Tignes, located in the Tarentaise Valley in the Rhône-Alpes region of south-eastern France, is one of the most snow-sure ski resorts in France due to its high altitude.

At 2,100 metres above sea level, it boasts wonderfully picturesque and snow-covered mountains. Together with the nearby resort of Val d’Isère, the two popular resorts form the ‘Tignes-Val d’Isère’ ski area.

Tignes is not one single village, but five villages – Val Claret, Tignes le Lac, Le Lavachet, Tignes Les Boisses, and Tignes-les-Brévières. The first three are at an altitude of 2,100 metres, while the latter two are located further down the valley. There are some superb après-ski bars to be found in Tignes, including Oxford Ski Company’s choice, La Folie Douce in Val-d’Isère, an exhilarating party venue, as well as several superb mountain restaurants.
