Tignes apartments

Tignes apartments ranging from a two bedroom apartment for six to a four bedroom apartment for up to ten people. All of our ski apartments in Tignes enjoy free access to a shared heated, indoor swimming pool and sauna facilities so you can relax after a day on the slopes.

Tignes is one of a handful of elite resorts with skiing most of the year. The highest lifts rise to 3,465 metres and there is plenty of snow on the Tignes glacier. Its height and reliable snow make it a popular destination for regular winter skiers. It is part of the L’Espace Killy ski area and links to Val d’Isere to which it compares very favourably price wise.

Tignes is all about long days skiing, unwinding in the bars and restaurants afterwards and then getting your head down early ready to do it all again the next day. Skiing is the number one priority here. The Tignes resort is at 2100m and includes the villages of Val Claret, Le Lavachet and Le Lac which range down to 1550m.

The Espace Killy ski area has 300km of groomed ski slopes, including 40 beginners runs, 16 intermediate and 10 advanced. The vertical drop is 1900 metres, summer skiing is on offer (Espace Killy is open late September to early May) and there is plenty of off piste skiing.
