Guided Off-piste Skiing in Tignes
The Tarentaise Valley is renowned worldwide for its off-piste trails & Tignes offers a huge playground within it. Your guides know the valley like the backs of their hands. With them, you will discover the most beautiful slopes and experience the best snow conditions available. When the weather is good you can test the endurance of your thigh muscles descending the longest routes to be found. On “white-out” days, nothing is lost, au contraire! Your guide will show you the magnificent spruce & larch forests sheltered from the wind where the visibility is excellent and the snow falls gently down.
At Tignes, as well as off-piste ski days, there are regular and private group ski lessons for adults & children, plus ski-touring and even heliskiing in the nearby mountains & glaciers of Italy. Duration can be 2 or 3 hours, half, full or multi-day, you choose!
