Rock Climbing, Tignes 

In this excursion, you can try easy and advanced climbs following pre laid routes, all at the same site, so don't worry if you are a seasoned climber - you can do this activity with your kids and be learning new skills at the same time.

You will learn how to climb with good form, how to belay and abseil (which is lots of fun!). You’ll also learn advanced techniques from our highly experienced, state qualified instructors such as lead climbing, where you will clip in your own gear using premade routes. Think of this as a more advanced taster course for beginners which will prepare you for eventual autonomy on the climbing routes of Tignes.

The hamlet of Chevril is just above Tignes Les Brévierès and close to the dam. It is a few mins’ drive from our hotel. You can walk or E-bike to the activity meeting point, which is a small car park on the top of the dam’s technical building. To walk there, we’d recommend starting your journey with the free minibus shuttle from Brevieres. Alight at Tignes Les Boisses (first stop) and walk across the top of the dam following the pavement. It’s a lovely experience.

The walk takes about 5 or 10 mins’ to the carpark meeting point which is above the technical building of the dam. Walk up behind the building via the main road to Val d’Isère. From the junction to Val’ there is no pavement for 100m, but the car park is right there on the right hand side, above the technical building. The shuttle to Les Boisses is free on the MyTignes pass and the stop is 5 mins walk from our hotel. It runs every 30 mins.
