Learn MoreMost of our guests are happy using our free-use ‘front suspension’ bikes and E-bikes around the valley floor trails of Brevieres and Tignes le Lac. There are lots of flat trails which all abilities will enjoy for a mini two-wheeled adventure.
More confident bikers can use the chairlifts and gondolas in Tignes Lac with our free lift pass, so long as you ride a full suspension bike. You can access the lifts using the free resort bike shuttle from Les Brev’ and of course the regions Cross Country and Downhill trails are some of the best in France, crowd-free and span about 350 Km's.
Confident riders can use the chairlifts and gondolas in Tignes to access the high trails using full-suspension Downhill bikes. There are fewer trails and lifts than Morzine, but they are of a high quality and relatively crowd-free. Each of the 6 lifts spans a larger area across Tignes and Val d'Isère and the lift pass is free (for 3 or 6 days) on the MyTignes Multipass in our Active Packs. You will have about 350Km’s of excellent trail-riding which is more than enough for a week away. The riding is suited to all levels, from beginner and up, using full-suspension bikes and we recommend our DH bike lessons.
With an altitude range of 1550m to 3456m, the terrain is diverse and the trails are quieter which puts it on a par with the mighty Morzine. There may be fewer Km’s of trails than Morzine, but it’s high quality stuff.
Tignes is great for beginner and expert Downhill riders and you will enjoy our special Downhill MTB Lesson which we have designed with local professionals Evolution 2 to appeal to everyone, even the faint hearted! These lessons will help you get started in the world of Downhill MTB or just improve your riding on Tignes’ epic trails.
You will start on famous beginner trails like the Smoothie (green) or Jump Around (blue) which go from the top of the Palafour chairlift and, like all lifts and trails, is FREE on your MyTignes Multipass! Your Multipass will include a number of amazing trails and bike parks for the experts.
Cross Country riders will love that sense of adventure that comes from covering huge distances using your free lift pass, but knowing you can always get back home! Tignes and Val d'Isère have about 350 Kms of high quality trails with wildlife and scenery that will blow you away.
Check out some very long rides that span over into Vald’Isere, like the Popeye ride. The quality of trails is excellent, (even if the number of Kms is less than Morzine), and there are far fewer people on the trails in Tignes - which is really what counts!
The vast altitude range of this region (1550m to 2,800m) also means the riding here is more diverse and interesting than anywhere else in the Alps.
To get to the lifts for the Downhill trails you’ll need to ride the free resort shuttle from les Brev’ up to Tignes le Lac, but you can ride back to Brev’ using some excellent high-trails from the top of the Pallafour chairlift. It’s a great home run!
Simply take the free resort minibus shuttle up to Tignes Le Lac (shuttle stops is 5 mins walk from our hotel and runs every 30 mins). Alight at the Tourist office and the lifts are right there!
