Non Skiing Activities
At Tignes le Lac you’ll find the Tignespace sports centre and the Lagon swimming pool. Guests can walk over the frozen ‘Le Lac’ to Val Claret using clearly mapped paths. Ice skating on the lake is very popular and many like to hire nets for a game of ice hockey.
Those with a real passion for the cold can dip their toes for an ice dive under the lake. Or maybe you fancy a husky ride or a nighttime ski to take in the twinkling lights of the surrounding area. The Tignespace complex has a climbing wall that's free. Or you can rent out a space to play football, tennis, badminton and squash.
