Espace Killy (Val d'Isère–Tignes)
Espace Killy
A world-class high-altitude ski area linking Val d'Isère and Tignes, with about 300 km of pistes at 1,550 to 3,456 metres, a long season and reliable snow.
Espace Killy is made up of the Val d'Isère and Tignes ski resorts. Named after French skiing legend Jean-Claude Killy, it has about 150 pistes covering roughly 300 km and nearly 80 lifts. Its highest point is the Grande Motte glacier at 3,456 metres. The Val d'Isère side has three main areas: Bellevarde, Solaise and Le Fornet/Pissaillas glacier. The Tignes side includes Tovière, Grande Motte and Les Brévières, among others. Red and black runs and off-piste terrain are especially famous, and there is also a free beginner area. A regional lift pass (about €350 to 400 for six days) works across both resorts, and lifts generally run from about 8:45 to 16:45. Note: weather changes quickly at altitude, and fog reduces visibility. Off-piste skiing requires a guide and avalanche equipment.
