One of the many gems in the French Alps, Tignes lures skiers and snowboarders for its world-class amenities and stunning alpine setting on the border of France and Italy. This snow-sure resort in the Northern Alps is one of the safest bets in Europe, with one of the longest opening periods from September to May. A wealth of activities are offered for your luxury ski holiday. Convivial après-ski bars, upscale spas, gourmet restaurants, and family-friendly activities. Tignes is a higher, friendlier, and less expensive ski station than Val d'Isere, home of the 1992 Winter Olympics. Together, the resorts offer 300km of pistes as part of the Espace Killy Ski Area. In close proximity to many European cities, a Tignes ski holiday is just a short flight away.
From Tignes 1800 to Val Claret, Villanovo has a range of luxury apartments and chalets for a luxury home base. Choose a ski in - ski out rental for easy access to the slopes. Why not book a chalet with a jacuzzi to warm up after a day in the snow or a chalet with a private chef for a luxury Tignes ski holiday? Villanovo also offers chalets that are best for large groups that can sleep up to 16 guests!
After working up an appetite, taste Alpine specialties at Tignes' buffet of great restaurants. Savour meats and fish cooked over an open-fire and a decadent dessert buffet at Le Panoramic, a high-altitude restaurant that is only accessible by ski lift. Located on an actual farm, La Ferme des Trois Capucines serves hearty meats and Alpine classics made with their own artisanal cheese. In a charming, tree-lined dining room, Ursus features exquisite dishes by renowned Michelin-star chef Clément Bouvier, who forages some ingredients in the forest to infuse French gastronomy with Alpine flavours. What are traditional Alpine dishes to try? Cheesy fondue savoyarde and raclette, tartiflette, a potato, cheese, bacon, and onion tart, and a blueberry-packed tarte aux myrtilles.
A Tignes ski holiday is more than a getaway. Tignes, with its great range of ski runs or its snow parks, is one of the best resorts in the Alps for all skill levels, whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced skier. The exclusive slopes are ideal for improving your skill level. Top-notch personal trainers that speak English will help you hone your technique at the TDC Ski Development Centre. Skiers of all ages are sure to benefit from the expert lessons at ESF Tignes le Lac. Beginner to advanced skiers are welcome on Tignes predominantly blue and red runs. Home to high-altitude skiing that goes up to 3450 metres, the Tignes Ski Resort has skiable piste opportunities ten months out of the year! Don't miss the highest part, the Glacier Grand Motte.
With over 40 bars and nightclubs, there are no shortage of spots to let loose after a day on the slopes. A ski in - ski out hub for après-ski and beer pong, Cocorico has locations in Val Claret and Val-d'Isère. In the village of Le Lac, enjoy happy hours at Loop Bar, whose sunny terrace hosts live bands and DJs. For après-ski for the whole family, Le Brasero in Le Lavachet is ideally situated to soak up afternoon sun. Looking for a high-end bar? Le Whitney Bar at a 5-star resort in Val Claret has cosy sofas and glowing fireplaces for a romantic or chic evening. For concerts by world-class artists, be sure to check out the newest exclusive venue in Tignes, Le Strike.
When you want a break from the ski lifts, Tignes has a wealth of luxury activities. Take a 10-,30-, or 60-minute helicopter tour or go paragliding for a birds-eye view of the Alps. Savour the sublime silence of ice diving. Pamper yourself at the Lagon wellness area, where a sauna, jacuzzi, and hammam soothes sore muscles. Guided snowshoe hikes prove there is no need to be a skier to experience the snow. As do the pedestrian lifts which bring you to the mountain restaurants for a high-altitude lunch break. Need reservations? Ask your Villanovo concierge to book one of these unforgettable experiences.
