Snowboarding Holidays in Tignes

Trip Highlights

The 'Espace Killy' has long been established as one of the most extensive, exciting, snowsport areas in the world. Snowboarders are spoilt for choice with one half-pipe, a couple of snowboard parks and a seemingly endless supply of pisted and unpisted terrain. Beginners, intermediates and experts will be more than satisfied with this incredible area. Snowboarding and has some of the most exciting and challenging ski terrain outside The Three Valleys. A first-rate snow record, with enormous variety of both on and off piste skiing. Linking directly into the 300km ‘Espace Killy’ with an extensive lift system - it’s a quick drop over the hill into neighbouring Val D’Isere. An area lift pass allows for a day trip to The Three Valleys or Paradiski areas. Great for all abilities, this really is a ski holiday resort with something for everyone. The main resort of Tignes is made up of three areas; Le Lac, Le Lavachet and Val Claret. All the villages include a number of shops, restaurants and atmospheric bars where the après-ski is fairly lively. There is also the opportunity to sign up for numerous activities off the slopes - many of which involve varying amounts of adrenaline!

Itinerary

Beginners
Both ski schools, ESF and Evolution 2 have good reputations and use English-speaking instructors. There are five free lifts for beginners in Val Claret and Lavachet, so we recommend beginners to buy a lift pass locally.

Intermediates
A superb, almost endless, variety of long wide pistes, mainly above the tree-line, with plenty of gentle off-piste slopes where intermediates can get the feeling for powder snow. There’s a choice of several mogul fields for the better intermediate, while the Col Pers off-piste run from Le Fornet is long and not too difficult. There’s a superb, very long and very challenging black run down from the Aiguille Percée to just above Tignes Les Brevières.

Advanced
Mile-after-mile of untracked snow, powder bowls, couloirs, mogul fields and bumps left to grow to impressive dimensions. An interesting off-piste adventure is the ‘Vallee Perdue’ or ‘Lost Valley’, which follows the course of a river, down a gully. The ski school offers excellent packages to explore this and other extensive untracked areas in the vicinity. Your Neilson rep will be on hand to advise you on local conditions and help make arrangements for you.
