Lake Tignes

Highlight • Lake

It is a superb natural lake. Its waters descend directly from the Grande Motte glacier. In winter, the lake freezes and a footpath linking Tignes le Lac to Tignes Val Claret crosses it.

Lac de Tignes

Highlight • Lake

The natural lake of Tignes, whose waters descend directly from the Grande Motte glacier, is a beautiful place to visit. Many activities can be done: water jumping, paddle surfing, canoeing, kayaking, fishing... The Tignes nautical base is a true paradise for thrill seekers and lovers of the great classics. "The place to be" for all fans of the "beach in the mountains" atmosphere.
