Tignes,

The
beginner's nursery area will not intimidate and there
are a few easier blues to progress to. Intermediates
have plenty to explore and will love the flattering
quality of the snow, advanced and experts cannot fail to
be impressed.
On the town
VT is fun. There are a number of lively British
run bars and some interesting Dutch and Danish
ones too! All are friendly and entertaining with
the occasional live band night. There are
restaurants to suit all tastes from olde worlde
traditional Savoyard to tasty pizzerias. The town
is fairly spaced out but cleverly linked by a
network of malls and lifts with a good variety of
shops. The resort has been designed so that most
of the accommodation begins and ends very close to
the piste. An efficient shuttle bus service also
links the main areas. The sports and leisure
centre offers many activities including a
good-sized pool with sun beds, table tennis and
snooker. |
