Chalet Isabelle
Features
This lovely little chalet is ideal for a group of 10 or 11 people. The cosy atmosphere of the chalet is enhanced by the stone fireplace and pieces of traditional regional furniture and artefacts.
Comfortable chairs and sofas are arranged beneath the timbered, pitched ceiling in the open plan lounge/dining room. Meals are taken around the large wooden dining table which encourages a relaxed and informal ambience.
The chalet is a short 50m walk to the piste and nearest lifts and there are a number of shops and bars nearby. A chalet chef and ski host (shared with Chalet Madeleine) live-in, and will arrange for an honesty bar of snacks, soft drinks, beers, and mixers. Chalet Isabelle is a very popular choice with many returning guests so book early

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
