Col de la Tourne
A sustained climb up the ski runs to the Col de la Tourne
Uninterrupted views of the surrounding area.
Leaving the centre of Tignes le Lac head uphill along side the Millonex draglift towards the 4x4 track. Follow the track to the south west where a small path leads off it taking you north west alongside the Chardonnet chairlift and past the Croix de Palafour. The trail is marked for Col de la Tourne, Aiguille Percée.
After you pass the top of the Chardonnet lift you continue north west along a series of large 4x4 tracks and smaller paths heading between two small lakes.
From here the path gets smaller and steeper as it climbs to the Col de la Tourne at 2,656m. From here you will have great views over Tignes le Lac and the surrounding mountains; Rochers Rouges to the north and Pointe du Chardonnet to the south.
