featured in Mountain Biking Trails Updated 28 March 2025

A number of blue trails are dotted about the Tignes bike park, on both sides of the valley, some of which link to the neighbouring Val d'Isère area.

Access via the Palafour lift

Tart à Lognan

Involves a bit of pedalling but it's worth the effort. It's a nice long trail taking you across to Val Claret.

Distance 2km and descends -300m. Start: Top of Palafour. Finish: Val Claret at the bottom of the Tichot lift.

Jump Around

Fast and flowy with lots of little jumps as the name suggests. It's a popular trail because it's so much fun and a good place to practise going a bit faster rounds berms.

Distance: 3.4km and descends -460m. Start: Top of Palafour. Finish: Bottom of Palafour.

Access from the Aeroski - Tovière lift

Heaps of jumps (hence the name) and berms plus two long tables. Follows natural features, stony in places. Distance: 1.3km and descends -595m. Start: Top of Aeroski. Finish: Val Claret.

Gunpowder

A good long singletrack trail that links up with lots of other blues. The odd hip jump, and 12 berms. The surface can get a bit loose.

Distance: 4.5km and descends -500m. Start: Top of Aeroski. Finish: Val Claret.

Sweet Sweet

A 3km long trail starting from about half way along the Borsat lift and descends -500m, joining with Gunpowder trail to take you back to Val Claret.

Tarentaise Airline

Start on Sweet Sweet and take the first right junction you come across. You'll see a left turn onto an Elite track (don't take this unless you can really ride and jump big!). Descend -500m where you'll join Kangooride back to resort.
