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. "
