There are a real mixture of enduro rides to be had in the area, from picturesque valley and wooded rides to more exposed ridge lines and descents to the valley floor.

Trails are graded from the easier 'Improver' to 'Advanced' and 'Expert' depending on the technical nature of the trails or how much climbing uphill is involved.

Improver Trails:

Flower Power: On the Val d'Isère side is a short link coming off the Borsat Attak DH trail covering just 1.5km and -160m with no uphill.
Cow Lantra: On the Palafour side of the Tignes bike park, it starts not far from the bottom of the Palafour lift and turns into a loop with views of the lake and back again. 6km +350m -350m.
Trailspotting: Also on the Palafour side of the Tignes bike park, is an 8km loop around the top of the Palafour lift and passes the Lacs du Chardonnet. +350m -350m.
