The 31 best things to do with kids in Tignes

Beautiful yet lively spot with lots to do.

good view of the lake and mountains. On one side is a dam. Swimming is forbidden because of underwater currents. uncomfortable descent to the water, there are no areas for recreation or picnic

Nice lake for contemplating mountains around or walking or jogging. Base station for skiing and hiking activities.

We stayed at the Le Lac region during our stay in Tignes for snowboarding. The lake looked quite small when I first got there since it was covered by snow but realised it was frozen over in winter and people were actually walking across it. The area is nice with plenty of accommodation and restaurants. There is also a playground by the lakeside by the bridge as well as tennis and basketball courts (which were covered in snow in winter). It was quite a scenic area and really nice when you went up into the mountains on the gondolas.

Beautiful place. The mountains and the lake are amazing. The staff of the station during the summer is great and tons of activities

Awesome area, great snow.

Great resort. Good bus service

(Translated by Google) Complicated access... Arrived up there, a club for 4 par of order everyone does what they want too bad a little shabby when you look at the golf course next door it's 2 rooms 2 atmospheres... Fortunately we didn't have not paid for it is included in our pass but too bad... (Original) Accès compliqué... Arrivé là haut, un club pour 4 par d'ordre chacun fait ce qu'il veut dommage un peu défraîchi quand on regarde le golf a côté c'est 2 salles 2 ambiances ... Heureusement on n'a pas payé c'est inclus dans notre pass mais dommage comme même...

(Translated by Google) The entrance is not that easy to find, a better indication would be nice. A course themed around winter sports disciplines is something different. Furthermore, little decoration. Can also be done in bad weather. Don't forget to play the extra holes, because they don't tell you this at the reception. (Original) De ingang is niet zo makkelijk te vinden, een betere aanduiding zou fijn zijn. Parcours in het thema van de wintersportdisciplines is eens wat anders. Verder weinig aankleding. Ook te doen bij slecht weer. Vergeet de extra holes niet te spelen, want dit geven ze aan het onthaal niet mee.

(Translated by Google) Great for having a good time, there are a multitude of things to do around the mini golf course with original archery and ping pong courses. It just lacks trees for shade. Because even in the mountains the sun beats down. Sportingly (Original) Super pour passer un bon moment il y une multitude de choses à faire au tour du mini golf avec des parcours originaux tir à l'arc et table de ping pong . Il manque juste des arbres pour de l'ombre. Car même en montagne le soleil cogne. Sportivement

(Translated by Google) Mini golf course in good condition. With the possibility of parking in the car park just below. 18 holes not very complicated and very welcoming staff! (Original) Mini golf en bon état . Avec possibilité de se garer au parking juste en bas. 18 trous pas très compliqué et personnel très accueillant !

(Translated by Google) I like the idea of ​​the theme with winter sports disciplines. Afterwards the place is not very pleasant, a little sad, perhaps due to lack of trees, but we can't help that. The courses lack fun for my taste. The fixings of the iron sculptures often get in the way, without making the journey interesting. I rather recommend discovering golf, via the mid-golf course right next door. (Original) J'aime bien l'idée du thème avec les disciplines sportives d'hiver. Après le lieu n'est pas très agréable, un peu triste, peut-être faute d'arbres, mais ça on n'y peut rien. Les parcours manquent de fun à mon goût. Les fixations des sculptures en fer gênent souvent, sans rendre le parcours intéressant. Je recommande plutôt la découverte du golf, via le terrain de mid-golf juste à côté.

(Translated by Google) Firstly, the people at reception are very unpleasant, plus they force us to book in advance for a round even though when I went there the course was empty... As for the golf, the holes are very little fun to play, with no extravagance or interesting obstacles. Mini golf is basically an activity which is very entertaining but which becomes annoying when it comes to this one... I strongly advise you not to go there. (Original) Premièrement, les personnes à l’accueil sont très désagréable, de plus il nous oblige a réserver a l’avance pour une partie alors que quand j’y suis allé le terrain était vide... En ce qui concerne le golf, les trous sont très peu amusant à jouer, sans extravagance ni obstacle intéressant. Le minigolf est de base une activité qui est très divertissante mais qui devient agaçante en ce qui concerne celui ci... Je vous déconseille fortement d’y aller.

(Translated by Google) The reception was more than unpleasant, I had to wait 15 minutes before being told that I had to book, once I called the number provided to book, no one picked up. The installation is aging, the mytignes card was fortunately free because it was only used for the ski lifts. Prefer a walk around the lake (Original) Accueil plus que désagréable, j'ai du attendre 15min avant qu'on ne me dise qu'il fallait réserver, une fois appeler le numéro fourni pour réserver personne ne décroche. L'installation est vieillissante, la carte mytignes était heureusement gratuite car elle n'a servi que pour les remontées mécaniques. Préférez une balade autour du lac

We had the pleasure of taking two 3-hour ski lessons with Mikey while we were in Tignes, and we can’t recommend him enough! From the very first lesson, he made us feel at ease with his relaxed and fun approach. We had such a laugh the entire time! Mikey’s patient guidance helped build our confidence on the slopes, and by the end of our time, we were back on the mountain feeling much more comfortable and even attempting 360 turns! His enthusiasm and positive energy made all the difference- we couldn’t have asked for a better instructor! If you’re looking to improve your skiing in Tignes, Mikey’s your man!

This is the second time we’ve used Ultimate and they never disappoint. Tom was an absolute superstar with me and my two boys - encouraging, positive and flexible. Our skiing has improved dramatically across three private lessons and we’re all delighted, especially as two of us are quite anxious skiers. Hopefully we’ll be back!

I couldn’t recommend Tom highly enough! I’ve used Tom for both snowboard & ski coaching, some 5 years apart and loved every second of every session! He’s reliable, knowledgable, professional, friendly & experienced. I’ve had ski lessons previously but haven’t touched my skis since 2021 so was more than apprehensive when clicking in this morning. Within 2 hours I was attempting switch & little jumps with some success.

Mike was a brilliant instructor and fun company too. Managed to teach the whole family (3 kids and 2 adults) adapting to our slightly differing needs. We've all improved over the week - 3 x2 hour lessons worked well. Kids weren't keen on ski school again, this was a great solution. Highly recommend

Fantastic Ski Instructor – Highly Recommend! Tom was absolutely brilliant with Amelie and Xander during their ski lessons in Tignes. We’ve never had a ski instructor they’ve loved so much! He made everything so much fun, and their confidence on the slopes improved massively under his guidance. Tom’s teaching style was engaging, encouraging, and perfectly suited to their level. Beyond the lessons, he also gave us great recommendations for things to do in Tignes, which made our trip even better. I couldn’t recommend Tom and his team enough – a fantastic experience all around!

We had a 3 hr lesson with Matt last week and he was absolutely first class. Super experienced, very friendly, clear instruction and great stories - cant believe how much my 13 year daughter improved in such a short space of time. Wouldn't hesitate to book with them again.

My kids (new to skiing) had 3 two hour lessons with Mike during our stay in Tignes. The team were great from my initial enquiry, through to booking and then arrival in Tignes. Mike was fantastic with the kids, who thoroughly enjoyed their lessons, progressed quickly, and thoroughly enjoyed their time with him. The kids felt that Mike really personalised the lessons and made them fun. Highly recommended and we'll definitely use them again if we're back in Tignes. Thanks very much.

The aquatic centre is right next to the Tignes Lake. Coming with local buses you can get on-off the bus at Tignespace few minutes walk or at Toviere bus stop. The town centre few minutes walking distance. During ski season many skiers in the open space in front the centre. The reception ladies speak English, are helpful. Payment by cash or card. The place is clean and tidy, wifi available. The swimming pool is nice offering relaxatio for swimmers, beginers or those who want to do laps. The changing and locker areas are warm and clean with showers. The gym isn't bad but don't expect a big room. In the morning until noon isn't crowded. Cardio and strengh training. The orices are a little high and combos can be done like swim+gym, spa+swim etc. The reception is big.

The water was freezing and impossible to enjoy. Our kids normally want to swim for hours and we only lasted about 15 minutes I literally had goosebumps and was shivering in the water. It was in no way relaxing nor enjoyable and a far cry from the amazing Japanese onsens you can visit after skiing there. Very disappointed we will not return.

This review is for the Gym: It's a well equipped gym with a good variety of equipment. It has 3 squat racks on a rig and a selection of 10s, 20s and some fractionals. The quantity of plates is fine if only two of the racks are in use, but could do with a larger selection if all three racks are in use. There used to be some 15s but they disappeared when an extra rack was added for some reason. The barbells are in ok condition, but one of them does not spin well so makes olympic lifting uncomfortable if you're stuck with that barbell. As for dumbbells, fortunately there is a decent selection again, but proportionally there is not really enough space, nor benches, to make full use of the selection when the gym is busy. Machines and ergs wise, again a good variety. Could do with a ski erg or another rower, especially as the 3 rowers are very close to each and so having all three in use is not really feasible. Plenty of spin bikes for the classes they run too. I would give the gym 4 stars, but I cannot. The single worst thing about the gym is that it only opens at 9am and given this is the only gym in Tignes, it makes it incredibly frustrating to not be able to get your workout done before your day, be it work, skiing or relaxing. This issue is exacerbated by the fact that naturally the gym gets incredibly busy in the afternoon/evening and by opening at 9am, it makes the rest of the day busier as those who train in the morning are forced to work around the 9am opening and increase busyness later in the day.

The front desk staff are blunt/unhelpful, it leaves a poor ambiance to the centre. Swimming pool is good and plenty for kids but the facilities are poor considering the high cost, such as hair driers not working. It's the second time I have found staff to be unhelpful and when speaking to other locals and seasionairs it is well known.

The gym was very small and basic for the price. The staff were mostly interested in checking multiple times if we had a towel and clean shoes which was a bit odd and not very welcoming. Once we were allowed inside the changing room wasn't very clean and most of the locker doors were missing. Pool looks nice but we were a bit put off going back after the gym experience.

Terrible service, pricy, no towels, hot tubs, not even slightly hot. You can't go into the wellness area if it's full. Waste of time and money. Dis recommendation. Very disappointed, especially after long day of skiing when all you want is to relax.

A great place to spend during a stormy day. The jacuzzi weren't hot enough. The saunas were really good.

Wow, what a wonderful and very eclectic place, certainly coming here again. We didn't have a meal, but enjoyed great service being looked after by great staff while enjoyed very nice wine. How I Mark. I may mark differently to some other reviewers, some might see this as harsh, others may see it as fair. But here's how I look at it: 5 star - WOW. I want to go back and look forward to doing so. They delivered everything expected and more. The 'more' is normally about the service or attitude of the staff. 4 star - GOOD. They delivered everything I wanted and a bit more. I recommend them and would go back. 3 star - OK. They delivered what I expected, I would go back if I needed to, although don't currently plan on doing so. 2 star - Not very good. I didn't get what I expected and the service wasn't good. I don't recommend this place. I might get dragged back here, although will always try to avoid it 1 star - RUBBISH. Don't go there, I certainly won't go there again. I didn't get what I wanted, the people were unhelpful and I didn't enjoy it in any way.

Brilliant place. Food amazing. Great service. Want somewhere a little different, with lots of bears, worth a visit.

We loved the atmosphere of this bar. We didn't have food so can't comment on that but the decor is amazing and the staff are really friendly. Its definitely worth a visit

Had a fantastic steak, one of the the best I've ever tasted. However, the waiter served us a €100 bottle of wine which we didn't order, then pretended to not speak any English when we enquired about it (he spoke perfect English to the table next to us). Come for the food, but keep your wits about you. They will try to take you for everything you've got.

Big success all round. Friendly staff, food was perfect and super chilled atmosphere for a 2pm relax. Had the local sausage dish which packed an awesome punch of flavours, not too rich or heavy. Also the steak skewer off the live bbq which was done to velvet perfection. Awesome views to go with it!

Nice concept restaurant with a wooden grill outside even in winter. For the English menu you need to scan a QR code and take a look after you change the language. The meat choices is quiet small with just a few choices (I would expect the meat selection to be bigger for this type of restaurant) The outdoor seating is nice, but the service was lacking (waited 15 minutes just to order, and another 30 minutes for the meal)

Great restaurant, good food and friendly service! Ordered the beef to share for two of us and it was amazing! Tasty and filling. Reasonable price for the area too!

Everything about the dinner was wrong starting with the service and everything went downhill from there, the waitress was for some reason disappointed with our order, it all started when she broke the glass and plate as she was clearing it right on top of us, glass pieces when everywhere she didn’t even apologize, then the onion soup came full of bacon on the inside, we couldn’t eat it, we asked for the steak to be medium well, it came almost raw, and they brought the fondu, which was mostly liquid not enough cheese, not stretchy at all, she forgot the bread cubes that come with it, and avoided eye contact for 10 minutes while we waited to tell her to bring the bread, finally her manager came and got the bread. The food was below average the service was Terrible and they basically ruined the night 😒

Decent food, but the waiters weren't that pleasant aside from one girl and they didn't really even know their own menu or which items were unlimited for their raclette. The cheese could be a bit stronger and there could be bread too. We did get a lot of cheese though.

The food was great and the atmosphere, but the service was really lacking here due to long intervals between servings

Last night, we had the misfortune of dining at this restaurant, where the staff's hospitality was as warm as the refrigerated fondue. The Service Our server greeted us with all the enthusiasm of a sleepy sloth. When asked for recommendations, she suggested the cheese fondue with the conviction of a hesitant witness in a courtroom. We took her lukewarm advice. The fondue arrived, resembling a sad, watery puddle. I half-expected a goldfish to swim by. The "rich, creamy" Gruyère promised on the menu was actually an insipid, flavorless broth. We dipped our bread, watching in dismay as it disintegrated into the cheesy abyss. Verdict If you're seeking a culinary experience that's equal parts disappointment and disdain, this place is your destination. But if you value your taste buds and sanity, dine elsewhere.

Dear Grattalu Staff, thank you for this great experience. We came twice and it was always top. Very nice people and professional staff, the food is delicious. This restaurant is clearly underrated. I can only recommend.

I didn’t expect this in La Lavachet. One of the best restaurants that I have been to in Tignes/ Val d’Isere. Camille was excellent. Food and attractions fantastic. Thank you. Peter Dickens

Fondue and Raclette were both good, good quality cheese and meat. Fast and pleasant service and nice atmosphere.

Eating at a one-star restaurant in a ski resort was a surprising first. We were welcomed by the chef with some lovely mushroom snacks and soup – they tasted fantastic right away. The decor was also really well done and cleverly incorporated a forest theme (though the leafy ceiling print wasn't my favourite bit, to be honest). The service was excellent; they explained each dish clearly and even wore gloves when changing our cutlery, which was a nice touch. The food overall was very good. You could tell they used a lot of local ingredients and were creative with their cooking and presentation. I especially loved the truffle potato dish – it was brilliant. My only slight niggle was with the rainbow trout. It was cooked perfectly and was very tender, but I personally found it a little too fishy for my taste (even though I love fish and seafood). I'd probably prefer salmon. The cheese and blueberries dessert was also exceptional. I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. It was easy to book(we dined in end of season time), the prices were reasonable, and it actually felt like good value considering how expensive things can be in ski resorts. If you're after a fun, tasty dining experience with some interesting local touches, it's well worth it.

Amazing experience with a lot of attention to details. Food is good but the vegetarian option is extremely poor (the exact side dish of the « normal » menu) and charged the same. Also extremely salty that almost hurts the mouth. Price is very fair for two stars and the service level.

Mindblowing. An exceptional, emotional cuisine brought in a great setting and with outstanding hospitality and service. For me, the best fine dining experience of the last five years.

Wonderful culinary experience in a cosy place. I removed a star for lack of commercial attitude. My wife got sick and left for the better part of the meal. There was no sign of compassion either on the final bill or any other way. I know it cost almost as much as if she had been served all dishes, but that’s a cold way to look at it. Anyway, there are other ways than a discount to handle that, but we got none of that either. I didn’t post this a year ago but I was reminded of it after having another slightly underwhelming experience at the bar (slow & inattentive). I hope the service will improve in the future.

A very well deserved Michelin star and a notch better than some other 1-star restos we’ve tried in terms of flavor and service. It was truly a forest journey experience. Also a delight to be welcomed and sent off by the chef. We liked everything except for the veal which we found a tad salty and bitter. Wine pairing is also highly recommended.

Exquisite food, setting, service. You are welcomed in the “local forrest” of the chef and owner Mr Bouvier with almost all products coming from local forest and suppliers. We took the 5 course surprise menu ( there is also a 3 course), which is plenty of food together with all the amuses in between. The accompanying wines where perfect, local, but a bit to much in combination with the 5 courses. The food came at a bit to fast paste but were 1 by 1 worth the money!

Very good atmosphere and service ! The cuisine was under our expectations and not well executed. We didn’t like few plates from the longest menu. The promise of a local gastronomic tour was not taken by the cuisine..in general was a good experience.

Amazing activity - we had so much fun! Group of 5 adults + a 3yo kid (who absolutely loved it). Very friendly staff. I would totally recommend snowtubing as a great activity for families and friends. Thank you team!

Very professional team and very kind, all visitors with big smiles and had so much fine. Girls are kind and the boys have so many good ideas for safety and for fun. This is one of the best activities I’ve ever done. Thank you,

We had an unbelievably fun time Snowtubing in Tignes Val Claret! Romain was a brilliant staff member, working tirelessly and always with a smile on his face to send us all spinning down the slope laughing and screaming! 🙌🏻 We are a group of 7 24-year-olds and it was honestly one of the highlights of our trip! We paid for a half hour slot and it was so worth the money. Thank you Romain! 😁

Good fun. The magic carpet is convenient and the slope fast and gets your stomach in your mouth! One of the staff member’s dogs was chasing the tubes down the hill, barking at them, which could be off putting for some. The manager seemed to sort it out quickly. At one point they didn’t allow some children to clear the end before launching the next person off, which seemed concerning.

We had a lot of fun with the snow tubing experience. The people who ran the place were really good and proposed us different fun ways of descending down the slope. Must try with a group of people!

Brilliant experience, great staff. Teenagers 13-18 all loved it and could have stayed longer!

Went as a small group and had lots of fun. Workers helped us take many photos and videos, and their English was excellent as well.

We popped in for a cocktail and were hoping to dine but the menu was very basic, and ridiculous prices for what was on offer that you would find in every other restaurant or supermarket in town, we had hoped for some originality as it was attached to a Michelin. We desired to just have a drink I tried one of the special cocktails which was pleasant and it came with popcorn. The menu stated classic cocktails available for couldn’t make a dirty martini pretty much the most basic and classic cocktail you can get. Staff were all friendly and polite but I feel like maybe training had been rushed by management if preference of profit. We had booked to dine in the restaurant Ursus later that week but we canceled on the basis of the complete lack of atmosphere and the slower than slow service which considering we were the only people there and there was at least 4 staff is baffling. Maybe it’s better in winter?? The view is not inspiring, your essentially sat on a main road with no real mountain view, just cars and traffic. Also I take loads of photos but realised I hadn’t bothered taking a single one at our visit.

We came after visiting the chef remarkable restaurant locating up on the ski resort and were truly disappointed. All the dishes were bad! From the burger to the chicken, pasta and the openings. Prices are outrageous. Do yourself a favour and skip this place if you are looking to eat good food..

Stunning bar serving a vast menu of drinks and food. Great service slightly on the pricey side. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for an upscale experience.

Great service, great atmosphere. The cocktails look very good, and the menu for drinks is extensive. Will come back for sure!

Great music and I recommend the Gambas and blinis to share. The atmosphere is cozy. Great for nice apperitizers before going to dinner.

Big dog! Nice cocktails and free nibbles!!

Food is rich and lovely. Good for treating yourself.

Nice place to visit and recommendation will be dependent on use. We wanted to use the treadmills and most times had to wait up to 30 mins. That said ..it was probably the time of day..around 18:00. Poor air conditioning made it really difficult but this improved as the week went on as we acclimatised to the heat! Should have used the pool ..looked very inviting from the treadmill. Lots of families using the fun pool...without it being massively overcrowded. Glass backed squash courts as well. Would use again as the alternative is to run outside. Saw a few people doing this but unfamiliar to the area..thought best to stay in doors.

Lovely pool and spa/sauna complex. They don't force you to wear Speedos and cap like French public pools normally do, so much more relaxed! 😋 The jacuzzis are a bit too small and the saunas are not hot enough if you are used to lovely German or Finnish saunas. Oh and of course you have to wear clothes 😞 besides that it's great for a bad weather day 👍

I like coming here with the kids after a day of sking nice clean but on this occasion my wife’s trousers were stolen from the locker? After swim we found the locker open and trousers missing?

Been there twice in two days. Only to the cardio and muscle sections. Nice and spacious but the equipment are old and worn down. Everything I tried worked well enough though.

Always love a visit to the swimming pool. Nice part for playing and relaxing, and a 25m pool with 4 lanes for actual swimming. You can borrow a pair of goggles or arm bands for your kids if you forgot to put them in your bag, and if you're just here for a visit and haven't got a swimming costume, there's a small shop upstairs too. You can choose to go just to the pool, or buy an upgraded entry for the spa area too. It has a steam room, 3 different temperature saunas and 3 jacuzzis. If you know you're coming several times, the best value is a pass with 10 entries. The passes are for just one person, but you can carry them on to the next season. If you're here for just a week, buy a pass with 6 entries which you can share with others. There are also Badminton and squash courts, a gym, climbing walls, Basketball, a (very small) softplay, a café, a golf simulator and a driving simulator. Great place, definitely recommend!

A good place for your body and mind in the French Alps, after doing ski activities.

Great facilities. The 25m swimming pool and kids pool with water jets etc... are free to people with ski passes. The showers are open plan and the changing rooms aren’t gendered so you can share lockers with your family. (the lockers do give you your euro back) Although we didn’t go, there is gym, sauna and 2 climbing walls by the entrance. In all it was good there, it’s a great place to go if the conditions for skiing are terrible, but it’s probably most busy then.

Lovely apartment overlooking the slopes, spar shop hassle all you need. Pizza place was very good for food, 1800 restaurant had mixed reviews, the lamb stew was the best of all the meals. La Lac was more varied for eateries but I would look to book especially for your last night if staying at 1800 make sure that you checkboit the free bus times for the evening. Dontvbe stick waiting in the cold for a long time.

Two days between this video and the pictures. Five foot of snow overnight and still snowing in mid April. Positive of Tignes 1800 is that it's cheaper than high up. Negatives are: Pretty limited in terms of facilities, much more higher up and gondola only starts at 9am. Free buses go from the middle of 1800 which is only about 5 min away from most of it but you have to switch from Green bus serving 1550 and 1800 to a Blue route serving the two higher villages. Worth noting La Lagon (bigger swimming pool) is free and accessible via the buses.

Les Boisses is the second lowest ski area in Tignes. If you like a quieter location, this is your thing. There is only 1 lift that takes you over the mountain to the larger ski area of ​​Le Lac and Val Claret, or you can take the bus that runs every 15 minutes. There is little to do in Les Boisses. Only a few terraces and three restaurants, two (ski/sports) shops, a petrol station and a Spar grocery store. Everything, as expected, is rather expensive.

Quiet, perfect for families, only 1 restaurant, beautiful views, not for people who want to go out on the smash

Pretty town, worth the visit. Bus services were free. Loved it.

Stayed here in early April. Still ski in/out then. MMV Altaviva apartments were excellent, especially with the swimming pool and kids' entertainment. Very spacious for French apartments. Short walk for buses to Le Lac. Very pleasant staff and a nice restaurant in the complex.

Great place, had a lovely ski trip here. Stayed at CGH Kalinda. Only 4 stars as, although there's a regular free bus, and a gondola down to Tignes 1550 and up to the pistes, there is only a red run back in. The blues here were initially very taxing for the beginners with us, so we were confined to the green down to 1550 for a couple of days. Nice area, though. Pistes well groomed, lift attendants helpful.

Nice little theater, comfortable and cozy

Cute, comfortable little theatre.

Far too many people compared to the capacity of the room and no communication to warn people waiting in the cold. The icing on the cake, no health pass check outside the building, so everyone crowds at the entrance to pay for their place. Very very average given the current health context. It would be wise to plan more sessions during busy periods such as winter holidays... (Original) Catastrophique, arrivée 25 min avant le début de la séance. Attente de 40 min à l'extérieur dans le froid pour... RIEN ! Bien trop de monde par rapport à la capacité de la salle et aucune communication pour prévenir les personnes qui attendent dans le froid. Cerise sur le gâteau, pas de contrôle du pass sanitaire à l'extérieur du bâtiment, du coup tout le monde s'agglutine à l'entrée pour payer sa place. Très très moyen étant donné le contexte sanitaire actuel. Ce serait judicieux de prévoir plus de séances durant les périodes de fortes affluences type vacances d'hiver...

(Translated by Google) Magnificent summit, no technical difficulty. Pay attention to the length (4 to 5 hours of climbing), the difference in altitude (1500 m) and the altitude (3747 m), not all hikers are used to climbing this high, shortness of breath awaits them. untrained people... Also pay attention to the weather, the weather changes quickly at altitude and it is not uncommon for a hood of cloud to cling to the summit. Otherwise, exceptional viewpoint over all the Northern Alps. Best done at the end of summer. (Original) Magnifique sommet, aucune difficulté technique. Attention quand même à la longueur (4 à 5 h de montée), la dénivelée (1500 m) et l'altitude (3747 m), tous les randonneurs n'ont pas l'habitude de monter si haut, l'essoufflement guette les personnes non entraînées... Attention aussi à la météo, le temps change vite en altitude et il n'est pas rare qu'un capuchon de nuage s'accroche au sommet. Sinon, point de vue exceptionnel sur toutes les Alpes du Nord. A faire plutôt en fin d'été.

(Translated by Google) Ascent completed on 06/14/2025. As expected, snow was present from 3,100 m. At this time of year, it is extremely risky to climb to the summit without crampons or poles; we even saw someone give up. The first part of the hike from the parking lot is the most intense if you haven't warmed up properly; otherwise, it's the final ascent of the peak. The view from the top is incredible, provided the weather is good. Be careful, however, of the lack of oxygen, which can be detrimental if you are not used to it or if you forget to take breaks to acclimatize. (Original) Ascension réalisée le 14/06/2025. Comme prévu, de la neige était présente dès les 3100 m. À cette période il est à extrêmement risqué de grimper jusqu'au sommet sans crampons ni bâtons, nous avons même vu quelqu'un abandonner. La première partie de la randonnée depuis le parking est la plus intense si on ne s'est pas échauffé correctement, sinon il s'agit de l'ascension finale de l'aiguille. La vue une fois en haut est incroyable si tant est qu'on est la météo soit clémente. Attention toute fois au manque d'oxygène qui peut handicaper si l'on est pas habitué ou si l'on omet de faire des pauses pour s'acclimater.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent needle to assemble. The weather was unfortunately not optimal for finishing the ascent (recommendation from other hikers) and we preferred to abandon the ascent of the last 400 meters. (Original) Magnifique aiguille à monter. La météo n'était malheureusement pas optimale pour finir l'ascension (recommandation d'autres randonneurs) et nous avons préféré renoncer à l'ascension des 400 derniers mètres.

(Translated by Google) Hike done on 08/10/22. “Thanks or because” of the 2022 weather, the needle was snow-free. A physical hike for a bit of an athlete like me living in a flat region. To do to end your vacation, after a few days of acclimatization to the altitude and trekking in the mountains. From the first meters, starting from the parking lot, it climbs steeply. The middle of the course is calmer and it picks up very strongly in the last meters (where we must add the lack of breath). Some difficult passages where you have to put your hands. A fairly dizzying passage with vertical walls on one side overlooking a crevasse of the glacier 30m below. Apart from this passage, there is nothing to suffer from vertigo because the crest is quite wide. What a view at the top, but it's worth it. Departure at 2200m and arrival at 3747m, more than 1500m difference in altitude. 15km round trip. A path that disappears in several places. Especially when you arrive at the first fairly flat ridge, take the path going down slightly to the left and not straight ahead, you will understand your mistake otherwise... Bring, in addition to a good pair of shoes, a running windbreaker, sports jackets winter for running and pair of poles if possible. One last piece of advice: forget your children! Some comments mention children, it's irresponsible. This is not a green difficulty hike! And of course, check the weather before leaving if you want to enjoy a clear 360° panorama. (Original) Randonnée faite le 10/08/22. "Grâce ou à cause" de la météo 2022, l'aiguille était sans neige. Randonnée physique pour un peu sportif comme moi habitant une région plate. A faire pour clôturer ses vacances, après quelques jours d'acclimatation à l'altitude et de crapahutage dans la montagne. Dès les premiers mètres, en partant du parking, ça grimpe fort. Le milieu de parcours est plus calme et ça reprend très fort sur les derniers mètres (où il faut rajouter le manque de souffle). Quelques passages difficiles où il faut mettre les mains. Un passage assez vertigineux avec parois verticales sur un côté donnant sur une crevasse du glacier 30m plus bas. A part ce passage pas de quoi souffrir du vertige car crête assez large. En haut quelle vue, mais qui se mérite. Départ à 2200m et arrivée à 3747m soit plus de 1500m de dénivelé. 15kms aller/retour. Un sentier qui disparaît à plusieurs endroits. Surtout lorsque vous arrivez à la première crête assez plate, prendre le sentier descendant légèrement sur la gauche et non tout droit, vous comprendrez votre erreur sinon... Prévoir, en plus d'une bonne paire de chaussures, coupe vent running, vestes d'hiver pour running et paire de bâton si possible. Un dernier conseil : oubliez vos enfants! Certains commentaires mentionnent des enfants, c'est irresponsables. Ce n'est pas une randonnée de difficulté verte! Et bien sur la météo à regarder avant de partir si vous voulez profiter d'un panorama à 360° dégagé.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent hike taken on 08/11/2022 from Tignes 1800 with a breathtaking view of Tignes 2100, Italy and Lake Sassière below. The absence of snow at the summit did not require taking any special equipment. On the other hand, a good knowledge of the high mountains remains necessary in order to bring all the necessary equipment to overcome the weather and be sure to arrive at the summit. A first part of ascent from the steep dam to follow the ridge line to finish on the last 500m of steep ascent (Original) Magnifique randonnée faite le 11/08/2022 depuis Tignes 1800 avec une vue imprenable sur Tignes 2100, l’Italie et le lac de la Sassière en contre bas. L’absence de neige au sommet ne nécessitait pas d’emporter de matériel particulier. En revanche une bonne connaissance de la haute montagne reste nécessaire afin d’emporter tout l’équipement nécessaire pour pallier la météo et être sur d’arriver au sommet. Une première partie d’ascension à partir du barrage raide pour suivre la ligne de crête pour finir sur les dernier 500m d’ascension raide

What a great view

The apex gives you an amazing view of Tignes.

Good and pointy

(Translated by Google) Superb place, magnificent, I just advise you to train well before climbing there. (Original) Superbe endroit, magnifique, je vous conseille juste de vous entraîner umpeu avant d'y grimpé.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful view of Mont Pourri in summer from Eucherts la Rosière. Paradoxically, it is far from being visibly rotten. (Original) Très belle vue du mont Pourri en été à partir des Eucherts la Rosière. Paradoxalement il est loin d’être pourri à vue d’œil.

(Translated by Google) Great view! (Original) Geweldig uitzicht!

(Translated by Google) Constantly closed, for example Easter week (school holidays) with bad weather, one screening per day of old films and nothing for children. The old cinema had the merit of offering several films and screenings per day and children's programming. (Original) Sans cesse fermé, par exemple la semaine de Pâques (vacances scolaire) avec mauvais temps, une séance par jour de films anciens et rien pour les enfants. L ancien cinéma avait le mérite d offrir plusieurs films et séances par jour et une programmation enfant.

Our 6month old had a wonderful time with Izzy from ABSki. She was so warm and caring towards him. He smiled every morning when she arrived. Always on time and followed our routine perfectly. Izzy also sent us photos each day of the fun they were having. The whole service from ABSki was seamless and informative. Thank you for making our holiday possible! We will be back! Enjoy the rest of the season.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with ABSki and our wonderful nanny, Michaela. She looked after our 9 month old daughter and 9 month old nephew, with such warmth, care, and professionalism. From the moment she arrived, it was clear that she was experienced, confident, and incredibly attentive to the little ones' needs. Michaela went above and beyond to ensure the children were happy, well-cared for, and engaged throughout the day. Her patience and gentle approach made us feel completely at ease, and we could fully enjoy our time on the slopes knowing they were in the best hands. ABSki provided an exceptional service, and we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Thank you, Michaela, for making our trip so enjoyable and stress-free! We hope you are available next year!

We recently had a wonderful week skiing in Tignes over Easter, and for the first time used ABSki nannies. The booking process was seamless and all of the communications up to our week were comprehensive. We were very lucky to have Milly support us during our week in Tignes, and she interacted perfectly with our 3 children. Milly was friendly, fun and firm. She blended a great mix of home-based activities and plenty of trips out to enjoy the snow and hot chocolates, as well as supported us with ski-school pick up on two occasions. Were felt totally comfortable knowing that the children were having fun after their morning of ski school and we will most definitely book ABSki Nannies again!

Thank you very much to Jade for looking after our little boy so well! He had a brilliant time and it was really reassuring for us to know that he was so well cared for whilst we were out on the slopes. Jade was fantastic! And the communication with ABSki Childcare was excellent. Thank you so much for making a real difference to our holiday :)

I would give 6 stars if possible! We have had an amazing experience with ABSki Childcare and would recommend to anyone needing childcare support on their skiing holiday in Tignes. From all the initial enquiries and conversations through to Rosie being the nanny for our boys we could not fault the experience. A massive shout out to Rosie who was so kind and supportive and was able to take our boys (6yo and 3yo) out to do exciting activities in the resort in the afternoons, after picking them up from ski school. They cannot wait to come back and nor do we. We will definitely be using ABSki Childcare again! Thank you!

This was the second time we have used ABSki and the second time we’ve had an exceptional experience. Michaela was our nanny this time, and our 9 month old daughter (who hadn’t previously been left with a nanny or other childcare provider) took to her instantly. Michaela ensured she got plenty of fresh air, play and sleep, and we returned each afternoon to a very happy and well rested baby. We couldn’t have asked for a more flexible and professional nanny, and we’ll definitely be booking with ABSki again next time we are in Tignes!

All communication from enquiry and throughout stay, was great. Lucy was so quick with answering queries and extremely helpful. We had Jodie looking after our 4m old daughter for the week, and she was amazing. Regular updates kept us in the loop. She made sure a range of activities and outings were planned and facilitated. When the little one was not asleep. Will hopefully be back next year!

2nd part is currently damaged, but still offering great views

Nice via ferrata, not so difficult as they say.

(Translated by Google) A great via ferrata without any real technical difficulty (except perhaps the "athletic crossing" in section 2) but which on the other hand offers its share of mental difficulty, very dizzying especially section 3. I loved this via ferrata (Original) Une super via ferrata sans réelle difficulté technique (hormis peut être là "traversé athlétique" dans la section 2) mais qui par contre offre son lot de difficulté mentale, très vertigineux surtout la section 3. J'ai adoré cette via ferrata

(Translated by Google) The via ferrata is divided into three parts, the first one is more accessible but from the second one, the level increases very drastically. I don't find that it is the "medium" climbing level as advertised, the second part is rather difficult. But the fact that it is divided into 3 parts allows you to leave the via ferrata before the big difficulties. (Original) La via est séparée en trois parties, la première plus abordable mais à partir de la deuxième, le niveau monte très drastiquement. Je ne trouve pas que ce soit le niveau monte »moyen » comme annoncé, la partie 2 est plutôt dure. Mais le fait qu’elle soit séparée en 3 parties permet de sortir de la via ferrata avant les grosses difficultés.

(Translated by Google) Immediate access via the car park, rope bridge, a beam, two footbridges, one short and one long. I don't prefer to judge the difficulty or ease of the different sections because the opinion would be too subjective. It is done almost in the shade in the afternoon. (Original) Accès immédiat par le parking, pont de singe, une poutre, deux passerelles, un courte et une longue. Je ne préfère pas juger la difficulté ou la facilité des différents tronçons car l'avis serait trop subjectif. Elle se fait quasiment à l'ombre dans l'après-midi.

(Translated by Google) Far from being as difficult as what we can read, only the last part requires a little more mental strength on the lizard slab, a little sloping but you can easily secure yourself (Original) Loin d’être aussi difficile que ce que l’on peut lire, seule la dernière partie nécessite un peu plus de mental sur la dalle des lézards, un peu de devers mais on peut facilement se sécuriser

(Translated by Google) Via done twice Via ferrata of medium level, especially in the second part there are passages requiring changes of feet which can be a little technical but if you are used to it, no big difficulty. Well equipped, many bars, some rocky passages but rare. The valley is beautiful but the via overlooks the road over its entire length which is not transcendent in terms of atmosphere but there are no approach steps. (Original) Via faite 2 fois Via ferrata de niveau moyen , surtout dans la seconde partie il y a des passages nécessitant des changements de pieds qui peuvent être un peu techniques mais si vous avez l'habitude, aucune grosse difficulté. Bien équipée, nombreux barreaux, quelques passages rochers mais rares. La vallée est belle mais la via surplombe la route sur toute sa longueur ce qui n'est pas transcendant en terme d'ambiance mais bon il n'y a aucune marche d'approche.

(Translated by Google) We took a private lesson with Céline, she is a very educational person and attentive to details. She will help you discover the slopes with good humor and will be able to provide you with the keys to progress, whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced.

(Translated by Google) A true professional who adapts to our level, Céline listens to our expectations, she adapts throughout the session to our physical constraints.... A real passion that she knows how to share with us. Very professional, we recommend her and we will come back (Original) Une vrai professionnelle qui s'adapte à notre niveau, Céline est l'écoute de nos attentes, elle s'adapte tout au long de la seance à nos contraintes physiques.... Une réelle passion qu'elle sait nous partager. Très pro , nous la recommandons et nous reviendrons

(Translated by Google) Everything went well with Céline for a half-day beginner mountain bike ride. After an efficient and warm contact, the preparations at the store went very well, with kindness and relaxation 😊 Lots of advice provided throughout the routes, corrections and videos supporting the strengths/weaknesses of each mountain biker. An excellent time spent with Céline, very professional and friendly. We highly recommend 👍🏻 (Original) Tout s’est bien passé avec Céline pour une demi-journée vtt débutant. Après une prise de contact efficace et chaleureuse, les préparatifs au magasin se sont très bien déroulés dans la bienveillance et la détente 😊 Énormément de conseils prodigués tout au long des parcours, des corrections et des vidéos appuyant les forces/faiblesses de chaque VTTiste. Un excellent moment passé avec Céline, très professionnelle et sympathique. On recommande chaudement 👍🏻

(Translated by Google) The internship was great because I was able to learn a lot of new things, including improving my dissociation. I also loved the many jumps during the course. Thank you Céline 👍🏼 August (Original) Le stage était super car j’ai pu apprendre énormément de nouvelles choses notamment perfectionner ma dissociation. J’ai également adoré les nombreux sauts lors du stage. Merci Céline 👍🏼 Auguste

Thanks for Aria and see you next year on the slopes. 😉 (Original) Céline est une passionnée ! Si vous souhaitez progresser et prendre de l'assurance foncez! Très pédagogue est toujours souriante 🙂. Merci pour Aria et à l'année prochaine sur les pistes. 😉

(Translated by Google) For this second DH experience we were perfectly accompanied by Céline. Thanks to his advice and his mastery we gained confidence on the slopes. THANKS ! (Original) Pour cette deuxième expérience de DH nous avons été parfaitement accompagnés par Céline. Grâce à ses conseils et à sa maîtrise nous avons gagné en confiance sur les pistes. Merci !

(Translated by Google) A huge thank you to Tibo for his professionalism and kindness. My son was more than happy to do an introduction to downhill mountain biking, he who is passionate about cycling, and my husband to climb the summit of La Grande Motte. Experiences that will not soon be forgotten. (Original) Un énorme merci à Tibo pour son professionnalisme et sa gentillesse. Mon fils était plus qu'heureux de faire une initiation de vtt de descente, lui qui est passionné par le vélo, et mon mari de son ascension du sommet de la Grande Motte. Des expériences qui ne sont pas prêt d'oublier.

(Translated by Google) Very good contact and very warm welcome. Very accommodating. I had a health problem and canceled the course, and I was reimbursed. So special mention and 5 stars. (Original) Très bon contact et très bon accueil. Très arrangeant. J’ai eu un problème santé avec annulation du cours, et j’ai été remboursé. Donc mention spéciale et 5 stars.

(Translated by Google) Rafting, Canyonning, just great! Thank you very much Shannon for your patience and flexibility... I recommend standing on the table! 👌 (Original) Rafting, Canyonning, juste canon ! Merci beaucoup Shannon pour ta patience et ta flexibilité... je recommande debout sur la table ! 👌

India is a first class instructor/guide/coach. She is friendly and enthusiastic, and her feedback/instruction is well timed, on point, expertly delivered and easy to understand. My skiing has improved so much, 3 lessons were not enough. I can't wait to book more next year.

We booked a 3 hour lesson with TDC for 5 friends. The booking process was easy and straightforward. Rab was our instructor and he was very fun and entertaining, as well as a brilliant coach. He took the time to give individual feedback to everyone. He also led us to quieter parts of the mountain which we wouldn't have discovered otherwise. We all loved the lesson, we learnt plenty and ended the day very satisfied. I would definitely recommend a lesson with Rab and the TDC team.

Gavin at TDC was a brilliant instructor whilst skiing in Tignes! He was engaging, patient and very knowledgeable. Couldn’t have asked for a better service. Organising these lessons was also so easy with Lindo who was so friendly and dealt with all my enquiries efficiently. Would definitely use again, highly recommend!

A small but perfectly formed team of expert instructors. Harry and I have used TDC for almost 10 years now and we love their approach and personalised tuition. Every year we see further improvement in our abilities both on and off piste. We would not go anywhere else!

Just back from an awesome week skiing in Tignes. The highlight was booking a private 3 hour ski lesson with TDC for myself and 2 friends. We all had a few years of skiing under our belts, but it's mostly 'self-taught', so we finally bit the bullet and booked a lesson with the focus on carving. Our instructor India was brilliant and throughout the lesson she was able to constantly watch and offer advice tailored to each person. Getting those small but essential pointers were a massive confidence boost. We skied almost 15km in the 3 hours so it was very much practical theory too! Forget watching Youtube videos, I'd highly recommend anyone thinking of booking a private lesson to do it!

Lesson dates: 24 to 28 January 2021 (excluding 27 Jan) Instructor: India Summary: the five star reviews are definitely justified. Great company, with excellent (and highly knowledgeable) instructors. Will definitely recommend to others / book again if ever in Tignes. Review: We were a group of mixed ability, some not having skied for 15+ years, and others with some more recent (but limited) experience. The booking process was seamless with plenty of understanding re uncertainties around restrictions on UK citizens travelling to France. Payment was made via a small deposit with the remainder becoming due once we confirmed the trip was still on! As for the lessons themselves, India quickly assessed our abilities and expertly guided us through a reminder of the basics. Her style was extremely personable, but also professional and her knowledge of not just skiing technique but also the local area and best slopes to hit was really stand-out. What was really impressive was as the week progressed (and people's abilities developed at different paces), she kept the lessons relevant to all, making sure that everyone was getting the maximum out of the lessons and continuing to progress. India's lessons really were the highlight of our trip and I would not hesitate to recommend her (and TDC generally) to anyone visiting Tignes!! Thanks for an amazing week!

We booked lessons with TDC whilst in Tignes last week. He took a group of two adults and four children aged 8-11. The children found Rab entertaining, funny, communicative and engaging. He was very clear with instructions. My son said he described things in a different way and it really helped him understand about skiing powder. Thanks TDC!

Did an introduction to Splitboarding with Jay, full day touring. It was an amazing experience, Jay is excellent both in teaching you off-piste snowboarding, and guiding you through the mountains. I would 100% do it again and would recommend Jay to anyone interested in such activities!

Had an amazing group lesson with Jay at Freedom Snowboarding, it ticked all the boxes! Jay and his assistant tailored the session perfectly to our group, offering the right mix of encouragement and support to push us to the next level. Jay’s knowledge as a guide and instructor was outstanding, he carefully picked out the best slopes to help us refine our skills and build confidence. I would highly recommend Freedom Snowboarding to anyone looking for the best lessons or guided sessions in Tignes!

Had an unbelievable day doing an intro to splitboarding course with Jay. Everything was fantastic from the booking process, the help with renting gear to the lesson itself. Jay explained everything really well and was a brilliant teacher, giving me loads of easy to remember tips on how to use my splitboard. He took me on a great route and was fantastic company. Would completely recommend Freedom for anyone looking for snowboard lessons or courses in Tignes.

Great lesson! Jay was flexible with starting point and hours. We did a morning lesson and covered everything: from remembering some key basics on turning the board to freestyle tricks. Jay also showed us an amazing off piste route. Great pure snowboarding lesson.

I had a half day session with Jay in Tignes. I was looking for guidance to improve my snowboarding, and to get out of bad riding habits. I can highly recommend booking yourself into a session. Jay was really patient and clear with his instructions, he picked up straight away what I needed to work on. I can certainly say that my snowboarding has improved so much with his advice!

Amazing experience! First time on a snowboard and on Day 2 I was already managing turns and going down a long blue run. Jay is an unbelievable instructor - so patient and super friendly. Because of him, I have absolutely fallen in love with snowboarding and I can't wait to go back. Highly recommend!

Had an incredible week, can't recommend Freedom Snowboarding enough! There had not been fresh snow in tignes for a couple of weeks, but Jay took us splitboarding and still found us some powder turns! He also hugely improved my riding on piste around resort and helped me get rid of some bad habits. Thanks Jay!

The kindest and most helpful people in a lovely shop, I would 100% recommend for boots for rental and for any of your ski equipment needs. Thank you so so much for the assistance🙏

I had an amazing experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They let me demo different pairs of skis for the whole day so I could really get a feel for what I liked. The selection was fantastic. After testing skis all day they gave me an awesome price on them in adition.

The only professiinal ski service in Tignes, if you want your edges to be sharp as a katana so you can carve on ice slopes ask for Manu and he will deliver proper race tuned edges! Thank you Manu!!!

Very good service! After many years with boot problems, boot fitters, boots, insoles .... Manu was extremely professional, knowledgeable and kind, listening to my problems, analyzing my feet, posture and boots, and trying to find a solution throughout the days that would not involve either pushing for new boots or costing me an harm a leg. Thank you Manu, my feet are much better and for sure when I decide to get new boots, you will be the Shop I'll go to and refer others to.

Very knowledgeable team who helped me on buying the right ski boots. From picking the boots until the multiple adjustments done to the shell, everyone at the store was extremely helpful and friendly. Never felt so comfortable with a ski boot until now. Definitely recommend!!

Good advice from friendly staff. A friend bought some new boots and SkiOne and said the service was excellent. So I took my old ski boots for some adjustments as they were hurting me. Manu took a lot of time with me to figure out what adjustments were needed and fixed the boots over night. The new fit is perfect and the boots are very comfortable. Great work!

Refused to return a pair of pants which were damaged after first use. They Insisted on a repair which I polity declined since I had no faith in the quality of the product with them damaging so easily and quickly. They still refused. Lady at the desk was rude, dismissive and generally just didn't care about making things right when she had sold me a faulty product. Sad thing is I opted to wait until I arrived to purchase the pants I needed rather than buy them at home, support the locals and all that. Shan't make that mistake again!
