The Grande Motte
The Grande Motte massif
Grande Motte is the highest massif in the Espace Killy and is the only part of the ski area to open in every season! Grande Motte is a realm of rock, ice and permanent snow cover. The scenery is grandiose as you look across to the Vanoise National Park to the south, Grande Motte (3656m) and Grande Casse (3852m) to the west, Mont Blanc to the north and Grande Sassière (3747m) to the east.
The Palet sector
The Palet massif is directly accessible from Val Claret. Lifts in this sector provide a liaison with Tignes le Lac. The highest points in this massif are the Col des Vés (2840m) and the Col du Palet (2700m).
The Tovière Sector
The lifts in this sector provide a liaison with Val d’Isère (Espace Killy). The Tovière sector is accessible from Tignes le Lac or Val Claret. The highest points in this sector are Tovière (2705m) and the Col de Fresse (2580m).

The highest point in this massif is the Aiguille Percée (2748m) a geological oddity worth a picture and a good place for a view of Tignes le Lac.
