A SUMMARY
The skiing in Tignes alone is just fantastic. The lift system and pistes are so well planned (of course the resort was created with the Three Valleys in mind).
There is something for everyone which is unusual in one resort. There are fantastic easy green and blues for adult beginners and children alike with gondolas which service them avoiding the need for chairs and drag lifts in the first few days.
Then there are pistes for intermediates as well as challenging runs and off piste for advanced skiers.
