The chalet enjoys a wonderful location just fifty metres from the nearest access point to the slopes in Tignes Les Brevieres. This charming, authentic village boasts a charming array of shops, bars and gourmet restaurants. The restaurants are so good, many visitors staying in Val d’Isere ski across the L’Espace Killy to check them out. Tignes Les Brevieres is nestled at the base of the famous Tignes’ dam with a gondola and chairlift that takes you up the mountain to just above Tignes Le Lac. There you can ski to the main lifts of Tignes and on to Val d’Isere if you wish. Tignes and L’Espace Killy boasts a sensational, high altitude with the Grande Motte glacier as a backdrop. With record snowfalls, the area is a pretty safe bet for skiers.

Aside from skiing and snowboarding, visitors to Tignes enjoy an endless list of activites including ice diving, dog sledding, hang gliding, skidoo riding, ice climbing, parascending, ski-joring where you are pulled along by horses, skating, snowshoeing, indoor tennis and heliskiing.
