featured in Hiking & walking routes Updated

A lengthy walk offering great views of the Parc National de la Vanoise

Starting from the top of the Telecabine de l'Aeroski at Toviere, the route first takes you south along a narrow ridge towards the top of the Fresse chairlift. Continue south towards the Col de Fresse from where you will be rewarded with great views of the Parc National de la Vanoise. Soon after the path heads west you will reach a fork. Here turn right and head back towards Tignes-le-Lac. The path continues downhill underneath the Telesiege Bollin-Fresse. When you reach the lift station keep on the right fork and remain on the uphill side of the chalets in Val Claret.

You then follow the road back along the west edge of the Lac des Tignes back to the town centre.
