Lac de Tignes & Tignes-le-Lac
Lac de Tignes
An alpine lake at the heart of the Tignes resort. In summer, it is for lakeside walks, boating and mountain biking; in winter, it is a ski village hub and a spot for ice diving.
Lac de Tignes lies beside the resort village of Tignes-le-Lac at about 2,100 metres altitude, and it is the heart of Tignes. In summer, the lakeside has a beach, stand-up paddleboard and kayak rentals, a golf course, a children's play area and a lakeside trail (about 1 hour), and it serves as a base for mountain biking and trail running. The Le Lagon water centre by the lake has a pool and spa. In winter, the lake freezes over and visitors can try ice diving. From the lake area you can take a lift up to Tovière or go to the Val Claret station of the Grande Motte cable car. It is about 20 minutes' drive from Val d'Isère, and in winter free shuttles and lifts connect the two resorts.
