Chalet Les Martins B

Features

Sleeps 9
2 Bathrooms
Terrace/Balcony
Chalet (Half board plus wine)

Both the Chaudanne and the Paquis lifts are a short walk away (280 metres), making access to the Val d’Isère and Tignes sides of the resort supremely easy. In addition, there is a piste within approx 50 metres of the chalet (these 50 metres are not pisted). It is also close to the centre of Tignes Le Lac (420 metres) and a good selection of bars and nightlife.

A traditional wooden clad building, Chalet Les Martins is divided into 3 separate units – one chalet on each floor. Each chalet is similarly decorated and all are homely and comfortable. Each has its own separate living room complete with south facing balcony and dining room for between 8 and 10 people. All floors are linked by a shared staircase which goes through each chalet.

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.
