Tignes has adopted mountain biking as one of its major alpine activities and is providing a level of facilities and bike trails which are very comparable, if not better than some of the better known and longer established biking destinations in France. Regular Bike Festivals attract visiting Pro's and bike exhibitors with a chance to test-ride bikes on Tignes' excellent trails.

Tignes also has many non biking activities on offer and is the obvious choice for a more rounded activity holiday where it is possible to ski or snowboard in the mornings (even in summer) and also try other activities not offered anywhere else in France to the same degree: 4x4 driving, Quad bike adventures and expeditions, windsurfing, white water rafting, Kayaking, Golf, Horse riding, Climbing, amazing walking - to name but a few.

Cross Country riders and Downhill enthusiasts are very well catered for with Enduro routes and man-made bike parks, as well as DH tracks for all levels of rider. Tignes offers Easy-riding routes for beginners and a vast network of trails to suit all tastes. The ski lifts allow bikers to cover many miles of terrain, including 10 full DH courses and a multitude of trails for Freeriding heaven!

Tignes is also perfectly positioned for bikers who would like to visit the neighbouring resort Les Arcs during their stay which has legendary single track and some Avalanche Cup Downhill, thus furnishing bikers with the ultimate in variety for choice during their holiday. The ride down from the high altitude of Tignes to the Les Arcs funicular below is approx 30 miles of pure XC and natural Downhill thrills. We simply position the vehicles to run you back up to Tignes after a day hitting the trails and ski lift systems of Les Arcs.

Accommodation Details

The Chalet:
The much improved, popular Chalet Lavachey has just undergone a recent cosmetic refurbishment to provide a bright and fresh lounge and dining room with new furnishings and décor. This is the perfect chalet for skiers and boarders wanting to really feel in the thick of the action with direct access to some of the best skiing in the Alps. The chalet has ski to door benefits and is very close to the best bars, cafes and restaurants in town!

This chalet enjoys an absolutely fantastic location, slope-side in Tignes le Lac which is the main hub of the premium resort of Tignes. The children’s ski area is just 2-3 mins walk away and the famous Aeroski gondola and nursery slopes are merely 100 metres or so from the chalet. As an alternative you can take the Pallafour chair, (150 metres or so from the chalet), to the excellent Aiguille Percée ski area.
