Tignes has probably the best snow record in the Alps, allowing for skiing from early December to mid May with the glacier itself staying open for much of the rest of the year. It is one of the few really snow-sure resorts. The lifts are almost all high-speed chair lifts and connect easily into Val d'Isere which is covered by the same lift pass. Although it previously had a reputation for being ugly the new developments have been much more sensitively designed. The skiing is as good as it gets, particularly for intermediates and experts. Both Le Lac and Le Lavachet are thriving at night and Val Claret is a short bus ride away. Non-skiers are catered for with a brand new and sizeable leisure centre and various other activities ranging from dog sledding to ice diving. Very family friendly and our kids love the place!
