Tignes (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes)

In the Savoie department, in the heart of the Vanoise National Park and the Tarentaise Valley, Tignes is one of the largest ski areas in the Alps. With its year-round snow-covered peaks and unrivalled snow quality, Tignes offers a unique mountain experience.

In 1952, the construction of the Tignes dam marked a turning point in the village's history, transforming the valley into an artificial lake and engulfing the old village under water. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the village was rebuilt at an altitude of 2100 metres, adopting a new vocation as a ski resort. Since then, Tignes has forged an international reputation, attracting winter sports aficionados from all over the world.

Tignes is a place rich in history that can be discovered through numerous points of interest: the Olympic flame cauldron, the Church of the Transfiguration, the Church of Saint-Jacques, etc., and of course the Chevril dam, a spectacular structure 180 meters high and 300 meters long. Thanks to its many assets, Tignes has won the hearts of many top sportsmen and women and well-known personalities, who have chosen to make it their home.

With its highest point at 3653 m, the Grande Motte glacier, its 300 km of pistes linked to the Val d'Isère resort and its privileged location in the Vanoise National Park, Tignes is the resort of choice for a wide range of winter sports and outdoor activities. It's also one of the few resorts in Europe to offer skiing almost all year round. Tignes also attracts visitors for its lively atmosphere, with its many restaurants and bars, nightclubs and golf course, not to mention its many events throughout the year, such as the Mountain Shaker, the Fête de Tignes 1800, the Pump Party Tour and many others.
