The resort
Tignes Val Claret
Val Claret is the highest part of Tignes, at 2,100 metres. It is the natural starting point for the highest slopes of the ski area and for the Grande Motte glacier.
Winter
Together with Val d'Isère, Tignes forms a ski area of 300 kilometres of slopes, one of the highest in the Alps.
From Val Claret, the Perce-Neige funicular climbs towards the Grande Motte glacier, then the cable car reaches 3,456 metres.
The dates you can stay are those shown in each apartment's calendar.
Summer
In summer, Tignes changes face: the lake, the golf course, the hiking trails and the bike park for all levels.
When conditions allow, there is still skiing on the Grande Motte glacier, from late June to mid-July, in the mornings.
