Le Lagon Tignes — Local services in Albertville

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...

A swimming pool pretending to be a sub tropical swim paradise, though temperatures of air ( fellt chilly) and water (28 degrees Celsius) do not deserve that tittle. Also the wellness part fellt chilly as was the water temperature of the jacuzzi’s. Only two cold showers, no outside space to cool down. When the closing time was announced and all remaining guests where summoned to leave, at the same time the female showers where closed for cleaning creating a queue at the only remaining ones: the mens showers (for both female and men). As there where only four private cabines for all guests and also the number of changing cabines was insufficiënt, this resulted in delays in showering/ dressing up. We where with two adults and one five year old doing our best to meet all targets. There was zero flexibility from staff. This was due to staff starting to clean amidsth their peak rush hour forcing guests to queue. At the same time staff was vigourishly chasing customers to meet their closing deadline. As staff was more interested in being home in time my wife was forced to leave her changing cabin without the ability to dry her hair and was let out in that condition into a night with sub zero...

The entrance has a sign to give you an indication of how busy the different areas of the pool are. We stopped by since our ski pass gave us free access. Getting in was chaotic. The only way to get in and out of the pool area is through the changing rooms. You end up trying to fight with people from the other side to get into a changing room. Once you manage to get through it is a bit calmer. There are lockers where you can store your items which uses a pin code to lock and unlock. You then go through the shower areas before getting to the pool area. There are two pools, a lagoon looking one and another more traditional pool. You are able to do laps in the normal pool. The interesting bit is that they have a water slide which was quite fun. Since it was really busy when we went it was hard to relax so we ended up spending more time waiting for a changing room than in the actual...
