Tignes and handisport

Over the years, the resort of Tignes has become a key venue for the French Handisport Federation’s snow sports activities. The organisation of the site and the accessibility of the ski lifts enable us to put in place all the forms of sessions that we organise for our disabled sportsmen and women. These range from introductory sessions for newcomers, training for the French Handisport teams and the organisation of top-level competitions. What’s more, the complementary nature of the off-snow sports facilities at Tignespace and Le Lagon fully meet our needs. Tignes has been associated with disabled skiing since 1992, and remains a benchmark for our activities.

I often come to the resort of Tignes, whether for my sporting activities (Handisport downhill skiing) or simply to enjoy the site, and I particularly appreciate the ease of access to the slopes for people with reduced mobility, and the proximity of reserved parking areas as close to the snow front as at Val Claret. I invite anyone who hasn’t been here before to come and discover this very welcoming and sporty resort in both winter and summer.
