Summer Ski

Snow is not something that is usually associated with summer! However at our high altitude resort in Tignes it is possible to Ski and Board on the Glacier at 3550m for the summer.

Summer Skiing on a Glacier

Tignes is set at the foot of Europe’s highest ski-able Glacier which offers around 27km of slopes and some good ski conditions, with powder snow reported even in July! Snow conditions and slopes on a glacier are much the same as you would expect to find at "normal" ski resort heights. The slopes are well pisted and wide, long runs enable all abilities to ski or snowboard easily.

The ski lifts of Tignes open up some of Europe’s best summer skiing and boarding between the hours of 07.15 and 13.00. The Glacier closes in the afternoon leaving skiers to seek out alternative activities or relaxation in the hot sunshine. Skiers can then try biking and walking in stunning alpine scenery as the morning ski liftpass will then be valid for the afternoon.

The Conditions
Fresh snow always falls on the Glacier over the course of the summer thus keeping the snow levels nicely topped up. The mornings generally begin with hard snow which will remain in very good shape for the first few hours. Around mid to late morning, the snow is at it’s best and will begin to soften but remain in very good shape. The snow does then progressively soften but remains firm enough to use until the afternoon.

Snowboarding Summer

The Glacier also has one of the largest and most impressive terrain parks in Europe. It attracts visiting Pro’s from around the World, and there are regular festivals, instruction and music offering beginners and advanced riders a fun atmosphere

Beginners
Novice skiers and boarders can be accommodated and lessons start at £15. You will need approx 3 lessons.

Families
The ski and snowboard facilities are also very well suited to families and provide a breadth of slopes to appeal to all. Lessons and ski / board hire can be arranged.
