Tignes, Ski resort in Savoie, France
The resort extends across 300 kilometers of slopes at elevations between 1550 and 3456 meters in the Tarentaise Valley of French Alps.
The development of Tignes transformed from a mountain village into a major winter sports destination following substantial infrastructure investments in the twentieth century.
The resort maintains strong ties to alpine sports traditions through regular competitions, training programs, and winter sports education for visitors of all skill levels.
The winter season operates from November to May, with summer skiing available on the Grande Motte Glacier from late June to early August.
The resort incorporates four distinct villages, with Val Claret positioned at the highest point providing direct slope access for winter sports enthusiasts.
