A great opportunity to (re) discover Tignes, labeled "active and sporting town". If the resort is known to be a land of champions for the events it hosts (The Stars of the sport, Tour de France, L1 football rehearsal, trails ...), it is also a big playground (golf Mountain biking, hiking, summer skiing) and nautical thanks to its lake and its highest beach in Europe (2 100m above sea level).
