Walking & Hiking

If you like walking and hiking, (or just taking a gentle stroll in stunning surroundings), then you’ll love our alpine resorts. You can discover hundreds of miles of tracks and trails served by a lift system (lift passes are free with our Active Packs) to help you cover miles of scenic terrain and reach high vantage points easily.

Enjoy spectacular views and an array of wildlife, pine forest, high mountain passes, gorgeous lakes and waterfalls with a sense of tranquillity that is almost unparallelled. Once discovered, many visitors return year after year for a pure hit of unpolluted fresh air, returning home full of joie de vivre!

Walks & Hikes in Tignes

Free Lift passes!

You will also receive a free pedestrian lift pass within our Active Packs which includes access to a multiple of cable cars, gondolas and chair-lifts all week. There’s more than more than 800 Km’s of signposted paths and trails and these lifts will enable you to cover many miles of scenic alpine terrain and reach high vantage points easily. We also offer Route cards with itinerary suggestions for a great day out and walking maps to help you find the best trails.

Social Walking Groups

Our Mountain Team can organise social walking groups during your week. You can sign up at reception and we will connect you with other guests for a chance to walk in company, normally following one of our suggested itineraries, (or Route Cards). To join a social walking group then please ask our team on arrival and we’ll endeavour to match you with a group of like minded walkers who compliment your fitness and taste.

Guided Walks

A professional guide is a great way to see the local area and if you team up with other Alpine Elements guests it will bring the cost down and make it more sociable. We often bring guests together so they can share the cost of a guide which is typically from €250 to €300 a day.

Your guide will help you discover the region, taking you to high vantage points and showing you incredible vistas and wildlife along the way. Guided walks suit all abilities: high routes for the hikers and easy routes for the not-so-adventurous walkers and families.

GUIDED WALKS TIGNES

More than 800 Km of trails!

Our resorts offer a network of spectacular walking and hiking trails for all levels of fitness. In Morzine there are more than 850 km’s of marked trails around the Portes du Soleil, served by 25 lifts on your free lift pass which span over into Switzerland. 

THE MOUNTAIN LIFT SYSTEM

Our Route Cards (itinerary suggestions)

For our guests in Tignes, you don’t have to go far to experience the glacier, and the train ticket up to 3000m is included with our Active Pack ‘MyTignes’ lift pass.

To spice up the experience, buy an onward ticket up the Grande Motte cable car (about €10) to 3456m and even hire some crampons or snowshoes to walk around the snow at the top.

Our Morzine and Les Gets guests can enjoy a unique experience in Chamonix which is a one hour drive, or ask our Reps about a coach trip - which we often run if participant numbers allow. On arrival, you can buy a ticket for the Montveners train up to the glacier which is a stunning train ride up. Also try the Aguille Midi (highest cable car in Europe) and visit the viewing platform and its terraces which offer a 360° view of the Alps.

 

OUR FAVOURITE WALKS

Nordic Walking

Nordic walking is an enhancement of normal walking, where poles are used to propel the walker along and to work the upper body. So why not grab a pair of Nordic poles - which are available in all our hotels - and explore the mountain at a faster and safer pace.

  • Poles ensure that the upper body muscles are used as well as the legs.
  • Poles help stabilise the walker over tricky terrain.
  • Poles help propel the walker along. 
  • The walker works harder than usual, yet the support from the poles makes walking feel easier.

 

Glacier Walking & Hiking

For our guests in Tignes, you don’t have to go far to experience the glacier, and the train ticket up to 3000m is included with our Active Pack ‘MyTignes’ lift pass. 

To spice up the experience, buy an onward ticket up the Grande Motte cable car (about €10) to 3456m and even hire some crampons or snowshoes to walk around the snow at the top.
