Espace Killy is the third-largest ski domain in the French Alps and a favourite with intermediate and advanced skiers. The 157 pistes are incredibly diverse with mainly blue and red slopes as well as a good selection of green and black runs too. Plus, there are great off-piste options if you want to carve your own route.

Snowboarders are not forgotten either as the domain boasts two snowparks with a selection of rails and obstacles to master.

Tignes:
Tignes comprises five individual villages and is recognised as one of the best ski resorts in Europe. Given its altitude (2,100m), Tignes has the top snow record in France – it’s always the first and last resort to open and close each year. Though it may not offer the authentic village charm of Val d’Isère, it offers convenience, great snow and more competitive prices.

One of the key attractions of Espace Killy is that it is possible to ski on the Grande Motte glacier for 10 months of the year, which means that the dream of summer skiing is a reality in Tignes. 

During the summer, many of the ski lifts remain open which makes Espace Killy great for mountain biking and hiking enthusiasts. In addition, there is a good range of summer activities for the whole family to enjoy including tennis, horseriding and fishing. Golfers should check out the 18-hole course golf course in Tignes, Golf du Lac Tignes, which is the highest course in Europe at an astonishing 2,100m above sea level.
