Espace Killy

Espace Killy is the lift-linked ski area shared by Tignes and Val d'Isère in the French Tarentaise. Around 300 km of pistes connect a base of 1,550 m to the Grande Motte glacier at 3,456 m, with summer skiing on the glacier and lift-served vertical rivalled in Europe only by Les 3 Vallées and Paradiski. The terrain leans intermediate-to-advanced; the area's reputation is built on long, high-altitude descents and reliable late-season snow.
