Is Tignes Val Claret Perfect for you?
Tignes has such a beautiful ski area it’s really
amazing the fact that it’s link with Val d’Isère it’s an extra bonus
The villages, the ski resorts themselves
they’re not the prettiest but they’re very convenient
and obviously purpose built a lot of
the properties are ski-in ski-out or just a few steps away
which is really really nice
I must say the Villages lack a bit of charm
like your nice wood and stone
you don’t really get that at Tignes but the ski area
is just stunning really really nice on the other hand
they are starting to make some improvements
but for the villagers that are further down
like around Tignes 1800 and Tignes Les Brevières
where they’re more your village style if you say
with stone and wood so if you’re after more village atmosphere
head down there otherwise for the more
entertaining bars and things like that
head to Tignes Le Lac or
Tignes Val Claret for the party scene
you can see the hole in the rock
l’Aiguille Percée over there
we’re going to go and check it out
you may have seen that famous rock in Tignes
which is where you see can see
Candide Thovex doing some crazy tricks through it
we’ll have a look at it in a minute
you quite often get a nice weather in Tignes as
well , it’s quite high in altitude so because of its elevation
it’s snow sure and snow guaranteed pretty much
throughout the whole winter it opens early
in late early December late November and then all
the way till May so if you’re a bit worried about
the snow conditions which is fair enough these
days head over to Tignes you’ll be guaranted some
snow from December anytime January and
even in springtime March is a great time to
come April there’s still plenty of snow don’t
worry about that and unlike other villages
and ski resorts where around 1,000m like Megève,
Chamonix, all those little low altitude Villages
they’re pretty scary to book in advance because
you don’t know what you’re going to get but with
the high altitudes like Tignes, Val Thorens
Les Arcs, all those ski areas
Val d’Isère, Courchevel 1850 and so on
they’re high up so you’re
going to have some really good snow conditions
throughout the winter so for snow sure holidays
head to those ski resorts and Tignes is one of them
lots of activities as well I’ve mentioned it before
so you can do all your ice diving, ice driving
you got paragliding like most ski resorts do
i highly recommend doing paragliding it’s such
a fun activity definitely high on the thrills and adrenaline
Tignes has the unique BUN J RIDE which
is the bungee jumping you can do in Ski
and Snowboard many more activities as well you
can obviously do things like CrossCountry skiing
as well and just check Evolution 2 or check
on the check out the Tignes website

great view of Tignes Le Lac and Tignes Val Claret, Tignes 2100
it’s all new and fresh at the top of the Aiguille Rouge
and you got another big Tignes sign
just in case you didn’t know you’re in Tignes
Tignes Val Claret is a humming village thanks to its amenities. But its location puts it right in the middle of all the action. Here, you can get all the way up to the Grande Motte glacier, which is open for summer skiing too.
Similar to Tignes Le Lac, Tignes Val Claret is not particularly pretty but has a really good high altitude location with an easy access to the Val d’Isère skiarea. The skiing from here is amazing, and with a unique range of winter activities on offer such as Moonbike (NEW 100% Electric Snow Bike), BUN J RIDE (bunjy jumping with skis), Microflights (ultra light motorized aircrafts like micro planes) just to name a few….
Tignes Val Claret is definitely the best village for après and nightlife.
