Tignes Bike Park
The Tignes-Val d’Isère Bike Park is blessed with a modern lift system which means access to the far reaches of the resort is quick, and you spend more time on the bike than queuing for lifts. Ride everything from beginner downhill and cross-country trails through to technical black runs and some superb high mountain enduro tracks.
The bike park offers a high proportion of blue trails, which are as good for riders new to the sport as they are for advanced riders who’ll love hitting the smooth jumps at high speed.
