The resort
Tignes is not one village but several, spread across a high part of the Tarentaise in Savoie. The main resort areas cluster around the Lac de Tignes: Tignes Le Lac on its shore, Le Lavachet close by, and Val Claret at the far end of the valley below the Grande Motte. Lower down, Tignes-les-Brévières sits near the valley floor, reached by a winding road.
The original village of Tignes was flooded in 1952 when the Chevril dam was completed, creating the Lac du Chevril reservoir downstream from today's resort. The old houses lie beneath the water, and the concrete dam wall carries a large mural of Hercules painted in 1989. Tignes shares the Espace Killy ski area with Val d'Isère.
A Tignes map poster reflects a resort built mostly in the second half of the twentieth century: compact residential blocks, lift stations and roads curling around a lake. The Chevril reservoir adds a long water shape below, and the glacier terrain of the Grande Motte gives the upper edge of the map open, uninterrupted space.
The natural lake sits at the centre of the resort, with Tignes Le Lac on its shore and paths around it, frozen in winter and used for walking and water sports in summer.
The reservoir created by the Chevril dam lies below the resort along the Isère, a long, narrow body of water beside the road toward Val d'Isère.
At the head of the valley, Val Claret forms a dense cluster of buildings at the foot of the Grande Motte, the base for lifts climbing toward the glacier.

Why Tignes
Tignes is a resort of long seasons and high altitude, and for many it is where they spent a gap year, a first winter or countless holidays. A map poster of the lake and villages is a clean, personal reminder of that time.
Personalise the title, add a subtitle and edit the coordinates line to mark your apartment or a favourite run, then pick Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. It is available as a $9 download or a printed poster, framed in wood if you like.
