 Poster: A snowHead
|
Some friends and I are looking at booking a trip to Tignes for March. There's quite a good deal to some new apartments in the Les Boisses village at 1800 metres. From what I can gather this used to be a very quiet, small village, but it sounds like in 2013/14 it's been developed and has a bit more going on.
Can anyone who has stayed in the last couple of years report on what the village is like, if much has changed? We're not looking for nightlclubs or a busy town, but a few bars and shops would be good! Thanks.

@ejayAD, To be honest its still in development - only about half of the new project is built and therefore a lot of the commercial premises are as yet undeveloped. So there are a couple of hotel bars a ski shop and a little supermarket. There is a regular bus service up to Le Lac - last bus back at midnight. Taxis can get rare at that time of night but in extremis (and reasonable weather) the walk is doable but not recommended. If you fancy eating out then you are going to be coming up to Le Lac. But if the price is right the skiing is good down to there.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@ejayAD, Stayed in a chalet hotel in Les Boisses last year, good and easy access to the pistes but not much by way of entertainment in the village, especially if self-catering. Bus trip to Le Lac is free and easy but not particularly late running. Later in the week we chanced upon Les Brevieres, the village just below. Seemed more of an atmosphere, bars and restaurants, and more traditional. If I went again, I would spend evenings (or stay) in Les Brevieres. Think you can get a taxi there from Les Boisses.

Thanks guys, it's hard from the websites etc to get a good feel for the place, so it's really useful to hear from people who have been there!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.
