Climbing the Grande Motte

La Grande Motte 3653m
The highest point in the resort of Tignes is the gateway to a magical world, a world of happiness in the heights! This ascent allows you to discover the joys of mountaineering, accessible to most people. After using the lifts to reach the top of the ski area, we climb the East ridge, which starts in an easy rocky section and ends in snow and ice to the summit. The descent is via the North ridge, the same way: on snow and ice, then on rock, until we reach the cable car.
