What's new in Tignes for this season 2022/23?
Updated: Dec 8, 2022
Accommodation
This season we will be working with Chalet Hotel Yeti, a new eco-friendly residence located in Tignes Le Lac. The accommodation there consists of 14 apartments that sleep from 2 to 20 people, all with fully equipped kitchens and large windows which make the most of the mountain views. Village Montana has been taken over by Etincelles who run Hotel Campanules, Levanna and VoulezVous in Tignes Le Lac. We will continue to work with them as before. A new South American style residence called Ynycio will be opening in Val Claret on 3 December. Offering apartments that sleep from 2-8 people, the colourful interiors are inspired by the haciendas of Argentina. The residence has a bar, restaurant, swimming pool, and relaxation and wellness centre.

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 Aiguille Rouge has been installed on the Plateau du Marais. It replaces the old chair lift that connects with the bubble up from Les Boisses, and will whisk skiers and boarders up to a viewing platform on the summit which is at 2415m.
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.
Evolution 2 is also offering 4 days of activities from 2-5pm for kids between 5 and 12 on its new Mountain Yeti programme. Activities include igloo building, trapper workshops in a Mongolian yurt camp and orienteering.
In resort
Brasero restaurant and bar in Lavachet has been extended out towards the road providing some much needed space, particularly when live bands are playing. A new restaurant will be opening in Ynycio residences called Bazurto, where the Columbian chef will be offering Latin American cuisine.
A private company called Indiguo has taken over the parking in Tignes. If you require parking, you can book a space in one of the car parks in Lavachet, Le Lac or Val Claret. This can be done directly online by visiting https://en.tignes.net/holidays/car-parks Please note that parking in Brevieres is no longer free of charge.
