Welcome to Tignes

Tignes lies in southeastern France within the Savoie department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, where the high basin of the Isère, the cliffs of the Aiguille Percée and the broad corridor of the Dam Valley shape the tone of a serene holiday in Tignes; beneath the resort stretch glacial moraines, folded schist layers and alpine sediments carved by millennia of snow and meltwater; meadow terraces, avalanche paths and traces of early pastoral hamlets alternate along the surrounding slopes; travellers choosing a B&B in Tignes often begin near Tignes le Lac, where lakeside views lead toward the Grande Motte; the D902 links the village with Val d’Isère and the Col de l’Iseran; staying in a villa in Tignes brings visitors close to viewpoints overlooking high glaciers, rocky ridges and the upper valleys of the Vanoise; the surroundings invite alpine hikes, cycling ascents and gentle walks along the shores of the artificial lake; anyone seeking a holiday home in Tignes discovers a landscape where geology, snow culture and centuries of mountain craftsmanship merge into a coherent whole.
