Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Welcome to Snowheads snowHead

Suggest you ask on the Tignes Thread where someone is sure to know the answer.

Are they in the process of replacing the cable car cabins?

Was open for the PSB, well one day from six anyway. Wind/Ice on the wire maybe. The cabin was the same as last years, no open upper deck - think that's a summer thing

Isn't it one of the last areas to open after a storm? They have other areas to prioritise. Showing as open today.

It was damaged in the storm 2 and a half weeks ago. Now fixed

The cabins are 2 years old, they take the guard rails for the open top bit off for the winter, otherwise they would fill with Snow.

In all the years we have been going to Tignes, I have only ever been up once - might give it another bash, weather permitting in a few weeks time.

@GreenDay, well worth it fantastic views and great snow

 You know it makes sense.

@GreenDay, yes well worth a walk up to the ridge on the right and a little climb over the fence for the best views in Tignes.

It’s not far and only gentle uphill but prepare to get out of breath.

Last time, a couple of years ago, there were a few old abandoned gondola cabins up there.

Didn’t know it opened during PSB this month, or I’d have been up like a shot.

Thanks all! I was disappointed to see that it was closed on days 1-4 of my Tignes holiday, posted this at the end of day 4 - then happily it was open for day 5 so we could go up for a look and the 1300m descent back to Val Claret, it was brilliant! @chocksaway, thanks for the info, very helpful Very Happy
