Great Start to the 2013 Winter Season!

With literally mountains of snow falling heavily throughout the entire Alps, 2013 could have hardly started out better. Despite some warmer days earlier this month, at the moment nearly every webcam is showing white-out conditions. So with the ski season in full-course it doesn't mean that our work is done. Au contraire, we are just getting started. With approximately 85% of all winter visitors still to pass through our resorts, we're still in full swing selling and installing brand campaigns across the Alps!

Making Of: Tignes Campaign
image

Ski resorts also work hard on achieving awareness among their target audience. While most take the more classical approach of displaying their amazing scenery and quality slopes, Tignes took a different approach in 2010 by focussing on young, sexy, offbeat and powerful key visuals to reflect the values of Tignes. In the following making-of you can see exactly how the designers made it happen.
