Hey Tignes Spirit,
Thanks for the pointer, the website looks good....very informative.
We have never been so early in the season before so don't realy know what to expect weather wise so will go prepared.

There are quite a few threads on Tignes early season on here if you do a search.
Also look at http://www.Tignes.net for the terrain and lift situation.
Temprature wise..well know knows, take everything you can. It can be boiling hot but its also been known to dump in the middle of the summer. And it can get pretty windy up there, its very exposed. |

It's heading for that time of year again so thought we would get some early riding in at Tignes on the Grand Motte Glacier. 
We are going out on the 22 oct for 3 days, never been this early and wondered if anyone had been this time of year before?
What sort of temperature is it likely to be on the glacier, how many lifts run, how much terrain is there, how busy will it be?
Any info would be much appreciated.
Looking forward to a snowy winter 
Thanks
Gyro |
