A perfect place to stay for a cozy ski vacation.

The property is a dream come true. It's within a walking distance to a lift and a gondola, which takes you to the top of the mountain. The property is located in Tignes and you can ski across to Val D'Isere or take a shuttle bus there if interested. There are many cute cafes, restaurants and bars within minutes walk, we never even had the desire to go anywhere else. The restaurant next to the gondola overlooking the stream has amazing crepes and beer as well as escargot. Everything you will need is within walking distance.
There is even a very well stocked convenience store with salami, cheese, beer, wine, fresh bread and pastries and other necessities.
When we arrived we were greeted by the wonderful host, who was kind and helpful throughout our stay. The property is very well maintained, very clean and cozy.
We will return to the property 100% and I would most definitely recommend this property and destination as a vacation spot. I am as passionate about snowboarding as the rest of the group was, so after a half a day on the mountain there was still plenty to do and explore. It's also a very romantic getaway.

La Sassiere

PVIN West Lothian, Scotland
Review Submitted: April 22, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
This was a first class apartment with all the facilities and equipment we needed. It is situated in a good position with a good open outlook, and Les Brevieres is an excellent place to stay for skiing in the Tignes/Val d'Isere area.
The apartment was well kitted out with cooking utensils etc., and the standard of fittings and furniture helped contribute to a very enjoyble stay. The owner's were friendly and helpful, and gave us lots of good advice about where to ski.
Would recommend this to anyone.

Easter stay April 2009

Review Submitted: April 21, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
We had a fabulous 1 week skiing holiday staying at Chalet La Sassiere.

As a family of four with two boys, aged 11 and 13, we all found this property to be absolutely ideal for our needs.
It was immaculate inside, with a good size living area, two comfortable bedrooms and a lovely bathroom with a great shower and plenty of hot water. The chalet was very well heated, and the kitchen was well stocked with all the facilities you could need for easy cooking. There was also plenty of storage for all our personal belongings, boots, bags etc.. and a separate, outside lockup storage for your skis.

La Sassiere was also well located in the village of La Breviere, near the small shops and restaurants and very convenient for skiing, being only a short walk from the main gondola, (although taking our car down to the free car park, just outside the main gondola was well worth it - especially as you would otherwise have to carry your skis uphill on the way home)!

Ken and Cynthia were both really efficient with all their correspondence with us and couldn't do enough to make sure we had everything we needed to make our holiday easier and more pleasurable.

We would highly recommend this lovely little chalet to all our friends and to anyone wanting a convenient, comfortable and restful stay in what is a great skiing area.

Thank you very much Ken and Cynthia, we would definitely like to book and come back again one day.

Fantastic time in French Alps.

Review Submitted: March 27, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
The chalet and its owners’ hospitality were beyond satisfying. The chalet is newly renovated and has plenty of room to comfortably fit up to 6 people. You can find anything that you possibly need in a household for cooking, sleeping, etc.

The chalet’s is conveniently located as well. The local van service can take you straight to the lift and back home after the full day of skiing.

I shall certainly consider of coming back to this place sometime in a future.

Enjoy!

Apartment La Sassiere

Tivo Manchester, UK
Review Submitted: March 16, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
An excellent apartment, I would highly recommend this accommodation to my friends and would stay again when we return to Tignes.

Spacious, clean, modern apartment with all mod-cons, which is hard to find in most French ski-reports. Although there was only three of us, it would also be perfect for two couples or four adults sharing.

Ken and Cynthia, the owners, are really friendly and helpful as mentioned in the other reviews.

The apartment is a short walk up-hill from the village but it’s not a big problem as the scenery is very pleasant and the location is friendly and quiet. The ski-lifts offers quick and easy links to Tignes le Lac and beyond.

The village has a small number of bars and restaurants but are all very friendly and good service. We would recommend the L’Armailly Restaurant, across the main road from the ski lifts, as we were in there most nights!

If you plan to self-cater most nights then I would recommend to stop at the large supermarket in Bourg st.Maurice (15 minutes drive from the apartment) as the local shop is very expensive.

Overall an excellent location which contributed to an excellent weeks holiday.

En famille avec trois enfants, nous avons passés un excellent séjour dans l'appartement de Ken. Son état est comme neuf, avec une cuisine très bien équipée et une très belle salle de bain. Les chambres sont jolies et la literie est confortable. Le wifi marche bien. Il manque peut-être quelques chaînes de télévision françaises. Le village est aussi super-agréable et on peut skier à tous les niveaux. Et Ken est aux petits soins!

Sassiere Chalet

ST A Crew St Albans, Herts
Review Submitted: February 25, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
The overall quality of the accommodation is excellent, and finished to an extremely high standard. For those looking for a luxury self-catering option this is an ideal choice. We were used to the typical french "one room" accommodation, so this place was fantastic, with two separate bedrooms and a luxury bathroom/shower room. The owners were really friendly and helpful, we felt very welcome. The location means a short walk up the hill from the ski lift, but its a good location for access to the village. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property to friends.

modern comfortable apartment

Review Submitted: February 13, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
Lovely new, nicely decorated, clean and well equipped apartment which was perfect for 2 couples sharing.

Good location in a small quiet village, 5 minutes walk from apartment to the local shop and a couple of restaurants and bars. 5/10 minute walk down a fair few steps to the chairlift and gondola or an easier/flatter 10/15 minute walk along the road. We had a car so it was easy to drive down in a few minutes and park in the free carpark right next to the ski lift/gondola.

Quick and easy to take gondola from the village up to the start of some runs that take you into the main area of Tignes Le Lac and onwards.

Owners were very friendly and helpful with additional advice/information especially when we managed to get stranded in Val D’Isere at the end of one day because we stupidly couldn’t find the right bus to get us back to Tignes in time to make the gondola or ski back to Brevieres. The owner very kindly saved the day by explaining by phone which bus to get back to Le Bois, the nearest village to Brevieres, then meeting us as we got off the bus at Le Bois and drove us back to the apartment. Well beyond the call of duty, thanks Ken!

Fantastic ski chalet

Tim123 Edinburgh
Review Submitted: January 18, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
Picture postcard village with a chalet to match. Very clean and well-maintained with all the necessary mod cons. Fantastic views of Les Brevieres from the veranda and a five minute walk to the nearest lifts. Les Brevieres nightlife was good. The property description was very accurate. The chalet owners Ken and Cynthia were great - very friendly and accomodating from the outset. Despite a couple of members of the group sustaining injuries during the week, our hosts went well beyond the call of duty to offer assistance. Without doubt, I would recommend this property to friends and family alike. An unforgettable ski holiday all round!
