Skiing

Espace Killy, linking Tignes and Val d'Isere, is one of the biggest and best ski areas in the world offering 300km of marked piste and a multitude of off-piste opportunities. It offers something for everyone from beginners to experts, from gentle nursery slopes to steep off-piste couloirs. Chalet Chardon is in the village of Tignes le Lac and Chalet Tournavel is near Val Claret, both of which are at 2100m. Tignes is truly a snowsure resort offering skiing from 1550m up to glacier skiing at 3450m.

The Ski Club of Great Britain say this about the Espace Killy…… "The quality of the skiing in the area is so varied and demanding that it has raised a whole generation of international experts who never ski anywhere else. "
