We had a lovely holiday, the prices in the bars were too expensive and there weren't enough slopes for beginners! We really enjoyed being in the mountains and the staff at Tignes were lovely.

We would have preferred to have know before hand that we needed a credit card to hire our ski's as we did not know until we got there.
