Tignes Le Lac
Tignes Le Lac (2100m) is the original and main village in Tignes and still acts as the main hub for the ski resort.
Situated by the lake, it provides easy access to the whole Espace Killy ski area, from the two lifts at the Palafour and from the main lift to Val d'Isere (the aero-ski) located opposite the Maison D'Tignes. The huge wooden tourist office also acts as the centrepiece for the resort, where numerous events are held throughout the year. With New Years Eve in Tignes being the main party for the area!
Le Lac's many amenities are spread over two main areas: Rue de la Poste and Le Lac Rosset. Just a few of which are: two separate ski schools, Spar supermarket, banks, a bowling alley, gym and saunas, privately owned local shops and plenty of restaurants, take-aways, two night clubs and bars.
Our personal favourites are the Jam Bar & Bagus located at the bottom of the Palafour run, the Loop at the end of Le Lac Rosset and the L'Embuscade at the top of the Rue de la Poste. Take time to have a look at the nightlife sections for our guide to all the best bars and restaurants throughout Tignes.
There are also a number of underground car parks situated near the bus station which makes staying in Le Lac very easy for those who choose to drive to the resort. We have a number of chalets and apartments throughout Le Lac that will suit every budget.
