Tignes Bike Park

The Tignes Bike Park has an excellent network of mountain bike trails located on the Toviere and the Palafour mountain areas. Conveniently accessed by the Aeroski gondola and the Palafour chairlift, you will find suitable trails for both beginners and experts. There is a specific mountain bike pass available that will give you unlimited access to the following areas:

The Toviere sector is made up of 4 downhill trails:

Gunpowder: a blue trail for riders with some experience

Funky Tufs: a blue trail for riders with some experience + a specialist freeride zone (ramps, jumps & bridges etc)

Gypsy: a difficult red trail with specialist freeride zone (wall ride, gap jump, bridges and step up)

Black Metal: a black graded trail for expert riders only!

Palafour has 2 downhill trails:

Easyride: a green trail suitable for all levels of rider

Jump Around: a blue trail for riders with some experience

If you are not averse to a little uphill pedalling, then there are also 8 endurance trails (68kms) to enjoy in Tignes, which range from steep mountain tracks to gentler forest trails. These are also accessed by the two main lifts, so in the main part they are downhill but with some short uphill sections.

With a reputation for it’s great snowparks in the winter, mountain biking in Tignes would not be complete without a freestyle area. The Dirt Zone is where all the gnarly dudes hang out, pulling off some amazing tricks on the man–made bumps. As with the snowpark, the obstacles are graded by difficulty meaning that anyone can have a go. However, if you are a bit apprehensive about trying tricks for the first time, you can have a practice run on the Water Jump, where you and your bike launch off a ramp and land in the lake!
