FROM AGE 14
A legendary ascent with breathtaking views!
Situated in the heart of the Vanoise National Park, the Grande Motte Glacier summit is a climb that’s accessible to almost everyone. With only a slight change in altitude, reaching the top doesn’t require exceptional athleticism—making it the perfect challenge for climbers of all levels!
Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced mountaineer, our expert guides will ensure you're comfortable and prepared, offering you the best possible conditions for a smooth ascent.
This is a climb you’ll never forget, filled with new sensations and offering spectacular views from the summit!
HOW IT WORKS :
- The day before your adventure, meet us in the late afternoon at the Bureau des Guides in Tignes to get fitted for your equipment (boots, crampons, harness, and helmet).
- On the day of your climb, you’ll meet your guide at the Perce-Neige funicular in Tignes Val Claret (we'll send you the exact timing in advance based on the lift schedule, which changes during the summer).
- Once equipped on the way up, you'll rope up with your guide and head for the glacier, where your ascent will begin!
- After reaching the summit and descending back, you’ll arrive back at the funicular departure point around 12:30/13:00. To wrap up your unforgettable experience, we recommend relaxing on the terrace of Le Panoramique restaurant, which offers a breathtaking view of the highest peaks in the French and Italian Alps!

They experienced this adventure...
A must-try activity!
Usually not very comfortable in the water, the guides reassured me as soon as I arrived, and put me at ease in just a few minutes! My children were amazed and proud of me! Incredible sensations and landscapes that I won't soon forget!
