From June to September each year Tignes opens up its biking trails, from green beginners trails up to black (expert) and double black (elite) tracks.

There are a number of trails, which are all graded and well signposted, plus enduro trails and cross-country trails.

The Palafour lift

Access to a couple of green and blue trails and a few XC routes. This side of the valley is more grassy meadows with more gently rolling descents and a few sections of north shore and the odd wall ride. 

The Aeroski lift

Gets you up to the top of the Tovière peak where you'll find more loose shale, and rockier, steeper descents on red and black trails. Over the back of the Tovière area, a couple of really long blue runs (Gunpowder and Funky Tufs) which bring you back down to Val Claret, and an enduro loop called Ice Tignes.

Val d'Isère

You can also link up to neighbouring Val d'Isère to make even more of the vast number of trails on offer (over 150km of them), and the great thing is it's all FREE.

Look out for the blue trail called Sweet Sweet going from Val d'Isère to Tignes, or the Borsat Attack trail from the top of the Aeroski if going from Tignes to Val d'Isère.

Take a look at the different grade of trails available in both areas of the bike park in the sections below.
