As winter begins to take hold in Tignes we take a look at all that's new.

Early signs of snowfall here in the Alps are creating much excitement for the upcoming winter season. The ski industry is raring to go and this winter looks like being an exceptionally busy one. 

Winter tyres

A reminder that from 1 November to 31 March you'll need to have winter tyres on your vehicle (M&S marking, or all weather (four season) tyres), OR at least snow chains or socks in the vehicle when driving in the mountain regions in France, following a law introduced in November 2021.
