The Delancey British National Alpine Ski Championships will take place in Tignes, France from Sunday 22 March to Friday 3 April 2015. This follows a move from Méribel where the Championships were held for 10 years. ... 

This exciting move will see the Senior, Junior and Children's National Championships take place at the Stade Olympiques de Lognan in Val Claret, Tignes' highest village, which is accessed from the Tichot lift (or the Grattalu lift).

Dave Edwards, Chief Executive of British Ski and Snowboard said of the move: “After 10 very successful years of hosting the British National Alpine Championships in Méribel, we are really excited about our move to Tignes. We would like to thank Méribel for their support in helping make the Championships a must-attend event, but we felt the Championships were ready for a change and to give another world class resort the chance to do our Championships proud.
