Tignes, France

The group of towns on the Tignes side of Espace Killy is a very good built-for-skiing resort. The series of modern villages string from 5,000 to 6,900 feet with the main village, Tignes le Lac at 6,825 feet. Les Brevieres, Lavachet, Les Boisses and Val Claret are the four other villages at the base of one of Europe’s largest Glaciers, La Grande Motte. The villages, which are really clusters of apartment buildings with shop arcades and restaurants on the first floors, were built in the 1950s after the old town of Tignes was flooded by the construction of the Chevril dam. With door-to-slopes skiing in mind, the layout of the buildings and lift-systems gives skiers 24 different lifts that leave from within the five towns.
