A choice of pistes adapted to all skills and styles

The ski area offers an impressive and extensive choice of different pisted runs adapted to all skills, from the very beginner to the most advanced level. Thanks to 156 prepared slopes totaling 300km, everyone will find the slopes that best suit their style and level of competency. The 90 lifts spread across the ski area will quickly and comfortably bring all the skiers and boarders into the different parts of the ski area.

Beginners will first learn the skiing basics on the slopes located at the “Rond point des pistes” at the bottom of the Grande Motte funicular in Val Claret. After 1 or 2 days they will get more confident and will be able to go down the blue slopes of the Tufs/Bolin/Fresse area in Val Claret and will at the end of the week be probably ready to go down the blue slopes at the top of the Grande Motte funicular.

Intermediate skiers/boarders will have a wide choice, given the numerous possibilities whether on the blue or red slopes of the Tignes&Val d’Isère ski area.

The advanced skiers and boarders will enjoy the wide choice of challenging slopes of the Tignes&Val d’Isère ski area and might also be inclined to get off the pistes given the great number of off piste routes. With its numerous off piste routes and regular slopes that lead to Tignes and Val d’Isère through forests and villages, but also with its powder and wide open slopes, the Tignes&Val d’Isère ski area is the right place for passionate and fanatic skiers and boarders.

The most advanced will even be eager to try going down the famous Rocher de Bellevarde olympic track, which is now open to public, unless they prefer the bumpy tracks on the massif de Solaise, or the skicanyoning routes of the Gorges de Malpasset.On top of the pisted runs of the Tignes&Val d’Isère ski area, there are also 6 slalom parks, 1 bump park, 2 snow parks and 1 gliss’park available for those who are eager for even more!

Although we know that the skiing and boarding possibilities on and off the pistes in the Tignes &Val d’Isère ski area are almost infinite, we believed it was useful to bring this opportunity to your attention. To take advantage of this offer the day spent in the other ski area must be in the period of validity of your lift pass and you must collect a countermark from a lift company cash desk in Tignes that will be valid in the other ski area.
