"Station de Tignes" from Lac du Chevril

Highlight (Segment) • Other

18.0 km

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.

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.

Tignes

Highlight • Settlement

Challenging climbing up to Tignes. Beautiful spot for a break by the lake. It's a dead end at the top of the road but is a fun descent back to the dam

Stunning view of Lac du Chevril

Highlight • Other

The road to Tignes is a dead end, but it is still worth the drive up for a little photo stop. At the top of Tignes there is a well-stocked supermarket
