Tignes's air quality is driven largely by valley motorway traffic and light industry, close to the Rhone, though mountain valley winds alternate with calm temperature inversions, which usually keeps pollution from accumulating for long. Winter is usually the toughest season, as cold air settles in the valleys and traps emissions for days, while summer sees better dispersion apart from occasional ozone build-up lower down.
