Ski apartments often involve a long dredge to the actual slopes when on ski holidays; however, at Tignes this is largely not the case. This is just one of the many benefits this somewhat overlooked area has to offer. Those looking for ski holidays will not find an area more focussed on the sport itself in the French Alps. Situated in the Espace Killy region close to Val d'Isere, both locals and visitors concentrate on the slopes rather than other attractions. It is because of this, perhaps, that Val d'Isere sees more British tourists visiting. Tignes, however, has much to offer the serious skier and beginners alike. The region has over 150 miles of pisted slopes covering a range of abilities, the bulk of which are probably deemed intermediate. The area does boast some excellent black runs, such as Sache, which starts at the top of the L'Aiguille Percée and finishes at Tignes Les Brévières. Many tutorials are available for skiers of all ages, making it a fantastic place to learn as well as play. Much of the accommodation is right next to the slopes themselves, meaning there is not far to travel at the start or close of the day. Should you want to spend a day relaxing weary muscles, there are a number of places available to you. If a gentle swim is what you are craving, Le Lagon is the perfect place to visit. It also has a range of spa facilities, so you can enjoy a range of therapeutic saunas and steam rooms as well. If you decide you would like to venture off the slopes, the ice caves are simply not to be missed. A 200 m walk has been carved out for visitors that has been decorated with spectacular ice sculptures ranging from objects to mythical creatures. Those hungry for even more exercise can pay a visit to Tignespace in Le Lac, which features a climbing wall and football courts among other popular facilities. Tignes is the perfect place for a ski holiday, especially for those who really want to focus on the sport itself - most visitors rarely leave its fantastic slopes! It also has many other attractions should your muscles need a moment to recover, making it the ideal refreshing break. Those looking for ski holidays will not find a much better location than Tignes. With the slopes just a few steps from the ski apartments, you will be able to spend all day on the snow.
