Enduro MTB trails

Trails are graded from the easier 'Improver' to 'Advanced' and 'Expert' depending on the technical nature of the trails or how much climbing uphill is involved.

Improver trails

Two trails can be found on the Palafour side of Tignes bike park - Cow Lanta and Trailspotting.

Cow Lantra

Starts not far from the bottom of the Palafour lift and turns into a loop with views of the lake and back again. 6km, +350m, -350m.

Trailspotting

An 8km loop around the top of the Palafour lift and passes the Lacs du Chardonnet. +350m, -350m.

Wonderboisses

Starts in the centre of Tignes and takes you all the way down to Les Brévières (great at the end of the day if you're camping down there). It has amazing views over the dam and the lake. 4km long, +75m, -530m.

Flower Power

On the Val d'Isère side is a short link coming off the Borsat Attak DH trail covering just 1.5km and -160m with no uphill.

Advanced trails

A 2.5km long trail starting from part way down Smoothie green DH track. It traverses the mountain and joins up with Rocky Trail at the end (below). +75m, -300m.

Ice Tignes

A ridge line trail running from the top of the Toviére lift across towards Borsat. It's 10km long, +150m, -730m and joins up with Sweet Sweet blue DH track at the end or Val Bleue if you want to head back into Val d'Isère.

Into the Wild

On the Val d'Isère side, it starts from part way down Val Bleue DH trail and then traverses right into the head of the Manchet Valley. The descent into the valley is pretty spectacular and the trail ends at the bottom of the Olympique lift. Surprisingly for a trail of 8km long there is no climbing, just -840m of sweet descent.
