Leaving the centre of Tignes le Lac you wander through the ski fields before reaching a small alpine lake below the towering peaks above Tignes
Les Lacs du Chardonnet
A short family friendly walk to a beautiful mountain lake
Starting from the Millonex lift in Tignes le Lac the route is signposted 'Aiguille Percée - Lacs du Chardonnet'.

You can return via the same way or descend via the GR5 which can be found on the other side of the lake.
