What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Le Lagon Pool & Spa offers a decent swimming pool experience with ample space for families and lap swimmers, conveniently located in Tignes. However, visitors frequently mention the surprisingly cold water, which can limit enjoyment. The gym facilities are adequate but suffer from late opening hours and can get crowded, and some guests have reported issues with staff helpfulness and broken amenities.
"The aquatic centre is right next to the Tignes Lake. Coming with local buses you can get on-off the bus at Tignespace few minutes walk or at Toviere bus stop. The town centre few minutes walking distance. During ski season many skiers in the open space in front the centre. The reception ladies speak English, are helpful. Payment by cash or card. The place is clean and tidy, wifi available. The swimming pool is nice offering relaxatio for swimmers, beginers or those who want to do laps. The changing and locker areas are warm and clean with showers. The gym isn't bad but don't expect a big room. In the morning until noon isn't crowded. Cardio and strengh training. The orices are a little high and combos can be done like swim+gym, spa+swim etc. The reception is big."

"The front desk staff are blunt/unhelpful, it leaves a poor ambiance to the centre. Swimming pool is good and plenty for kids but the facilities are poor considering the high cost, such as hair driers not working. It's the second time I have found staff to be unhelpful and when speaking to other locals and seasionairs it is well known."

"This review is for the Gym:
It's a well equipped gym with a good variety of equipment. It has 3 squat racks on a rig and a selection of 10s, 20s and some fractionals. The quantity of plates is fine if only two of the racks are in use, but could do with a larger selection if all three racks are in use. There used to be some 15s but they disappeared when an extra rack was added for some reason. The barbells are in ok condition, but one of them does not spin well so makes olympic lifting uncomfortable if you're stuck with that barbell.
As for dumbbells, fortunately there is a decent selection again, but proportionally there is not really enough space, nor benches, to make full use of the selection when the gym is busy.
Machines and ergs wise, again a good variety. Could do with a ski erg or another rower, especially as the 3 rowers are very close to each and so having all three in use is not really feasible. Plenty of spin bikes for the classes they run too.
I would give the gym 4 stars, but I cannot. The single worst thing about the gym is that it only opens at 9am and given this is the only gym in Tignes, it makes it incredibly frustrating to not be able to get your workout done before your day, be it work, skiing or relaxing. This issue is exacerbated by the fact that naturally the gym gets incredibly busy in the afternoon/evening and by opening at 9am, it makes the rest of the day busier as those who train in the morning are forced to work around the 9am opening and increase busyness later in the day."
