Further details for this holiday apartment rental in Tignes, France

The Skiing: The apartment is situated in Tignes in the best ski area in France, the Espace Killy, which links Val d'Isere and Tignes. The village of Le Lavachet offers a supermarket several bars and restaurants 2 lifts to whisk you up to the slopes and a regular bus service to link you with the other areas of Tignes.It is ideal for intermediates and advanced skiers, although beginners are well catered for, offering a learning area where they can be a part of the scene right in the centre of the village.The Grande Motte glacier offers skiing right through into early May. Take the opportunity to take a second ski trip late season when there is fantastic snow and the slopes are virtually empty.

The Golf: The golf in summer is on the Par 68 5000 yard course situated on the meadowed slopes of Tignes. Situated at 2100 metres it is the highest golf course in Europe. The experience of playing golf at this height is amazing as the balls fly for forever due to the thinner air. The wildlife of wild goats and marmots also provide a difference from the local golf course, but best of all are the natural hazards.

Ski: * Tignes ( 2100 metres) is situated close to Val d'Isere and has a glacier which offers excellent snow conditions all through the long season from early December right through to mid May. * There are many red and blue runs ideal for intermediate skiers whilst some of the best off-piste and black runs can be found here in Tignes.

Review Submitted: March 17, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2007
Great apartment, very clean and well equiped. Owners are on hand and really care about their clients, the personal touch makes all the difference. The location is quiet, but not remote, spectacular views, ski in and ski out if you cross the road. Le Brassero was difficult to ski past though, you might even get to hear Pete play the bongos! The beer and food are great too. We went paragliding which was fun and worth a try. Tignes is a fantastic place to ski, we went to every corner of Tignes and Val d'Isere both on and off piste and would recommend the resort as a destination for all abilities. I have no hesitation in recommending you to stay in Clem and Pete's apartments, you won't go wrong if you do.

relaxing well located apartment

SophieSki Reading, UK
Review Submitted: May 13, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
It did help that I was given a last minute free upgrade to this apartment that is much more spacious than the one I was to rent. Thanks for that Clem!
The bunks are in an alcove which make them feel less corridor-ish, and having a door into the sitting room to cut off some of the noise and light when I was up later than the kids, although some noise comes through he serving hatch.
The kitchen had more than the usual amount of equipment and crockery and everything worked well. The DVD player and flat screen were lovely, and the baby sitter (which I arranged separately) liked having the Wi-Fi.
The ski locker is a bit cramped but it is handy having it downstairs (you have to go down a few steps and wind around a bit to get to it from the front entrance).
The balcony was lovely and sunny.
All local facilities were nice and close, and it is a very easy (green and pisted though not a piste) ski back to the apartment block. You can ski down to the lifts from opposite the bus stop. Buses run frequently to the rest of Tignes.
The local Sherpa food shop has a great selection, even for special diets. We found tofu, soya milk, dairy-free cream, nutritional yeast flakes, soya yogurt and custard, amongst many other vegan-friendly products, including a great range of fresh fruit and vegetables, some of which were organic.
A selection of ski hire shops and the lift pass shops are also near by, as is the bus stop. The only noise you get is from others in this huge apartment block. So that is luck of the draw in terms of who is next door or loud in the corridors / on balconies. The floors are solid and thick so there is not much vertical noise travel.
It would be great if Tignes could sort out its dog poo problem though - it's everywhere! All the same Tignes is my favourite resort for both family and expert skiing. I heartily recommend the Ultimate Ski School - a small British school with small class sizes which the kids excelled in.
The owner was in resort and very responsive by text if we had any problems. We had a fabulous holiday and would love to stay there again.

Review Submitted: April 6, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
The apartment was great, just what we wanted. We are a family of 6 so our 2 eldest boys slept in the lounge using the sofa beds whilst the 2 youngest blagged the bunks! And our separate double room was a welcome retreat after dinner to read books and catchup on our emails using the inclusive wifi.

The apartment was clean and tidy when we arrived and everything worked as described. We loved the Piste Map on the wall as it meant we could plan our ski-ing in the evening for some long trips across to Val the next day. The ski-ing is excellent and we had great snow and sun. The whole resort area caters well for beginners through to advanced. You can also ski the Val d'Isere region.

Throughout our booking and our subsequent stay Clem, the owner couldn't have been more helpful. When we got there we bumped into her (lovely to meet you, Clem) and she helped familiarise us with Le Lavachet. Although tucked away at the furthest point from the ski-ing centre the area is well serviced with 2 main lifts out and one ski run in. A 5 minute walk in the morning gets you to the main lifts and in the evening you can ski to the door. Gin and tonics on the balcony in the evening sun were perfect!

We didn't go out much but we did have a lovely meal at Le Brasero, a lively bar just round the corner. All the staff seemed to be British and were really fun and helpful - burger specials recommended and Happy Hour from 4-6pm every night. They offer major Sports events on Sky and 3 nights a week there is live music in the bar.

Ski and boot rentals were round the corner at Mick & Bobs Sports. They are French but speak reasonable English and were very helpful. You are best to make your booking for skis before you go - we used Snowrental and got 50% off their prices so make sure you book before you go. We made a mistake but cancelled and re-booked using the WiFi access in the apartment and still got our 50% discount for the altered booking. Otherwise you pay full price for everything in the shop. (Take a laptop!)

This year we drove - it's about 10 hours from Calais and we spent a night in Chambery before driving up the following morning.

All in all we had a fantastic time - this apartment is highly recommended.

good value for money accomodation. Basic, well maintained and small but big enought for 5-6 people. Good location with all amineties within close walking distance and shuttle bus that takes you straights to the main area of resorts where all the main lifts are. Loved Tignes and would definetly like to come back.

Excellent value for money, nicely furnished and well-equipped for self-catering. A much quieter location than most places in Val Claret or Le Lac, and a fantastic view from the window. A bit cramped for 5 people - more suited to 3/4 really - but we were a group of 5 and managed fine.
