Ice Diving
Presentation
Tignes - The Big Blue!
The Tignes-Val d´Isère area is full of natural wonders. Among them, the natural lake of Tignes 2100 which dons its mantle of ice for winter. Up to 2 metres thick, the ice forms and reforms daily to provide a simply magical play of light and shadow. Accompanied by a qualified diving instructor, you will experience a unique adventure, day or night, in complete confidence in the town where the famous film "Le Grand Bleu / The Big Blue" was shot (ice scene in Peru) !
Day light scuba diving under the ice is accessible to all !
The night time diving is recommended to those who have a preivous experience.
📍The meeting point is located on the shore of Lake Tignes, on the Tignes le Lac side. Meet Vincent or a member of his team at the large cabin below the Le Lagon aquatic center.
