small stones starting to appear on one or two of the popular runs back to the village!! It's a high resort and a few of our group regularly mentioned altitude sickness/headaches (maybe the wine had something to do with that though)!? Before going I'd heard mention of the look of the concrete town being a negative, my view was, yes maybe but look up above that and take in the breathtaking Alps, enjoy the well groomed runs and magical off piste opportunities!! Worth a trip? Yes!
