Val D’Isere is one of the most popular resorts in France and is actually a bit more lively than Tignes, but Tignes is cheaper to stay and the ski accommodation and ski chalets are unbelievable. We stayed in a new build, so new in fact that when we booked it there were no pictures on the website we booked through. They simply put an artists impression of the fully catered for, 5 star ski chalet and we just took a chance. There were 14 of us, sharing 7 rooms.

Once we arrived, we got breakfast, apres ski lunch and a 3 course meal every evening. The ski accommodation was the most luxury I have stayed in and was made complete with a Sauna and Steam Room perfect for unwinding after a hard day on the slopes. Most of the new luxury build ski chalets in Tignes Le Lac are ’ski to your door’ which takes the strain out of walking through the resort with ski boots and skis.

Tignes Le Lac offers great skiing and ski chalets
