Not everyone comes to Tignes to ski, and when there are such beautiful panoramas to take in and mountain restaurants to enjoy, we can understand why! These high-altitude restaurants vary from the more refined gastronomic end of the scale to the self-service carb-loading cafeteria-style. Often, at the busier bars and restaurants there will be a party atmosphere with DJ’s playing out on the terraces and deckchairs from which to enjoy the sun. Here are a few to try:

• Restaurant Tovière, at the top of the Aeroski gondola from Tignes le Lac
• The Panoramic, at the top of the funicular from Val Claret
• L’Alpage, accessible via the Chaudannes chairlift or L’Aiguille Rouges chairlift
• Lo Soli, also accessible via the Chaudannes chairlift or L’Aiguille Rouges chairlift

Lift pass prices are reduced for pedestrians (piétons), and some areas are even free or include extras such as a meal at a designated restaurant. You can read more about Tignes and Espace Killy mountain restaurants, as well as typical Alpine specialities, in our Dining & Going Out guide.
