Tignes website is showing quite a few closed trails due to snow.

Not sure how recent that info is.

Can anyone provide any more details.

Cheers

Last week there was still snow around 2,000m in places, it's been hot there and it's melting out pretty fast but there did look to be some affecting the trails and aero ski is gone so I'm not sure how they're accessing those trails.

This was about 8000 feet up on the French/Italian boarder last week

This was the worst bit (about a 150m push)

But nearly all the trails were passable with a little care - we didn't see any snow @ Tignes.

I cycled up the Iseran two weeks ago on the roadie and the top section, past Val D'Isere, looked like it had an ace mtb trail on the other side of the valley, traversing all the way down to Val. I don't know if it's just a footpath or what but if it's rideable then it looks like a fantastic bit of trail.
