Travelling and doing touristy things is always fun. There is no better sensation than exploring the world around you and feeling connected with nature.

In order to have fun and get to know new places, you need to decide where you want to go and make all the necessary arrangements. It is hard to choose one out of so many brilliant winter destinations. However, we are here to say that we have found the best one! Tignes is the best ski resort, and everyone should visit it in winter. Why is that so?

Reason 1: Grande Motte glacier

The characteristic that makes the Tignes resort stand out from all the others in the area and in the world is the glacier at its summit. It is so important for the skiing conditions of the establishment that it has been used as inspiration for the logo of the resort. It is easily accessible as there are ski lifts and cable cars that take skiers up the glacier. And when we say “up”, we mean at an altitude of 3656 metres. Thus, as you can gather from its altitude alone, this is the perfect place for people who love skiing on fresh snow and having such dramatic scenery around them.

Reason 2: A huge skiing area

Nobody wants to ski in a crowded piste, and in the peak winter season this is a problem that especially novice or intermediate skiers face. However, you won’t have to worry about such a thing if you go to the Tignes. Booking ski passes on Erna Low is the secret to taking full advantage of the area because they will give you access to the Val D’Isere ski resort, which is next to Tignes. This entails that you will be able to ski in an area of over 300 kilometres.

Reason 3: Skiers of all levels are welcome

It doesn’t matter if this is the first or the millionth time you have gone skiing. In the Tignes and Val D’Isere ski areas, there are excellent pistes for people of all levels. To be more exact, there are 21 green, 67 blue, 41 red, 29 black and 5 cross-country skiing pistes. So, it is impossible not to be able to find at least one out of the 163 pistes to put your skills to the test. Also, it is worth mentioning that ski lessons are offered.

Reason 4: More than just skiing

Although skiing and snowboarding are the main reasons why people come to Tignes, the ski resort offers many more wintery and outdoor activities that visitors can do. There are some easy and relaxing activities, such as snowshoeing, snowmobiling and horse riding on the snow, while others are a bit more extreme, such as ice climbing, ice diving and Bun J Riding. Thus, you can gather all your skier and non-skier friends and create fun memories that you will cherish forever.
