Chalet Tourelle is our quirkiest ski chalet, with a brightly coloured interior and bedrooms themed around music memorabilia, situated on the lakeside in Tignes le Lac and offering quick and easy access to the slopes. Located on the edge of the lake in Tignes Le Lac, Chalet Tourelle offers some of the most spectacular views in Tignes, overlooking Val Claret, the Grande Motte and Toviere. The Tourelle has a ‘quirky character’ with bright colours and bedrooms themed around different rock bands, with music memorabilia throughout the chalet. Although the bedrooms and bathrooms, a little dated, are smaller than the average, the service and standards you will receive are the same as across all our chalets, some of the most highly rated in Tignes and Val d’Isère. Chalet Tourelle is perfectly situated for the principal central Tignes ski lifts, which are just a 3 minute flat walk away and provide easy access to the huge variety of slopes surrounding the lake and the rest of the vast Espace Killy ski area. Ski home at the end of the day on blues, blacks, reds or unlisted natures – arriving almost at the Chalet’s front door! Additionally, free buses in either direction are just a few metres away from the Chalet, giving you opportunity to explore even further. Dinner, three courses with a choice of desert or a cheeseboard, and hot breakfast with a choice of three items, is served on six days of the week, prepared by a private chalet chef. A continental breakfast is provided on the seventh day. Afternoon tea, with freshly baked cakes and biscuits, is served every afternoon. Find out more about our food and drink here. After a hard day’s skiing, enjoy your afternoon tea in the lounge area or, in March and April, on a deck chair on the sun terrace. Alternatively, relax in the chalet bar, which is for the exclusive use of chalet guests, except in early and late season and offers a great selection of beers, wines, spirits and hot drinks from après-ski until late evening. All the bedrooms have flat screen TVs with English Freeview and there is free WiFi throughout the chalet. Please note that the bar is closed on Thursdays. With our local knowledge of Tignes and Val d’Isère, we can offer you the best advice when it comes to planning the rest of your trip.

Chalet Tourelle
Tell us roughly when you want to go and who is coming, and we will price it with the operators for you.
No obligation. One of the team will come back to you the same day where we can.
The first question when organizing a skiing trip for more than one person is always what level of skier a resort caters to. It will come as a relief to know that Tignes' slopes offer a range of runs suitable for all skill levels, from nursery slopes up to those chosen for the 1992 Winter Olympics. There is also the world-renowned snowpark and superpipe for those who are even more adventurous.
It's customary in the Espace Killy for the lifts servicing the nursery slopes to operate free of charge, which makes beginners' skiing in Tignes unusually welcoming for the Alps. For the most part, it's recommended that beginners don't buy lift passes for the first three days of their holiday when they feel ready to take on trickier runs, as the saving this offers is considerable.
Blue and red runs are strongly represented in Tignes, with more than enough to provide several weeks' variety – there's no need to repeat the same runs unless you enjoyed them enough to choose to. Of particular note, however, the run from the top into central Val Claret is astonishing, and the view from atop the Grande Motte glacier is well worth the effort involved in getting there.
The more difficult end of the reds and Tignes' famous black runs guarantee that while the relative novices in your group are getting to grips with the piste in earnest, any advanced skier will find an engaging challenge of their own. The famous, long Sache run from Tignes 2100 to Les Brévières and the difficult, thrilling schuss of Trolles, both stand out as experiences not to be missed for a skier worth his salt.
The snow park and halfpipe in Tignes used to play host to the European X Games, meaning that whether you'd rather just enjoy a run through the beautiful powder or you're more at home jibbing to your heart's content, Tignes is an incredible experience for any snowboarder, from beginners to the very best. Elsewhere in the Espace Killy, Val d'Isere boasts another snow park of almost the same quality.
If you'd rather experience cruising runs than the controlled intensity of a snow park, Tignes le Lac, in particular, holds a snowboard run called Le Palafore that's become a favourite of travellers worldwide, whatever their experience level.
The amazing snow record Tignes' altitude ensures means that the off-piste is phenomenal, with spectacular powder throughout the season, including the renowned if the dangerous challenge of skiing the fingers, a series of challenging couloirs. But while not everyone is willing to take that risk, the lower reaches of the Grande Motte are excellent, and le Spot is that incredible rarity, a cultivated and controlled off-piste area atop Val Claret.
The famous La Folie Douce in Val d'Isere always grabs the headlines when it comes to Espace Killy apres ski locations, and it is easy to stop at La Folie Douce for a spot of apres-ski and still get back to Tignes on the last lift. However, Tignes is well supplied, with Val Claret's Couloir Bar and the Loop in Tignes le Lac being two of the best known and best regarded.
Night clubs are equally well represented here, with Tignes 2100's Jack's Club being one of the standouts. Val Claret, of course, has a unique vibe and the Melting Pot has established a name of its own.
Whatever you're in the mood for, between Tignes and Val d'Isere you're guaranteed some access to it. It's as easy to unwind here as it is to find a run to suit you.
As a purpose-built resort, Tignes lacks some of the odder pastimes of Val d'Isere – though the aerofoil trips offered there are just as easy for Tignes visitors to embark on – but with quad bikes, buggies, helicopter flights, and the like it's easy for an active holidaymaker to have a blast without once strapping on skis or board.
In the winter, when the lake’s frozen, ice-driving, husky sledding, and even horse riding are on the menu. If you’d rather not go to that kind of effort, however – and it would be hard to blame you – there’s always the resort’s luxurious health spa and swimming pool. Access to the swimming pool is free with your lift pass but there is a charge for the spa facilities. Why not treat yourself?
You're going to the French Alps; a little luxury never hurt anyone.
