Tignes / Advanced
It's advanced skiers and boarders who benefit most from what Tignes has to offer. At first glance there seems only to be a handful of black runs, but it's an abundance of off-piste skiing, including some excellent lift-accessible off piste itineraries, that really makes Tignes so popular with good skiers.At the top of Lanches chair traverse around an untouched bowl (a favourite of guides) and end up at the foot of two runs, nicknamed ‘Telegraph’ and ‘Telephone’. If timed right, from mid morning to early afternoon, both offer virgin powder snow, first-rate fall lines and rock jumps aplenty. Alternatively a ten minutes' or so walk from the bottom of the glacier button lift, Rosolin, brings you to the edge of one of the best runs in Tignes. Ski through a magnificent powder bowl and you will get to the top of three couloirs, simply nicknamed one, two and three. From here you decide which one you want to tackle and then ski down to Les Lanches chairlift.
The one thing Tignes really lacks is some decent tree runs. Because of its high altitude trees don’t feature, but on the plus side this means all of the slopes are incredibly open and on a clear day it's easy to pick out the best runs and jumps.
