SNOW CONDITIONS IN TIGNES
With the Grande Motte glacier, Tignes has guaranteed snow throughout the winter and is even open for the majority of the summer as well – a great option for those who are missing the snow during the summer months! At high altitude, it also means that the slopes down to the various villages maintain a good snow cover throughout the season – and if by any chance that slopes are lacking a bit of snow - then Tignes operates around 350 snowguns throughout the Tignes ski area.
As well as snowmaking, the pistes are also extremely well maintained, with around 60% of the skiable area groomed daily resulting in consistently good skiing. Whilst it does have a vast number of pisted slopes, the Espace Killy is also home to a number of ‘naturides’ as well - this means that whilst being marked as a piste, it is not actually groomed throughout the season. The ideal spot to head for if you want to brush up on your mogul skiing.
With around 600cm+ of snow in Tignes each season, it's no surprise that Tignes is one of the most snow-sure ski resorts in France. This, in part, is what makes Tignes a superb resort to visit throughout the season.
