Rugby in the French Alps

Espace Killy (Tignes) is home to some of the best sporting facilities in Europe. The resort has hosted some famous names such as football legend, Zinedine Zidane whilst he prepared for the 1998 world cup finals with the French National team. English international flanker, James Haskell now with Stade Francais rugby team trained with his new team mates at the sports centre at Tignes. Located at 1,850m above sea level the superb natural pitch, 3rd generation artificial training pitch, impressive gym facilities and pool area has earned its reputation as an outstanding venue for high level sports teams.
