Les Résidences de Tignes Val Claret, Tignes

Tignes Les Brevieres

Advantages: Off piste skiing is vast
Disadvantages: resort can be a bit quiet (could be a good thing!!)

I've just come back from a 10-day trip to Tignes Les Brevieres, The lowest of the Tignes ski area at only 1550ft people may think there would be little snow, this is where they are very wrong in the village we had over 1.5meters of snow! The Village of Les Brevieres is quite quiet with only a hand full of bars and restaurants but all top class establishments. The Restaurants are very well priced not extortionate prices that you find on the pistes and in Val D'isere, A mixture of foods are available at these restaurants from fondue to pizza, so perfect for adults and kids. There is a few bars and one nightclub called le underground under the Chalet Chardon's (in the centre of town opposite Vincent's bar) this is where most of the seasonaires and everyone else ends up for the end of the night for a session of drinking, table foot ...

Review of Tignes

Tignes, go Skiing!

Advantages: Ski to your door, huge number of runs, great off piste, nice bars, crazy dutch party bar!
Disadvantages: No great clubs, you have to leave to come home!

I made the visit to Tignes Val claret last year (2006) and was lucky enough to be staying with friends who owned 2 apartments there so didn't have the cost of accommodation to worry about so sorry can't comment on that. I paid 30pounds each way for flight from Liverpool to Geneva and then had a bus into Tignes from there. I arrived about 4PM so quickly dropped my things off at the apartment and sorted my lift pass and rented skis etc for the week that I would be there ready for the next day! The lift pass was great value as for the week I paid just over 100pounds though I am informed that this has increased in price this year as you would imagine. For this though you are able to ski across the 3 valleys of Tignes, le lac and Val D'isere. That is a massive amount of top quality pistes and just as much off piste skiing. I spent ...

Review of Tignes

tignes- a resort for people of all abilities

Advantages: loads of runs, this resort would keep anyone amused
Disadvantages: limited unless you buy the slighty more expensive lift pass

I've been on a lot of ski hloidays but i can honestly say that tignes was the best resort yet! Its a huge area with thousands of exiting runs. If you get the 'acess all areas pass then you can ski all over the area which gives you a lot of variety and you would be lucky to fit it all in in one holiday. I stayed at tigne val claret but the area covers tigne la lac and all the other local valleys etc. If your lucky (like I was) you'll be staying in a hotel where you can ski right up to your door. This is great because you dont have to bother with any innoying buses or walking up hills to catch ski lifts! I would recomend this resort to anybody snowboarders or skiers! ...
