Chalet Francois
Features
Chalet Francois is very popular to our programme and a great success with guests. All rooms enjoy the comfort of en suite facilities and the luxury of a steam room, Jacuzzi and sauna on the basement level of the building. The chalet is modern throughout and has a comfortable living area, open fireplace and spectacular views over the Bollin piste and Grand Motte glaciers.
The chalet is accessed via an internal lift and central staircase. With such a convenient location and excellent facilities, Francois is sure to be popular again in 2008/09 – early booking is recommended.Alternatively, the Grand Motte Funicular is only a 5 minute walk away. The lively bars and restaurants of Val Claret are also within easy walking distance (approx. 5 minutes).

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
