In the mountains

This season lift passes are free for children under 8, and there are reduced rates for 8-18 year olds. A new high speed 6-seater chair lift called the Marais has been installed on the Plateau du Marais. It replaces the old chair lift that connects the Aiguille Rouge chair lift with the Aiguille Percée. If you have an Esapce Killy lift pass you will also be able to ride the new Vallon gondola up to the Pisaillas glacier which will now take 10 passengers instead of 6. A new terrace has been built at the top of Toviere allowing you to eat and admire the 360 degree panorama. Finally Tignes is proud to announce that it will be hosting the FIS Para Alpine World Championships in 2027 acknowledging Tignes' long standing focus on disability sport.

The Palafou high speed toboggan ride that runs from the top of Palafour after the slopes have closed to skier and boarders has been renamed Expedition Cobra.

Evolution 2 is offering the Wild Nest experience where you can spend the night in a dome under the stars. A night-time snow-shoeing excursion, breakfast and a three course Savoyard dinner with wine are included. In addition are the Birthday afternoons for 4- 12 year olds. These include a snowshoe treasure hunt for younger children and a trapper challenge for older children, both ending with a reward of toasted marshmallows.

Looking at restaurants, Chez Juliane has replaced Bagus cafe in Tignes Le Lac. The owners of Escale Blanche have opened a new fine dining Italian restaurant in Le Lac called Julietta 23. It offers a four course Discover Italy menu as well as pizzas and a children's menu, and has great views of the lake. La Caleche restaurant has been replaced by Les Planches in Le Lac and offers wok dishes, fish and chips as well as fondues. Cocorico in Val Claret is no longer offering food at lunch time but opens mid afternoon for drinks and apres-ski. On the subject of apres-ski, the Terrachu Bar in Le Lac has been taken over by new owners and offers cosy seating overlooking the lake with some of the cheapest drinks prices in Le Lac!

Tacos start from 10 euros for 2 and there are 5 varieties to choose from including a vegan option.
