Comprising of five villages, Tignes was originally located further down the slopes of the Isere valley - below the neighbouring resort of Val d'Isere - but was relocated in 1952 to make way for a huge dam. Standing at a height of over 180 metres, this captivating feat of architecture also boasts a gigantic portrait of Hercules - said to be one of the largest in world. Despite this development the area has still held on to its cultural and traditional appeal, with many of the traditional buildings adding to the idyllic ambience and complimenting the inspiring countryside. In addition to the resort's popularity for winter sports holidays, the area offers a wonderfully diverse selection of activities including paragliding, helicopter flights, skiing on the Grande Motte glacier, ice carting, nature trails, and, for the truly adventurous, the chilly prospect of ice diving.
It is easy to see why the resort is so popular and given the range of quality holiday rental accommodation in Tignes, there is something to suit all budgets. The resort is ideal for anyone wishing for a more relaxed atmosphere for their holiday in the French Alps, although that doesn't mean there won't be plenty of opportunities for fun and excitement.
