Together with Val d'Isere, Tignes makes up the Espace Killy, one of the world's greatest ski areas. For many advanced and intermediate skiers, the huge variety of slopes here makes this a resort without parallel. With 300km of pisted skiing and extensive off-piste opportunities, the Espace Killy is an awesome ski area. Tignes offers spectacular scenery, an endless choice of runs for everyone - beginner to expert and an ultra-efficient lift and bus system." - Thomson Ski
