 Poster: A snowHead

Quick question re. ski area pass.
As ever am on a budget and wondering whether its worth saving 29 euros and just buying a tignes pass rather than an espace killy pass.
2 of us are intermediate boarders, travelling with 2 beginners.
Both of us I think will be kept more than occupied around Tignes - spending time with our beginner friends on local blues and easy reds, and the odd blast separately on harder reds and blacks around Tignes.
If we did decide to have a jaunt to Val d'Isere one day for a change of scenery is it possible to just buy an upgrade for the day at the lift pass office? And if the answer is yes - is it less than the 29 euros saving we've made by not buying the full area pass???
thanks in advance for any advice...

From this: http://www.tignes.co.uk/WinterSeason-0809.pdf the daily upgrade rate may be €29.50, but I'm not convinced because of the layout of the form. For one day in the full Espace Killy you'll be about quits, for more than one day go for a full pass.
Tignes is a big area and I'd say big enough for first week skiers. As for boarders I don't know; Tignes does have a few flatish areas, such as between the Palafour & Merles lifts. There gain, there are flatish bits just over the hill in Val d'Isere.
It's a hard call really.

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

Tignes 6day pass = 179. Full 6 day pass = 208.50, a 29.50 difference.
So extending 1 day valD costs the same as buying a full pass from the start.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

mountain mad, we had the same dilema - I would get the whole Espace KIlly pass if I were you. Tignes is great, but Val has some lovely runs for boarders that you would be mad to miss

I have skiied there for the past 2 years and found after day 2 we had exhausted Tignes run's, especially if you just stick to red's and blacks which we did.
We needed more variety and opted for Espace Killy pass as Nadenoodlee suggested Val does have some fantastic runs. Word of warning - mate just returned from Val last week and had to pay 13 euros for 2 pints in Val, although I believe Tignes is not as bad as Val.
Tignes has some very wide long Blue runs, which can be trying in some places - so should keep the beginners happy.
