For a summer getaway in Tignes

Tignes: summer in altitude & adventure mode

In Tignes, summer stays true to the same DNA as winter: dynamic, alive, and full of energy. Set at around 2,100 m, the resort unfolds a high-mountain playground where flower-filled trails seamlessly lead into glacial panoramas.

Above it all, the Grande Motte (3,656 m) dominates the scene. In summer, it becomes a unique spot: glacier skiing at sunrise, the Perce-Neige funicular lifting you above 3,000 m, crisp temperatures, and endless views over the peaks of the Vanoise and Mont Blanc ranges. A rare, almost surreal contrast.

Down below, the Tignes Lake is the beating heart of the resort: canoeing, paddleboarding, water activities, and a water jump park… its clear turquoise waters give summer a “seaside in the mountains” feel. Add to that a massive bike park, hikes for all levels, family-friendly areas, and a stylish mountain golf course, and Tignes delivers a full, joyful, and sporty summer experience.

And even with all this intensity, the atmosphere remains simple and authentic. Sunlit terraces, evening strolls, and the refreshing mountain air complete the picture. Tignes is a summer that truly moves… while keeping the essence of real mountain charm.
