Forgive this if its a stupid question but someone has asked me if it's possible to ski from La Plagne (or Paradiski in general) to Tignes? I've not heard of that but they seem confused.... TIA

On piste - No
Ski touring with some element of taxi/road transfer - Yes, but I think it is more normal to go in the other direction from Tignes to La Plagne. From Champagny it is uphill to the Col Du Palet which is in Tignes ski area.

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

On pistes you can get as far as Bourg st Maurice (using the funicular down). Then you’d need to take a bus to Tignes

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

This link shows you how close the resorts are, but that they're not linked. https://openskimap.org/#11/45.5006/6.8582
I've seen some talk that years and years back there was some grand vision to connect up the resorts but the creation of the Vanoise national park meant that went from pipe dream to impossibility.

@Montan, the closest to Tignes you can ski on piste from the Paradiski area is Villaroger. That’s about 15kms by road from Tignes.

@Montan, You can ski, off piste, (almost) in the other direction from Tignes via Le Col du Palet and then down to the back of La Plagne (Champagny-en Vanoise), which requires a short taxi/minibus ride from the X/C station. Then ski through Paradiski to Villaroger as @PeakyB says. Known as the Tarantaise Tour. Does not require touring kit, although some skating is involved. Used to be cheaper when there was a reciprocal deal with the lift passes.

One summer over 20 years ago Mrmogulski and I did a trek from Tignes to Champagny, Pralognan, Entre deux eaux refuge, Val d'Isere and back to Tignes over 4 or 5 days. We walked the whole way and I remember the first day was the longest. We went via Col du Palet and thought we would never get to Champagny. The next days were easier in comparison.
Skiing it in winter would be a completely different experience as there is quite a lot of climbing and we were on snow part of the time even in mid-summer.
