Tignes has probably the best all-round skiing on offer in Europe
and is part of the Espace Killy, so named in honour the highly
successful triple Olympic winner Jean Claude Killy. Being one of
the highest European resorts it is guaranteed good snowfall and together with a
huge investment in snow cannons for the lower runs should mean enjoyable skiing
at both ends of the season.
Tignes has a good range of varied slopes so that skiers of all abilities are very well catered for. So one thing is for sure there should be no complaints about the skiing!
The Espace Killy will open on 1st December 2007: the Glacier will have
reopened on 29th September for those early skiers training for the season.
