Sherpa Supermarché Tignes & Val d'Isère

The Sherpa chain of supermarkets is a ubiquitous and essential service across Tignes and Val d'Isère, with multiple locations in each village (e.g., Tignes Val Claret, Tignes Le Lac, Val d'Isère Centre). They offer a comprehensive range of groceries, fresh produce, local products, and everyday essentials, catering to self-catering chalets and apartments. These stores are particularly vital in mountain resorts where dining out for every meal can be costly. Opening hours are typically extended during the winter season (e.g., 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM), with reduced hours in the quieter inter-seasons. Prices are generally higher than in lowland supermarkets due to transport costs, but they provide convenience and accessibility.
