If you are an ardent skier who is always on the lookout for the perfect skiing conditions, you have almost certainly heard of the resort of Tignes in the French Alps. Aside from offering tourists the very best in terms of pistes, skiing facilities and stunning landscapes, Tignes is also famous for the comfort of its accommodation. Catered ski chalets are many tourists’ preferred choice as they offer many advantages over staying at hotels.
While renting a whole house instead of a room may seem daunting to one’s budget, it could in fact save you some cash. The price of a chalet is split between the number of lodgers, so a sizeable group of friends is going to offer the individual both great holiday entertainment and a budget solution. What is more, unlike other shared accommodation options, in a chalet you can feel completely at home and at liberty to make yourself comfortable throughout the place. Another advantage of the catered ski chalets Tignes has to offer is that when you get off the pistes after an exhausting day’s skiing you needn’t expend any more precious energy in hunting down a dinner in town, because it is served to you directly at your lodgings.
These four chalets give you four more reasons to want to stay here.
Emile
This charming property accommodates groups of up to six people in a number of luxurious and spacious rooms. While it offers the perfect setting to escape from reality, its free WiFi connection and flat-screen TV allow you to keep as much in touch with it as you like. Located five minutes away from the town centre and a mere minute away from the pistes, Emile gives you the perfect balance between peaceful cultural immersion and extreme living.
Isabelle
Located only 30 metres away from the pistes, Isabelle keeps your skiing spirit high at all times. It sleeps a maximum of eight guests in double en-suite rooms and treats them to a cosy living area with a fireplace, a spacious balcony and breathtaking views of the setting sun over the mountains.
Alfredo
Alfredo offers a slice of cool modernity while still retaining its Alpine charm. The six bedrooms and living areas all have their own balconies, making this a lovely, light-filled accommodation option. Mod cons such as a sauna, heated boot dryers and a lift to the entrance add that little bit of luxury to your holiday. Better yet, it’s one of our best placed catered ski chalets; Tignes Le Lac centre is a five-minute walk away, while the perfect pistes of the Espace Killy are just 140m away from the doorstep.
Arktic
If you like the sound of contemporary living, try Arktic on for size. This sleek and stylish chalet with an indoor swimming pool, sauna and home cinema room offers James Bond levels of sophistication in the Alps. Views over the lake and the entire Tignes bowl can be admired from the sun terrace – or through the impressive floor-to-ceiling windows if you’re curled up in front of the “floating†log fire in the depths of winter.
The perfect skiing conditions, traditional ambiance, spectacular scenery and catered ski chalets Tignes has to offer will leave you craving to return again and again. So if you are searching for your next unforgettable winter experience, you have found it. Enjoy your stay in Tignes!
