Tignes, five villages and a lake
Tignes is not one centre but five sites staggered from 1,550 m to 2,100 m: Les Brévières, Les Boisses, Tignes 1800, Le Lac and Val Claret. Your chauffeur needs the name of your residence, not just “Tignes”: Les Brévières to Val Claret is 20 minutes of mountain road.
From the airport you climb past the Chevril dam after Bourg‑Saint‑Maurice: Tignes is the last stop before Val d'Isère, 20 minutes further over the pass. The Grande Motte glacier opens in October.
