Ski touring trail

Discover another approach to skiing and enjoy the mountain in a different light with our cross-country paths. Contrary to common opinions, cross-country skiing is a winter activity accessible to all. Tignes has many circuits available, from which you can gaze out at the well-preserved natural environment and enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views. You will love the peace and quiet before whooshing down the slopes.

 

 

SKIING ON A WILDER MOUNTAIN

There are 5 cross-country circuits available in the Tignes-Val d’Isère domain during the winter. Perfect for discovering the Vanoise National Park and its landscapes, set in a beautifully preserved natural environment.
 

 

A breath of fresh air on the mountain’s wild side

Come and unwind up in the mountains during a cross-country ski outing in the Tignes-Val d’Isère domain. Follow the marked tracks for a safe experience. Get your heart pumping, muscles flexing and fill your lungs with fresh mountain air. As a sport with many benefits, you can adapt your speed according to your mood and stamina. Climb uphill at your own pace, gazing out at the surrounding landscape. Make sure to take a few breaks to admire the stunning view and catch your breath. Up top, the snow will be soft and fluffy. Enjoy the quiet slopes, far from the crowded ski runs and chairlifts.

When cross-country skiing, you will be in the heart of nature and the mountains, surround by crisp white plains.
 

 

Introduction to cross-country skiing

Cross-country skiing is an increasingly popular activity, combining the sportiness of the climb with the joys of the descent. From the resort of Tignes, the 3 ski touring trails "Pala'foulée" "La Fastoche" and "Le Collu" allow you to learn to ski mountaineer at an altitude of over 2100 m. Ideal for beginners, they can be discovered alone or with a guide, to fully enjoy the great white plains of the mountain. Make your heart beat faster by climbing on marked and safe trails. The climb is indeed like a hike. Climb up the groomed piste of your choice and then descend on the downhill ski slopes of the area. A breath of fresh air in an exceptional setting with the view of the Alps and Savoie as motivation! A beautiful.

 

 

EXPLORE THE VANOISE NATIONAL PARK & NATURAL RESERVES

So close to the ski lifts ... yet so far from the hustle and bustle of the resort! Tignes – Val d’Isère offers a gigantic off-piste area of 3,200 hectares. Ready to leave your mark? A dream for outdoor adventurers… So put on your touring skis, split-board or snowshoes, and set out to discover a wild yet fragile wilderness. An experience best shared with an expert guide that is quite simply… Unforgettable!

 

 

After the effort, the comfort!

More original than a sandwich gobbled down on a ski lift, take your time and enjoy lunch away from the crowds at the Palet or Leisse refuges.
