They are mostly owned by local families with a passion for their trade. The village enjoys a delightful selection of lively bars for apres-ski including La Moose and Dickie's Bar. Tignes is a fantastic ski resort that sits at a very high altitude. It is famous for its record snowfalls and is linked brilliantly with Val d'Isere as part of L'Espace Killy. It is one of the best European destinations for skiers and snowboarders to carve up the slopes. In Tignes, Val Claret sits at 2100 metres high at the foot of the Grande Motte funicular.

According to ‘The Good Ski and Snowboarding Guide', Tignes and Val d'Isere together are one of the only two ski areas in France listed as ‘snow-sure resorts'. Tignes is excellent for all levels of skier and offers five free lifts for beginners. L'Espace Killy is actually open eleven months of the year, thanks to the La Grande Motte Glacier. It backs onto the peaks of the Italian border too. You can ski the glacier in the summer months. The funicular railway that takes skiers to the panoramic platform at 3030m takes just seven minutes. It is worth the ride just for the view! The Perce-Neige funicular took four years to construct and transports three thousand people per hour t
