7 minutes to skiing enjoyment
 
Since March 1993, Perce Neige funicular offers a lift from the heart of Tignes. Located at an altitude of 2,100 metres – at the foot of the 3,000-metre glacier – it will transport you in a record time of 7 minutes!

- Mont Pourri
- Ridges of Grande Sassière
- Grande Casse (highest point of La Vanoise: altitude of 3,856 metres)
- Majestic Mont Blanc range (in the distance)
