MattSki, I bought it on here:
http://www.skipass-tignes.com/

I think they said allow 10 days for delivery outside France, and mine took about a week to come. It was most impressive because they'd sent it recorded delivery!

I suggest you have a careful look at all the different passes on offer. It can be quite bewildering! In the end I bought the Espace Killy one with the Tignes loyalty pass that costs 10 euros lasts 3 years and allows a discount every time you recharge the pass. I reckon because I'm ski-ing for 2 weeks in Tignes this year I will save 18 euros, and more if I go to Tignes again next year :)

They also have family passes, pedestrian passes, reduced ski area ones, and the one that Far Queue was asking about which gives a daily discount on lots of different resorts in the same area as Tignes.

Matt, have you seen the dump in Tignes?!!!! I go in 6 weeks and it's looking awesome.

Ooooo hope some fell in Val d'Isere to. only 9 days till i go.

can I just ask.... I thought CN is really for more adventurous off piste skiers, but is this the case? I would never stray off the edge of the piste (not intentionally anyway!) and I have only ski'd in austria but now I am reading this thread I am wondering if it is a necessary option? (I do have winter sports cover insurance already).

Ali, my eldestson isoff to Tignes in two weeks.Two questions.
Is there a cost advantage when buying online?
How much does the carre neige cost? (Can't find out without signing in)

I tend to take it when in France for all the extra cost - it just saves so much hassle you don't need if you do have a bump.

One of our group last year didn't, had a tumble and had to get taken of the mountian. She got the money back on her insurance in the end, but for the cost of all those mobile calls from France and her time when she got back trying to sort it out..... would probably have been less hassle just to spend the few Euro extra.

The good news is that it was more injured pride and a few bruises than anything else, but could have been much worse.

(she was an early intermiediate on a blue at the time, poor light and chopped up at the end of the day).
