Les Brévières
Les Brevieres can be considered as the quaint picture postcard village of Tignes.
Most skiers are familiar with the better known areas of le Lac and Val Caret, due to their functionality and specifically developed infrastructure.
However many feel there's a hidden treasure in Tignes, the small picturesque village of Tignes Les Brévières.
Still set high up the mountain, Les Brévières (at 1550m) is the oldest and prettiest of the five villages in Tignes. It's a traditional authentic Savoyarde village dating back to the 13th century. While you are walking around the village you will come across traditional stone farmhouses and narrow streets.
Les Brévières is itself fully functional and accommodating for all your skiing needs, offering a full range of skiing facilities, shops and bars, but unlike most ski resorts, is unspoilt by large-scale modern development and still retains its original village character and charm.
The Sache bubble lift has been replaced by an 8-seater cable car opening for the 2018/19 season taking you quickly to above Les Boisses. And while the runs down to the village are shaded by trees it's perfect for white-out days. The village is often popular with families looking for an easy going break away from the hustle and bustle of the busier resorts.
