Tignes Hosts Massive Slope Side Party on New Year

New Year was celebrated in style in Tignes, where tens of thousands of revellers saw in 2009 at a massive party on the piste. The 20,000 strong crowd enjoyed a free open air concert, headlined by world renowned DJ David Guetta, on a makeshift 5000m² dance floor in Tignes Le Lac. Those who braved the sub-zero temperatures and steady snowfall until midnight were also treated to a spectacular fifteen minute firework display. As the below video shows, spirits were exceptionally high despite the weather, proving that Tignes is THE alpine venue at New Year.

Those who made it up the mountain the following day must have been patting them selves on the back for their self restraint the night before and those that didn’t regretting their excesses as New Year’s day dawned with blue skies and fresh tracks.
