"French Alpes ski resort" Tignes by Luchonda

Ski Station Savoie

Tignes enjoys all the skiing attributes of Val d'Isere, as they combine to make up the L'Espace Killy. The 300km of marked pistes cover all abilities and provide greatly varied mountain terrain.
The skiing in Tignes is simply fast, and with several free lifts for beginners helping the excellent local ski and snowboard schools.
I have to admit, i never went there because skiing is not my favourite journey.
But my daughter, Fred, Sam and some good friends did. And i'd like to share their experience with VT members, loving skiing resorts.

Skiing isn't my thing either, but I love seeing the snow! :-)) Seems like little Sam is having a great time here :-)
