Accommodation in Tignes

Tignes is known for its self-catering apartments which range in quality and price from luxury flats with access to saunas and swimming pools to small, cheap studios. But there are also hotels and chalets, especially in Tignes les Brevieres, and even a Club Med. And a growing number of apartments are now rented out on a semi-serviced ‘ApartHotel’ basis.

Tignes Lodging Accommodation

Where to stay in Tignes?

Tignes Val Claret and Tignes le Lac collectively form Tignes 2100. They are 2km apart but an efficient free bus service runs between them, day and night. Val Claret is slightly higher and bleaker (it’s in the shadow of the Grande Motte in the middle of winter) but it has more ski-in/ski-out accommodation and quicker access to the highest slopes; whilst Tignes le Lac is generally cheaper and livelier at night. Tignes Le Lac is divided into suburbs – Le Lavachet, Les Almes, Le Rosset and Le Bec Rouge –  but it’s a fairly compact village, so it does not make too much difference where you stay within it.

Tignes 1800 incorporates the first post-war Tignes village of Tignes les Boisses which once hosted an army barracks. By the early 2000s the soldiers had left, and their quarters were soon replaced by smart new apartment complexes. A faster lift was installed and the area was re-branded Tignes 1800. There are buses connecting 1800 to Tignes le Lac, but it still feels slightly out on a limb, and it is very quiet at night.

Tignes le Brévières is even further down the mountain, but at 1550m it’s only ‘low’ by Tignes standards, and as its slopes are north-facing it’s very rare that you can not ski back to it. Although it’s modern and purpose-built like the rest of Tignes, its traditional low-rise chalet-style architecture and setting among trees below the dam makes it the most village-like and least Tignes-like of the Tignes villages. It’s also the most isolated and self-contained, with its own bars, restaurants and shops.
