April
- Tignes at it's Best
One
of Tignes best kept secrets is simply going there in April. There are
many advantages with few drawbacks. Traditionally after Easter most
people in the
UK
assume the season is as good as over & that the snow won’t be very
good – neither of which are further from the truth. If you look at the
below table you can see over the past three seasons April has the
highest average on the upper slopes & the lower slopes are
comparable to that in February. (averages taken over 3
years - from the web site www.weather.co.uk
)
Flight prices
are another very big advantage
. Prices from most airports/airlines are a lot cheaper than for the rest of the
year. It is highly advisable to book flights as soon as you can as they
will increase sharply as the date approaches.

The Weather can generally be a lot warmer; you are highly
likely to come home golden brown or bright red if you forget that
sun cream. This has the advantage of lots of beautiful days and lots
of lovely long hours of 'apres ski' sat in the sun. However it does mean
lower south facing slopes can get slushy by late afternoon, so plan
your day to get higher later and you’ll be fine. The slopes in
general are a lot quieter.
Accommodation is also far cheaper and you can get a lot more
for your money. We can offer you Catered
accommodation from £164 or there is
Self Catering from £250 for a 4 person studio apartment. |

All
in all you can get a great holiday in April without compromising snow conditions,
think ahead and get your flights booked in advance to ensure you don't
miss out the best deals.
