Perched at an altitude of 2100 metres in the heart of the French Alps, Tignes is an unsuspected paradise for cycling enthusiasts during the summer season. Far from the hustle and bustle of winter, the resort transforms itself into an exceptional playground for cyclists of all levels. Rent a bike in Tignes and discover the mountain from a totally different angle, where each pedal stroke brings you closer to a panorama more breathtaking than the last.

The Voie Verte which winds around the Lac de Tignes offers an experience accessible to all. I particularly enjoyed this family ride, where the lapping of the water accompanied us as we pedaled leisurely between Tignes le Lavachet and Val Claret. Children can easily keep up with the pace on this flat route, ideal for a first exploration of the region by bike.
