Chalet Atlas
Features
Atlas was refurbished last year, with the addition of a hot-tub on its huge sun-terrace, a new TV and DVD and free use of the adjacent swimming-pool.The open-plan, split-level lounge area and dining-room have big picture windows looking out across the lake to the whole magnificent bowl, and the first floor balcony-terrace with its glass front is a superb sun-trap for afternoon tea!
You can ski to and from the Chardonnet lift just 150m away, and the resort centre of Tignes-le-Lac and its shops, bars and restaurants is just 100m further on. The Aeroski gondola connecting to Val d'lsère is only 5 minutes' walk.

Tignes Resort Info
Tignes skiing
Lift linked to Illustrious neighbour Val d'Isère to make up the Espace Killy, the Tignes ski area is, needless to say, vast and varied. The 300km of marked pistes cater for all levels and tastes with great off-piste, long wide blues and two snowparks (with another, even better one, over in Val d'Isère). Tignes also has the Grande Motte glacier providing year-round skiing. The glacier and Tignes' high altitude, make this resort for a great early or late season ski holiday destination. The whole area is serviced very well by an efficient lift system and the five 'satellites' that make up the resort are all linked by free bus.
Tignes ski resort
Due to its 1960s heritage, Tignes is not exactly famous for its Alpine charm. However, off-snow activities have improved somewhat over the last few years. There are a nice range of decent restaurants and bars whilst there are supermarkets for the largely self-catering crowd. Nightlife and après ski is pretty healthy and families are greatly welcomed with good childcare run by the ski schools. Overall, Tignes is not a place that relies upon Alpine ambience. But hey, who cares when the days are filled with such great skiing.
Number of ski lifts: 79 ; 2 funiculars, 4 cable cars ; 5 gondola lifts, 18 chairlifts, 25 detachable chairlifts
Number of runs: 155 with 26 black slopes (7 in Tignes), 39 red (19 in Tignes), 68 blue (36 (Tignes) and 22 green (7 in Tignes)
Snowmakers: 974
