Ski rental in Tignes

Tignes: A Lively Village

At the foot of the slopes, Tignes extends the pleasures of skiing with a wide range of restaurants, brasseries, bars and nightclubs. With its exotic setting, gastronomic discoveries including two Michelin-starred restaurants, and a breathtaking panorama, Tignes offers the highest Michelin-starred table in Europe. Whether you prefer a cozy atmosphere or festive evenings, everyone will find the perfect spot to relax.

All winter long, Tignes hosts unique events where sporting performance blends with daring creativity, such as the Winter X Games Europe, the must-see freestyle ski and snowboard event that was held in the resort for many years! In 1992, during the last Olympic Games held on French soil, the village hosted three freestyle skiing events — and it was here that Frenchman Edgar Grospiron became the first Olympic champion in mogul skiing. Needless to say, a champion of his caliber didn’t need to stop by a ski rental shop in Tignes before competing in the biggest event of his life.

The resort has welcomed the world’s greatest ski and sports champions, but every winter it remains a gateway for snow lovers of all kinds. The slopes are perfect for families as well as ski enthusiasts, and no matter your level or expectations, visiting Tignes and its resort is always a memorable experience.

Tignes never slows down — between the frenzy of ski holidays and the hosting of international events that attract renowned athletes and artists. There’s something for everyone, and all visitors can enjoy this idyllic destination while making the most of a ski rental shop in Tignes.

Tignes is made up of several villages, and if you need to rent ski equipment, you’ll find multiple Sport 2000 shops. In Tignes 1800 Les Boisses, located near the dam, our shop offers a wide choice of alpine skis, touring skis, cross-country skis, snowboards and other mountain gear. Renting your skis at Tignes Le Lac puts you at the heart of the resort with easy access to all the slopes. Finally, you can also book online and pick up your skis at Val Claret, the highest village of the Tignes domain.

A Majestic Place

At the end of the Haute-Tarentaise valley, near La Rosière and just a few kilometers from the Italian border, Tignes remains above all a typical Savoyard village. The nearby Chevril Dam, built in 1952, is closely tied to the history of the town for many reasons.

Today, Tignes is in fact composed of five main villages:

• Tignes Les Brévières (1,550 m)
• Tignes Les Boisses (1,800 m)
• Tignes Le Lavachet (2,100 m)
• Tignes Le Lac (2,100 m)
• Tignes Val Claret (2,127 m)

Every summer, Tignes welcomes numerous athletes who come to enjoy its ideal altitude training conditions and world-class sports facilities. From the French Alpine Ski Team to rugby and handball squads (before their Olympic titles), Tignes has long been a hub for elite training. Cycling fans also flock here: the Tour de France has often made a stop in the resort, thanks in part to the legendary Col de l’Iseran, towering at over 2,764 meters.

In summer, the resort’s ski lifts and gondolas are transformed to welcome hikers and downhill mountain bikers. The area evolves into one of the largest summer mountain resorts in Savoie, with countless advantages all year round!
