All our guests enjoy a free session of Stand-Up Paddleboarding, Kayaking or Pedalo at the Nautical Base on the large lake in Tignes Le Lac. It’s included on your MyTignes pass, part of our Active Packs, and makes for a brilliant afternoon in central Tignes.

While you’re there, you can also make use of other free activities on the MyTignes pass — including mountain lifts for biking and walking, trampolining, shooting, and access to the leisure centre.

Getting to Le Lac is easy — simply hop on the free resort shuttle from Les Brévières.

You can choose kayaking instead of SUP, and even switch between the two during quieter periods. The base offers solo and two-person sit-on-top kayaks, perfect for exploring the calm, scenic lake.
