High-Altitude Training Facilities (General)

The high altitude of Tignes (2100m) and Val d'Isère (1850m) naturally provides excellent conditions for high-altitude training for athletes across various disciplines. While specific dedicated centers are present, the general environment itself with access to trails, roads, and facilities like tracks (sometimes temporary) and gyms in hotels allows for effective training. Many national sports teams choose the region for pre-season conditioning. The thin air aids in acclimatization and enhancing endurance.
