Tignes has much to offer freeriders and boarders, including a dedicated area, marked on the piste map as SPOT (Skiing the Powder of Tignes) in the Col des Ves sector. It comprises of different zones for different disciplines: backcountry, freeskiing, boarder cross and an Avalanche training section. The run Col de Ves is an ungroomed off-piste area, however it is patrolled.
In 2004/5 Tignes had two halfpipes: a 70m beginners’ halfpipe and a 120m expert one that complies with FIS standards. A tow rope operating alongside takes riders back to the top. The whole resort is boarder-friendly and repair kits/tools can be found on most lifts.
