What's new this winter in Tignes

Early skiing

Tignes is open to welcome skiers and snowboarders from 29 November 2025. The agenda is packed with skiing events, a yeti race and festive evening plans.

New six-seater chair

A major upgrade is on the cards this season with the launch of a brand-new detachable six-seater chairlift at L’Aiguille Percée. Whizzing along at an impressive 6m/second and able to carry up to 2,800 skiers every hour, this modern lift will whisk you swiftly into one of the resort’s most iconic areas — the striking Aiguille Percée. This completes the lift network overhaul the lift company has been undertaking following the replacement last year of the Marais chair.

Snowboarding in the spotlight at this year's Winter Fest

Free and open to all, Winter Fest celebrates snow sports culture with snowboard film premieres, pop-up art galleries, skate demos, DJ nights from the Ed Banger label, and a vintage snowboard exhibition. A photography masterclass adds to the mix. Running alongside, the Winter Pro Test lets industry pros try the latest gear from top brands like Burton, Salomon, and Rossignol in Tignes le Lac.

MyTignes Wintercard

A new multi-activity pass, inspired by the popular summer version, will launch in December 2025. Designed to add extra variety to your stay, it offers a fantastic selection of non-skiing activities to make the most of your time in resort. Valid for seven consecutive days, there are two options:

• Young Pass (ages 8–18) - €25 - includes gaming, unlimited entry to the adventure park, trampolines, racket sports, and the cinema.
• Adult Pass (18+) - €45 - includes unlimited access to the adventure park, wellness facilities, racket sports, and the cinema.

The overnight train is back

Leaving from a train station in Paris and waking up the next morning at the foot of the mountain is the magic of the night train! With the aim of continuing to reduce scope 3 of its carbon footprint (indirect emissions), the CDA via Travelski is implementing a decarbonising solution for tourist transport to the French Alps. This Paris <> Bourg-Saint-Maurice night train has 660 couchettes and a bar-restaurant carriage. It runs from 19 December 2025 until 20 March 2026, it's approx 9.5 hour trips have sleeping compartments which can be privatised, and some are women only. Visitors to Tignes would need to make bus connections from the train station to the resort.

Redesigned parking in resort

There's a new ‘Boucle Est’ covered car park in Val Claret, with 652 spaces over three levels to replace the Grande Motte outdoor car park.

Drôle d’Endroit – new from the Bouvier Family

Opening mid-November on Avenue du Rosset in Tignes le Lac, this new brasserie from the Bouvier family serves classic French comfort food all day, from breakfast to dinner. Set in a converted garage with industrial charm and a ski-in/ski-out terrace overlooking the lake.

Winter Adventure Park

When the Adventure Park opened in Val Claret in the summer, it was a huge draw for families. Now available in a winter version, its 10m high wooden structure features two different courses and three high-flying zip lines. The Net Circuit is open to the little ones, whereas the Accro Circuit is reserved for more daring thrill seekers, with three zip lines ranging from 60m to 150m.
