            Where is It?

            Tignes is at the far end of the beautiful Tarantaise Valley in the French Alps. As part of the protected Vanoise National Park, it teems with wildlife, rugged alpine scenery and mountain trails galore: It’s basically heaven for the sporty alpinist and active family.

            • Self drives: 8-9 hours drive from Calais
            • Fly to Geneva (Gatwick, Luton, Edinburgh, Bristol, Liverpool)
            • Flight time: 1 hr 20m; Transfer 2 hr 50m

            The Activities

            Tignes is a bit of a gem! Sporty types will love the sheer amount of activities on offer: from Whitewater rafting… to tennis… to mountain biking… and summer skiing on Europe’s highest glacier which is open in summer with 25kms of piste.

            Tignes’ large lake is an impressive centre-point to the resort and great for water sports and lake activities, with cafes and kids activities along its shoreline. Try everything from paddle boarding to human-size water balls and even fly fishing (with an instructor)

            Most of the best activities are included for free with our Active Packs which will keep you busy enough, but if you’ve got any spare time - the area is also renowned for its rock climbing, its horse riding, road biking and glacier walking to name a few.

            Mountain & Road Biking

            Tignes is basically heaven for the biker in you. There’s a whole heap of terrain to explore - from cross country to freeride/downhill and bike parks; with trails for beginner riders and families, too. We even give you a free bikers’ lift pass to explore its world class tracks and trails which stretch over into neighbouring Val D’Isere. The area is plenty big enough to keep you busy all week with over 300 Km of trails and is renowned for its long descents, crowd-free trails and stunning terrain.

            Expect some fantastic beginner and family rides around the lake and valley floor and a few trail rides using the lifts. If biking is important to you, why not rent a full suspension bike for a day or so. Our Active reps can help you do this in resort, but prebooking is recommended.
