The mountain resort of Tignes is famous for attracting hundreds of thousands of skiers every ski season, coming from all over the world to ski the world class slopes and sample the local delights. But it is not just the winter activities which attract visitors, Tignes is also thriving in summer due to the wide range of activities which it can offer in the hot months, as well as its exceptional deal-breaker; summer skiing.

Tignes is one of the world’s biggest and best ski resorts, with hundreds of kilometres of ski runs suited to all ages and levels of ability, making it immensely popular for winter holidays. Ski lessons are available and ski passes are reasonably priced, as well as ski hire for those who haven’t invested in their own equipment. The ability to ski during the summer makes Tignes the only place in France, and one of the only places in Europe, where you can enjoy a multi-activity holiday such as skiing in the morning and sailing in the afternoon lower down the mountain.

Mountain biking is also a possible activity and companies in the area operate in the summer with bikes to hire, trails to follow and even guided excursions. Hiking is also a popular activity in the summer months with the ski lifts operating throughout the popular months, enabling hikers and ramblers to cover vast distances and take in the scenery whilst enjoying the summer sun.

Tignes is also famed for having a great nightlife in the ski season, and this continues through the summer months with many bars, pubs and restaurants to choose from including traditional places as well as more trendy modern chic eateries and wine bars. Cheap flights to the region are available from Fly Monarch, and the modestly priced hotels and chalets make it a great destination for those on a budget as it ensures an enjoyable holiday, perfect for the adventurous traveller with breathtaking scenery and good value for money. A great place to visit, topped off by the attraction of being able to go all year round.
