Preparations are well underway for another exciting ski season in Tignes. Finishing touches are being put into place for a new hotel-residence opening, a new chair lift, a funky new mountain restaurant, and of course the final plans for the opening weekend on 23rd November 2024. So how is all this stacking up numbers wise?
€30

The joy of the new season continues; from 25 - 29 November skiers can secure the €39 day pass and from Saturday 30 November Tignes and neighbouring Val d'Isère will both be open for the season with opening offers for daily lift passes at €61 until 20 December.

6 & 20
Gearing up for its first season is the new 6-seater chair lift 'Le Marais'. The quieter, faster and more energy-efficient lift will be transporting 2,020 skiers and boarders to the summit of Aiguille Percée in the Tignes sector. It will be joining the already 20 chairlifts operating in the ski area and live up to Tignes' motto of no waiting lines: 100% ski – 0% stress.

How high you have to go to visit 'Le Palet'. The latest offspring from the Bouvier family and the sister to the Panoramic restaurant. Accessible via the Tichot ski lift, the slope-side new cool canteen will be the lively place to stop for a drink and some tasty food. In the afternoon live music will be entertaining the crowds and the perfect fun stop in between skiing and snowboarding.
