Tignes
Snow sure, true boarders' moonscape Great all-round resort with something for everyone, no matter what your ability. However, watch out some for long lift queues and crowds during school holidays and weekends.
ON THE SLOPES Fantastic
OFF THE SLOPES Very good
MONEY WISE This is an expensive resort in all aspects but not as bad as some of the unfriendly French resorts. Well worth the cash.
