Chalet Tignes

Last look up from my balcony. Shame, the Grande Motte is covered by some stubborn clouds, spoiling my last impressions of this year’s ski season. I always like to leave Tignes with a last look up the sunny peak of the Grande Motte. In my opinion one of the best features of my ski apartment. I hang on, hoping the clouds will break.

‘Double M’ is still the most popular run for the last few skiers visiting Tignes before the winter season finally comes to a close this Monday. ‘Double M’ is a nice challenging red and it forms part of the Tignes signature run all the way from the Grand Motte (3456m) down to Tignes Val Claret (2100m). A 1400m vertical drop with miles of skiing and stunning views down the valley and across the nearby mountain ranges.

I am still hanging on, the clouds won’t lift. Shame, but it has been a brilliant ski season. I close the door to my balcony for the final time and draw the curtains.

Just as I leave Tignes, the sun comes out. I should have hung on a little longer, but all good things have to come to an end. there is always next year.
