Tignes le Lac - Tignes 1800

A medium length walk from Tignes le Lac to Tignes 1800

featured in Hiking & walking routes Updated

Taking just over an hour, this walk follows the path above the connecting river between Lac de Tignes and Lac du Chevril

Starting near the Hotel Montana the route heads north along the path signposted for Tignes les Boisses. The path initially follows the curve of the mountain passing under the Telesiege de Chaudanne.

Staying above the road the path eventually leads you into the forest above Lac du Chevril. Once through the forest you will see Tignes 1800. From here follow the signposts to the tourist office, where you can catch a bus back to the start in Tiges-le-Lac or return via the same way to the starting point.

Worth knowing

This area is home to herds of sheep, so dogs must be kept on a leash at all times. Take care when crossing the road and be aware of cyclists using the trails.

What to bring

The route can found on IGN map 3633ET Tignes/ Val d'Isere and in the 'Les Sentiers de L'Ete' booklet available from the Maison de Tignes tourist office.
