Tignes Travel Guide

France

Tignes is a small French Alpine town with a population of 2,385. Its high mountain setting gives it a distinctly Alpine character, with cold, snowy winters and cooler summers than France’s lowland and coastal areas.

Travellers arriving by air can use Tignes Airport (TGF). Tignes is inland, and there are no notable beaches within 40 kilometres, so visits are centred on the mountain landscape rather than the coast.
