The Lacs du Chardonnet are nestled in the heart of the French Alps, above Tignes. Once there, you will be surrounded by rugged peaks and alpine pastures. At an altitude of around 2,500 metres, these glacial lakes offer crystal clear waters, and wildflowers bloom along the trails in summer.

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Aiguille Percée is 2,778 meters above sea level. Located at the foot of the summit there is a natural arch from which the mountain takes its name. From here we have a beautiful view of Tignes.

Lake Tignes

Highlight • Lake

It is a superb natural lake. Its waters descend directly from the Grande Motte glacier. In winter, the lake freezes and a footpath linking Tignes le Lac to Tignes Val Claret crosses it.
