Lake Tignes

Highlight • Lake

It is a superb natural lake. Its waters descend directly from the Grande Motte glacier. In winter, the lake freezes and a footpath linking Tignes le Lac to Tignes Val Claret crosses it.

The Aiguille Percée is 2,778 meters above sea level. Located at the foot of the summit there is a natural arch from which the mountain takes its name. From here we have a beautiful view of Tignes.
