Tignes ski holidays - France
Tignes Description
Set high in the magnificent Savoie Alps, Tignes offers some of the best skiing in Europe with guaranteed snow all year on the Espace killy ski range. We have accommodation in the 3 best villages: Val Claret, the highest, offers the best access to the skiing, being very close to the foot of the glacier and is directly linked to Val d'Isere. It has a number of shops, supermarkets and many restaurants and bistros; Le Lavachet with chairlift links to Toviere and connections onto Val d'Isere, offers a variety of cafes/restaurants and a free bus service to Lac de Tignes (operating day and night); lastly, bustling, lively Lac de Tignes, with runs leading directly back into the resort. There is a twice weekly market here, shops, bars and restaurants and an ultra-modern sports centre..
