Tignes comprises five villages of varying altitudes (from 1,550 – 2100m) and offers some of the finest lift-accessed slopes in Europe – or anywhere else in the world. Of the five villages, Val Claret (2,100m) has easy access to the glacier and, together with Tignes Le Lac just down the road, it’s the most convenient place to stay, giving you the pick of the hotels, restaurants and shops.
The village of Tignes Le Lavachet is very slightly lower in altitude but offers ski-in / ski-out accommodation.
Further down the mountain at 1,800m and 1,550m respectively are the satellites of Tignes Les Boisses (aka Tignes 1800) and Tignes Les Brévières.
