Here you'll find all kinds of routes, from picturesque valley and wooded rides to more exposed ridge lines and descents to the valley floor.

Trails are graded from the easier 'Improver' to 'Advanced' and 'Expert' depending on the technical nature of the trails or how much climbing uphill is involved.

Improver trails

Flower Power

On the Val d'Isère side is a short link coming off the Borsat Attak DH trail covering just 1.5km and -160m with no uphill.

Cow Lantra

On the Palafour side of the Tignes bike park, it starts not far from the bottom of the Palafour lift and turns into a loop with views of the lake and back again. 6km, +350m, -350m.

Trailspotting

Also on the Palafour side of the Tignes bike park, is an 8km loop around the top of the Palafour lift and passes the Lacs du Chardonnet. +350m, -350m.

Wonderboisses

Advanced trails

Into the Wild

On the Val d'Isère side, it starts from part way down Val Bleue DH trail and then traverses right into the head of the Manchet Valley. The descent into the valley is pretty spectacular and the trail ends at the bottom of the Olympique lift. Surprisingly for a route that is 8km long there is no climbing, just -840m of sweet descent.

Palaf

A 2.5km long trail starting from part way down Smoothie green DH track. It traverses the mountain and joins up with Rocky Trail at the end (below). +75m, -300m.

Rocky Trail

A 7km long trail starting from the top of the Palafour lift, heading over in the direction of Brévières. It joins with Wonderboisses trail at the bottom overlooking the dam. +150m, -880m.

Ice Tignes

A ridge line trail running from the top of the Tovière lift across towards Borsat. It's 10km long, +150m, -730m and joins up with Sweet Sweet blue DH track at the end or Val Bleue if you want to head back into Val d'Isère.
