Take the funicular railway from Val Claret to 3032m and then the (optional) Grande Motte cable car to go further up to 3456m and enjoy a walk around the snow (snowshoes optional) and the view of the surrounding peaks and the massifs of Mont Pourri, the Grande Sassière ridges, Grande Casse (highest point of the Vanoise: 3,856m) and the majestic Mont Blanc range.
TOP TIP: Altitude Experience is Free with our Active Pack on the MyTignes pass. Combine it with an afternoon at the lake using your free pass for the SUP, kayak or pedalo on Tignes' lake, Nautic Base.
Take the funicular railway from Val Claret up to the heady altitude of 3032 metres, (included on our MyTignes pass), and you will reach the foot of the Grande Motte glacier. Here, you can enjoy the panoramic terrace to view incredible mountain ranges in the sun and perhaps enjoy a coffee or lunch at the Panoramic restaurant. You can then walk around the snowline or go for a hike as you’ve never experienced in this incredible high mountain zone.
As an added extra - you can then take the cable car from the Panoramic terrace to ascend to 3,456m The open top cable car is an additional €10 supplement, on sale at the top of the funicular railway arrival point in ticket machines. And you can ride on the roof of the cable car with a guide telling you about the glacier as you ascend.
At the top you will be in a glacial zone, so walk around the immediate area and snow line but do not stray from the marked and secured areas.
