Tignes is an unmissable resort in the Vanoise massif that consists of several villages, including Tignes 1800. Despite the traditional architecture, it is the last hamlet that was built.

Tignes 1800, a renaissance

The first buildings in Tignes 1800 were inaugurated in 2013. The houses in the village may seem to have been built in an authentic Savoyard style, and that is because they were in fact a product of the Les Boisses hamlet renovation project. A replica of the church engulfed after the dam was built in 1952 can also be found at Tignes 1800. This village with all the mod cons was designed for families. Shops and ski lifts: everything is within easy reach while you enjoy the peace and quiet of a village!

The Tignes 1800 ski area

The ski area of Tignes 1800 has a total of 150 km. The Grande Motte glacier enables you to make your first downhill runs from October onwards. At the heart of the season, 6 green, 38 blue, 20 red and 16 black pistes provide a lovely variety of downhill skiing. Tignes hosted the X Games and therefore freestylers can enjoy 2 snow parks, a half-pipe and a boarder cross course. For your first jumps and tricks, head for the Gliss'Park which has features to suit everyone. Approximately twenty kilometres are reserved for cross-country skiing.

During your holidays in Tignes 1800, you will also be able to access the Val-d'Isère ski area. You then have an additional 150 km of downhill skiing and you can also enjoy another snowpark or discover 20 km of new cross-country itineraries.

Things to discover in Tignes 1800

Take advantage of your stay in Tignes 1800 to visit the church and discover the magnificent baroque interior. On the shores of the lake, young and old alike can enjoy a magical moment in the igloo village on the ice shelf, where Inuit games and a curling rink are available to holidaymakers. The lake is also the place to learn to ice dive, an amazing experience.

Tignes 1800 is a recently renovated village, steeped in serenity. After a day of skiing in an area suitable for all levels, you can recharge your batteries in complete tranquillity.
