The Ski Club in Tignes ...
We keep coming back and are proud to host our Reps Course here each winter.
Tignes shares the huge Tignes-Val d’Isère ski area with its eponymous neighbour Val d’Isère. Between the two there are 300km of pistes for all abilities, ranging from long gentle greens to seriously steep off piste. The lift system is very good after a lot of investment in recent years and even if the natural white stuff is lacking, a powerful snowmaking system and the Grande Motte Glacier ensure that snow reliability is as good as it gets.There are four separate villages to choose from. If you’re looking for guaranteed snow, good value accommodation, a lively nightlife and maximum practicality then Val Claret and Le Lac are your best bets. For a quieter, wooded setting then either Les Boisses and Les Brévières make a great base – especially for families.

Resort ActivitiesPros and cons
-
Fantastic snow record – the best early-season bet
-
Loads of great, varied terrain shared with Val
-
Large areas of lift served off piste
-
Lots of convenient, ski-in-ski-out accommodation
- Bleak, treeless setting with lifts prone to closure in bad weather
- Still a few long, slow chairlifts that need replacing
- Quite a long transfer and road prone to closure in snowstorms
- Resort can appear a bit stark and high-rise for some
On the Slopes
The slopes that make up the Tignes ski area are as snowsure as they come and offer great options for all abilities. There are good learning areas in both Val Claret and Le Lac, although these can be plagued by fast through traffic at the start and end of the day. For intermediate skiers the options are almost endless across the entire Espace Killy and the area is home to some of the finest off piste terrain in France.
For Beginners
For Intermediates
For Advanced/Expert & Off Piste
In the Resort
Le Lac is probably the hub and is ideal for families as the best beginner zone is right at its heart, but each of the four main villages have their own centre and their own atmosphere. Val Claret is the most convenient base and has a vast range of mostly self-catered accommodation, but also some hotels. Both are lively at après time and well into the night. Les Boisses and Les Brévières are quieter and prettier, but access to the slopes of Val takes longer.
For Families
The options are great and there are loads of English-speaking companies that can assist with childcare. Le Lac is ideal as it’s right next to the best nursery slopes, but the lower villages are quieter. Off the snow there is loads to do, including an excellent swimming pool with slides in Le Lac, whilst the lake itself is a hub of winter activities – which includes dog sledding.
For Après
Tignes is one of the Alps’ liveliest resorts and the bars of both Le Lac and Val Claret fill up quickly at the end of the ski day – including Loop Bar, Le Coffee, Couloir and Drop Zone. Keen revellers should head to the Folie Douce above Val d’Isère – just don’t miss the last lift up the Tommeuses and note that the ski down from the Tovière isn’t the easiest. If you want to continue the party into the early hours, Melting Pot is usually full of seasonnaires.
Getting to Tignes
As it sits right at the end of the valley, the transfer to Tignes is quite a long one. Chambéry is the closest airport at around two hours away, whilst Geneva sits approximately three hours away. Lots of companies offer shared transfers, especially from Geneva.
A great option is to travel by train, catching the Eurostar and TGV to the town of Bourg St Maurice in the valley before grabbing a quick bus transfer up to the resort. Check out the Ski Club’s Guide to travelling to resort by train.
- Chambéry airport: 2 hours (driving)
- Geneva airport: 3 hours (driving)
- Eurostar & TGV: 8-10 hours from London
- Calais: approximately 12 hours driving (618 miles)

Updated 21/01
After a steady period for the French Alps, there is a return to snowy conditions for many areas as this week concludes and into the weekend.
Low pressure marches steadily up the Atlantic Coast of the continent, bringing stormy conditions for the UK and Ireland – Storm Éowyn – but the meeting point between low and high will be right over the Swiss and French Alps. This will allow unsettled conditions to move in and encourage cold air to come in from the north, creating unsettled weather for the region.
Cloud will give way to cloud and snow from Wednesday onwards, with 30cm of snowfall expected down across higher ground on that day. Note this will fall predominantly across higher ground, as the freezing line crawls up to around 2,000m at the same time. Temperatures will fluctuate for the rest of the weekend, staying around 0 degrees during the day, but dropping off to -10°C overnight.
Another bout of snowfall is expected on Sunday, with 15cm expected down on Sunday. Again, this will be limited to higher ground because of where the freezing line sits for much of this time.

Kathy Illingworth
Repping dates: 18/01/2025 - 01/02/2025I fell in love with skiing on a school ski trip as a teenager. Since then I have managed 1 or 2 weeks on snow most seasons. Having recently completed the Reps Course I’m excited to get the opportunity to spend more time in the mountains, hopefully phasing in more skiing with less time in my day job. Outside of skiing I enjoy windsurfing, sailing, hiking and mountain biking. I enjoy travelling, particularly exploring Europe in our camper van.
Susan Leese
Repping dates: 01/02/2025 - 15/02/2025In the winter time I get to the mountains as often as work allows. In the summer I get my hands on whatever dinghy is available to sail and have a go at wakeboarding. At home I run road and cross country with Victoria Park Harriers. Looking forward to getting out on the slopes with other members, sharing a few stories and a cheeky apres ski vin chaud!
Ian Caldwell
Repping dates: 15/02/2025 - 01/03/2025I started skiing at the age of 25 then taking a long break from skiing until my early 40's, as a consequence I can empathise with late starters. The Ski Club has provided a great environment to improve my ski skills, enjoying days on-piste with friends as well as developing a taste for the back country and off-piste. It has given me opportunities to ski in wonderful places meeting a variety of like-minded people. For me skiing is about making the most of the mountain and having fun! In addition to skiing, in the summer I enjoy the outdoors walking as well as being a regular cyclist. If we haven't met already, I hope to meet you on the slopes.
Adrian Lamb
Repping dates: 01/03/2025 - 15/03/2025I found enthusiasm for skiing, following a school trip to Aufach in Austria. Since then, I have skied most years in Europe. My favourite ski areas are 4 Vallees, Espace Killy & Trois Vallees. Other resorts I have enjoyed include Zermatt, Cortina d'Ampezzo and St Anton.
As well as skiing, I enjoy slogging across the sands of the Surrey Hills on my mountain bike in order to maintain a modicum of fitness. In addition, I enjoy bodyboarding with my family in North Devon/Cornwall.
Outside of leisure time I work as a Chartered Surveyor.
