Summer ski area
The Grand Motte Funicular runs from Tignes Val Claret up to the Grand Motte glacier, it's a daily service starting at 07:15 and operating until 13:00 (weather dependent).
Summer skiing in Tignes is done on the Grand Motte glacier which sits high above Tignes and offers 20km of skiing between 3,000m and 3,456m. The slopes are open in the mornings only, in the summer the snow gets slushy very quickly, so heading up early in the morning will get you the best of the snow.
The Perce Neige funicular gets you from resort to the foot of the slopes in just seven minutes and once on the glacier there are 12 ski lifts and a snowpark at 3,456m - with a few pistes to play on. The snow park normally opens two weeks after the first lifts for the summer season.
