We’ve selected six of the best activities to do on holiday in Tignes, (one for each day of your week), and they’re all free-to-do in our Active Pack, to guests of the Hotel Tetras Lodge in Les Brevieres.
These activities will give you the most rounded experience of the spectacular Vanoise National Park - a protected area full of alpine flora, fauna, (that’s wildlife to you and me!), incredible mountain vistas and snow covered glaciers - all of which you can experience on two feet, by two wheels, or with a paddle in your hands!
Tignes Les Brevieres is the original ‘old town’ of Tignes. It’s quieter than Tignes and utterly picturesque - surrounded by stunning walks and bike rides in nature. We run a more luxe holiday where the guides (or transport) and activities come to our hotel, so you don't always have to go wandering off looking for meeting points.
The southern alpine sunshine promises a lot of great weather and the huge altitude range (1550m to 3456m+) allows us to offer our guests a more adventurous, rugged and diverse holiday where you can try everything from Whitewater rafting… to glacier tours…high altitude hikes to a refuge… and even summer skiing!
Included | Half day / or Full day
A guided hike is the best way to see the area, and ours are led by professional mountain guides who will show you some incredible sights, wildlife and mountain culture. Join a Discovery walk for families or an Adventure hike to the Eye of the Needle, a spectacular rock formation which is one of the region's most INSTA-captured images.
If you have upgraded to our Adventure Pack, you will have a full day hike to the Refuge Martin for lunch at 2187m.
In the afternoon, why not play some tennis or take out a mountain bike from our hotel and go for a mini-adventure.
Included | Allow half a day + | Ages 10+
We offer a guided E-bike ‘Discovery’ Tour (perfect for families) or an ‘Adventure’ Tour for more experienced riders. Your guide is a professional instructor and will impart riding tips and technique to help you master this incredible sport. You’ll also get to cruise around some beautiful trails - made all the more exciting by your pedal assist motor which helps push you along!
In the afternoon, take it easy and try one of our itinerary walks around the lake in front of the hotel. Or take the free bus up to Tignes and use the lifts to walk or sightsee. It’s all free on your MyTignes pass.
Included | Allow a full day
The Grande Motte glacier is a must-do excursion and will take you to 3456m. Enjoy a pit stop for coffee or lunch at the halfway point when you reach the Panoramic terrace (3032m) and experience views across the Alps. Then you can board the cable car up to the top of the glacier. At the top you will be in a glacial zone, so do not stray from the marked and secured areas. You can hire a guide if you would like to hike around the snow and glacier and our Active Team can organise this on request. Your guide will take you across a snow covered glacier using crampons.
In the afternoon, why not visit the lake in Tignes and use your free session of Paddleboarding or kayaking - which is on the way home from the glacier. Or try the Giant Slide at Acroland.
Included | Allow half a day + | Age 8+
Included for all our hotel guests is a Whitewater Rafting experience for ages 8+; or you can choose Via Ferrata if rafting isn't quite your cup of tea. If you choose rafting, you will be exhilarated on grade 2-3 rapids, which are suitable for families.
Adventure Pack guests will be upgraded to grade 2-4 rapids for a longer, faster ride called the ‘Great Descent’, (ages 12+). The rafting centre is in a beautiful riverside setting with a wonderful, welcoming team who will make sure you have a great time. You will be picked up directly from the hotel and the drive is about 30-40 mins
In the afternoon: It will be mid-afternoon by the time you return, so why not take it easy for a while?...Enjoy the hotel garden, the lake and the beautiful restaurants and bars in Les Brevieres.

You can choose from an inclusive Downhill MTB lesson for beginners and experts using full-suspension bikes; or join another guided hike with a professional mountain guide.
If you choose hiking: Our hikes are a very popular and sociable excursion, enjoyed with fellow Alpine guests.You will enjoy a different walk to compliment our free guided walk that we ran earlier in the week.
If you choose MTB Lesson: Everyone wants to try REAL mountain biking using full sus’ bike on ‘proper’ high altitude trails - with banked corners, humps, bumps and swooshing turns. A sport often reserved for experts only is now accessible to everyone (age 10+) so even complete beginners can give-it-a-go. We have partnered with Evo 2 (local bike professionals) to offer a novice and intermediate experience which takes you from absolute basics. This lesson will also accommodate expert riders and give you tips and technique on a special course which is laid out in front of the Evo 2 centre.
All of the activities featured on this page are free and included with your Active Pack or Adventure Pack upgrade. Where a second activity option is suggested, such as a guided hike instead of an MTB lesson it will require a minimum number of participants, which is 8 for the hike, 5 for MTB. We don’t often have a problem with participant numbers. All activities are supplied by third party suppliers for whom we act as agents and whose terms and conditions will apply.
