La Grande Motte towers over Tignes, above the glacier. Look at the latest available image and read the weather estimated at the top cable-car station, at 3,456 m.
In short. La Grande Motte rises to 3,653 m according to Wikipedia; the top station of its cable car is at 3,456 m, the altitude of this page’s forecast. The webcam is published by Windy.com Webcams; it is a periodic image. Temperature and wind are model estimates at 3,456 m, not measurements, and they do not say whether the lifts are running.
The listed view is the one Windy.com Webcams publishes under the name “Grande Motte”; its source does not publish its altitude. It shows the sky, the snow and the visibility at one moment. The same summit is the “top” of the Tignes resort page, where it is the top point of the forecast.
The forecast at the top of the page is calculated by the Open-Meteo model for the top cable-car station, at 3,456 m, which is 1,356 m above Tignes le Lac (2,100 m). AlpeSnow has no sensor at the summit: temperature, wind and snow line are model values, useful for comparing, not for planning a high-mountain outing.
According to Wikipedia, the Grande Motte glacier, on the north side of the summit, is the highest point of the Espace Killy ski area and allows summer skiing. Tignes announces a gradual opening of its ski area from 21 November 2026, notably with the Grande Motte glacier: the opening dates of the lifts and the glacier are published by the resort and its operator, not by this page.
Tignes: lifts and passesTignes le Lac (2,100 m) is about 85 km from Albertville; the nearest railway station is Bourg-Saint-Maurice. For the village forecast, access and the resort’s other webcams, open the Tignes page.

No: they are images refreshed regularly by their operator, not a continuous video stream. The capture time is shown on the image or at the source; a view with no image for more than 24 hours is not shown here.
Text of this page last revised on . This date says nothing about how recent the images or data are: the webcams are supplied by the credited operators and their timestamp shows when the image was taken; model forecasts and official reports are separate pieces of information, each with its own time. The forecast applies to the point and altitude shown in the weather block.
