In the Tarentaise, Tignes shares the Espace Killy with neighbouring Val d'Isère. This area is justly known as the "most beautiful skiing area in the world". The area marked off with banners and the off-piste areas are immense and of a rare quality. The cosmopolitan clientele (50% foreigners) ski all 4 seasons. The equipment, including the snowpark (2.5 km long), is on par with the area. But Tignes remains on a human scale. There are five free ski lifts for beginners. There is a special rate and a ski lift reserved for the half pipe. No matter where they are staying, all skiers can ski from the front door to all of the ski runs. However, although a real-estate refurbishing program was begun in 1996, the resort still lacks charm.
