Tignes les Brevieres has a really unique vibe, it's an old farming village with a river running through and a church, so picturesque! A more quiet, relaxed vibe than the other villages but still a shop and a few restaurants. It's gondola linked to the other resorts so it's really easy to get to the slopes. Perfect for those that want high altitude skiing with a village vibe.
Santa Terra was absolutely excellent, the best apartments we have visited in the Alps. Your food delivery service - highly recommend, food great and delivery staff excellent.
