5 Quick Tips To Leave you with
1. Book your ski lessons with British Alpine well in advance. Peak weeks book up very early and other weeks fill up.
2. Some of the best skiing is when everyone else is at lunch so the slopes are empty.
3. Book meals and activities before you arrive as all the best places fill up.
4. Avoid transfers on a Saturday, if you can or set off in plenty of time.
5. Download the Val D’Isere App with a live bus feed and all the up to date lift and slope opening information.
Welcome, snow enthusiasts, skiers, and families seeking the ultimate ski adventure! Tignes, with its awe-inspiring glacier, offers a playground for your winter escapades like no other. Get ready to dive into the top 5 experiences that make Tignes a must-visit destination for skiing enthusiasts.
1. Glacier Skiing
Embark on an extraordinary journey as you conquer the slopes of the Grande Motte Glacier. With its year-round skiing opportunities. 3656M up on a mountain is an experience in itself. Your BASS guide can VIP you through the long queues to board the mighty cable care to the top and then pilot you safely down the sprawling red run or exciting black run all the way down to Tignes Val Claret at 2100M without stopping.
2. Panoramic Views
Indulge in the breathtaking panoramic views from the glacier's summit, offering a picturesque scene that will leave you in awe. The stunning vistas of snow-capped peaks and the alpine landscape are truly a feast for the eyes. A trip up the L' Aiguille Percée to take a look through the eye of the needle is a must. The red slopes up there are a favourite spot for BASS instructors to develop your short turns.
3. Off-Piste Adventures
For the adventurous souls, Tignes presents an array of off-piste skiing opportunities that promise an adrenaline rush like no other. Dive into the untouched snow and carve your own path down the slopes. The open snow fields above Val Claret and Le Lac are a stunning place to build skills and confidence before conquering backcountry routes down the Sash or Trifollet. It's a must to book a BASS off piste instructor to train and guide you. They'll meet you at the Tignes Spirit shop to rent your off piste kit before heading out on your adventure where they will keep you safe, find you the best snow and enhance the whole experience.
