We needed four weeks parking so I booked three weeks and then booked a separate one week - Eur350+Eur117. I had to wait overnight from registering my card as the payment wouldn't go through, but it worked fine the following day. It was much easier when Tignes did it themselves, but it seems to have worked ok.

@chocksaway - just got the Proprietor Scheme email through. Can’t see what the discount is on the pass and the parking. Do you know what the discounts would be for 10 weeks occupancy (no letting)? Their email keeps the actual discounts schtum…

@Grinning, Yeah, its on the website but for 0-5 weeks owner occupancy its €800 for a season ski .pass and its about €200 off the parking depending on whether you give up a peak rate week. If you choose the next level then you get 40% off 10 Lagon passes.

Early opening of the glacier has gone well then, closed due to strong winds.

What’s the Newcastle to Amsterdam ferry like? We usually take the Hull to Rotterdam and love it. But Newcastle is closer for us to get to… so am curious to know what it is like.

It's a very similar set up. I think last check in might be a little later on DFDS though, something like 45 minutes but double check! Food is ok, maybe less evening entertainment. Similar standard of budget rooms.

Ok, thank you, we’ll probs stick with the Hull one, I like the entertainment esp the live music in the sky bar, never had a bad meal in the restaurant (we always give the buffet an extremely wide swerve).

It is still called Espace Killy by most people. Keep calling it that & that is what it'll be known as. You CAN fight City Hall!

Completely by chance, also saw that last night, thanks @Kenzie! A nice little video. Let's hope conditions keep improving...
In parking news: @chocksaway, has alerted me once again to more changes: the Blondin open-air car park just above the heliport in Tignes 1800 remains free but reserved for folk living / working in Tignes for the season. Corresponding updates done to Page 1. I have to confess, I am struggling to keep up with it all, especially as I'm not actually there yet. My own application seems to be stuck in limbo (chased today). And overall I get the impression that the new parking management company are rather at sixes and sevens with it all.

The above video suggests nothing will be opening in Tignes until weekend 3/4 Dec. I cannot find support for that on the normal Tignes sites. Even on STGM. Can someone confirm?
I am out on Saturday 26th. I know not much will be open but????? Surely a few lifts will be running.

@Canuck, If you mean for The London, then it's an e mail to the local police with proof that you are a resident of Tignes and have a work contract.
@Mark1863, I can't remember where I saw it but it said more slopes would open if conditions allowed

Tignes opened the glacier on Saturday. Val D'Isere has put its opening back a week to 3 Dec, so the links won't be open 'til then.
