Winter::
The apartment provides sleeping accommodation for up to 6 adults in two rooms. There are 2 single beds and a double mezzanine bed in the bedroom and 1 new double and 2 single sofabeds in the living room. All duvets and pillows are provided but clients will have to bring their own bedlinen and towels. There is a well-equipped kitchen, bathroom with over bath shower and a separate toilet. The skiing in limitless - linked with neighbouring Val d'Isere, there are more than enough lifts and runs to suit all tastes and abilities. The recently upgraded resort has every amenity available, including 30 restaurants in Val Claret alone. The apartment location is particularly convenient for families with young children - being so close to ski schools, and skiing to and from the back door. Snowboarders are very well catered for in Tignes with a special snowboard park in Val Claret at the foot of the Grande Motte.
Summer::
Tignes is a superb summer holiday resort at the edge of the Vanoise National Park. In addition to the wealth of summer sporting activities, skiing is possible most of the year on the Grande Motte glacier. Thirteen lifts are open with 50km of pistes, descending 1000 metres. Numerous courses are on offer for skiers and snowboarders throughout the summer season (July and August). Tignes also has a superb 18 hole golf course, the highest course in Europe, as well as 50 tennis courts, squash courts, fishing, mountain climbing, walking, horse riding, mountain biking, white water rafting and many other activities on offer in the summer. Many of these activities are included on the summer lift pass.
During the summer of 2006 the new spectacular water sports centre in Tignes Le Lac (Le Lagon) opened. This new indoor facility opened in July 2006 and boasts a fabulous swimming and watersports centre on the edge of the lake in Tignes Le Lac.
Ski:
The ski resort continues to go from strength to strength. There is an extensive lift replacement programme until 2010 when almost all of the lifts in the Espace Killy ski area will have been replaced by high speed geared express lifts - making the lift queue a thing of the past. Tignes is the only resort that I know of that no matter how many skiers are on the slopes at any one time, there is never a lift queue. This is one resort that has got it right!! Why put up with queueing? Come to Tignes and ski!!
