Exploring the Different Areas of Tignes

One of the best things about Tignes is the variety of terrain. From gentle beginner slopes to long cruising runs, steeper pistes and extensive freeride opportunities, there’s something for every level of snowboarder.

 

Val Claret provides access to the high-altitude terrain around the Grande Motte, while Tignes Le Lac connects you to several different sectors and neighbouring Val d’Isère. Lower down, the slopes towards Tignes 1800 and Les Brévières offer a different side of the mountain.

 

With so much variety, there’s always somewhere new to explore, whether you’re finding your feet, building confidence or looking for more challenging terrain.
