Book your rental at Tignes, a high-altitude resort with guaranteed snow
Perched at an altitude of 2,100 meters, at the very end of the Tarentaise Valley (Savoie), the ski resort Tignes gives you the exhilarating feeling of spending your vacation on another planet!
Once you’ve passed the massive Chevril hydroelectric dam, a whole world of high mountains gradually unfolds before you: first, Lake Chevril on your left, whose water changes color with the seasons. Then the Grande Motte Glacier, which appears as you round a bend, promising memorable ski runs (or a comforting hot chocolate at over 3,000 meters in altitude).
Your vacation rental in Tignes, a charming little mountain town
Once you pass the “ Tignes le Lac” sign, the sports and recreational facilities of a true mountain town come into view, offering all the comforts and services you’d expect—plus the view. Because yes, at Tignes, you can unplug. But only when you feel like it! At any time, you can take a break from your “digital detox” to book a raclette for 10 at the cheese shop (or a badminton game at the Tignespace sports center); check the opening hours for the Lagon pool; drool over the menu at Ursus, the resort’s Michelin-starred restaurant; or even let yourself be tempted by the movie lineup.
Keep your eyes peeled: spectacular mountain peaks come into view through the floor-to-ceiling windows of your rental in Tignes
Think about the view you had this morning while eating breakfast. Now, mentally replace the building across the street with (your choice of): the Grande Motte glacier (3,653 m), the Grande Casse (the highest peak in the Vanoise, 3,855 m), or the Grande Sassière (Europe’s highest summer hiking destination, 3,747 m). Can you feel how your butter-and-jam toast or your traditional Sunday croissant has suddenly taken on a special flavor against the backdrop of the mountains? That’s the “ Tignes ” effect!
Explore breathtaking landscapes from your rental in Tignes
The French Alps are home to countless treasures, protected within national parks and nature reserves. In Tignes, in the Tarentaise Valley, you’re right at the gateway to three protected areas: the Vanoise National Park, the Tignes-Champagny Nature Reserve, and the Grande Sassière Nature Reserve. In both winter and summer—whether on ski tours, snowshoes, or hiking boots—set out to explore these magnificent mountain landscapes from your rental in Tignes (and return home even more convinced of the need to preserve them).
