Other activities in Tignes include ski-jöring (being pulled along the snow by a horse), paragliding and even ice diving.
Although not recommend as a place to visit if you’re not skiing or snowboarding, Tignes does have plenty of other pastimes to supplement your day if you need a breather from the slopes or feel in need of some other form of entertainment. Other snow activities include ski-jöring (being pulled along the snow by a horse), paragliding, cross country skiing, snowmobiling and dog sledding. There is even an ice diving club (phone Tignes Tourist Info).
If you want a complete change then Tignes has a cinema and a bowling alley. If you’re after some retail therapy, though, then it is be best to go elsewhere, as Tignes does not have that wide an array of shops. Le Bec Rouge (in Le Lac) and Val Claret offer the largest selection of retailers, though most are sport shops. There are several supermarkets for the large self-catering community. An open-air market in Le Lac on Thursday and Sunday sells local produce and sports/ski clothing.
