Nestled in the heart of Tignes Les Brevieres, the enchanting Chalet Ailes stands as a true testament to luxury and innovation. This self-catered haven invites you to embark on an extraordinary ski holiday experience like no other. The moment you step inside, you'll be captivated by the remarkable design and opulent features that define this remarkable chalet.
The legacy of its creator, Guerlain Chicherit, a four-time world free ski champion, is evident in every facet of Chalet Ailes. The very essence of Alpine charm intertwines seamlessly with cutting-edge design, resulting in an awe-inspiring space that caters to both adults and children in unparalleled ways.
Children are treated to an adventure all their own, with a dedicated bedroom adorned with playful themes and a captivating playroom fashioned from the fuselage of an aircraft. The chalet takes youthful imagination to new heights, ensuring a stay that's brimming with joy and excitement. Meanwhile, adults are pampered in a world of indulgence, where sleek wood and steel interiors echo the beauty of the surrounding mountains.
The chalet's interior tells a story of daring and creativity. A 1950s Nord Noratlas aircraft has found its place within these walls, its components masterfully integrated into furniture and decor that exudes both elegance and whimsy. From the table crafted from the plane's wheel and landing gear to the plush leather sofas adorned with faux fur cushions, every detail is a work of art.
Accommodation is nothing short of divine, with six generous bedroom suites that offer both space and comfort. Sumptuous beds are adorned with luxurious linens, offering a perfect respite after an exhilarating day on the slopes. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow for breathtaking mountain views, ensuring that each awakening is a serene and magical experience.
The chalet's wellness facilities are equally impressive, promising relaxation and rejuvenation. A sauna, steam room, hot tub, and fitness room await to soothe tired muscles and invigorate the senses. For those seeking a refreshing swim, a shared swimming pool offers the perfect aquatic escape.
Situated just fifty metres from the slopes of Tignes Les Brevieres, Chalet Ailes boasts an unbeatable location for skiing enthusiasts. The charming village and its array of shops, bars, and gourmet restaurants offer a delightful backdrop for your stay. With the enchanting village of Val d'Isere within reach, your options for exploration and adventure are limitless.
Chalet Ailes promises an exceptional ski holiday, marrying luxury with innovation in a way that is truly one-of-a-kind. Prepare to be swept away by its unique design, thoughtful amenities, and the enchanting beauty of the Alpine surroundings. This chalet isn't just a place to stay; it's an experience that will forever redefine your notion of holiday indulgence.
What you should know…
- While creative, the aircraft-themed decor may not be suitable for those with a fear of flying or sensitive to unconventional interior design.
- Note that the swimming pool is shared among select chalets, so availability might be subject to other guests' use.
- Engaging in snow-related activities like skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing entails inherent risks; guests should be mindful of their physical abilities and safety precautions.

Location
About the surrounding area of Chalet AilesChalet Ailes enjoys a fabulous location in the picturesque village of Tignes Les Brevieres. The chalet is just fifty metres from the nearest access point to the slopes. Tignes Les Brevieres enjoys easy access to the whole L’Espace Killy ski area. A gondola and lift take you from the village to just above Tignes Le Lac, from where you can ski to the main Tignes lifts and on to Val d’Isere. The village enjoys a wonderfully warm ambience with its traditional Savoyard centre, which is tucked in a sheltered position within the steep-sided Isere valley. Tignes Les Brevieres offers an excellent selection of restaurants serving Savoyard favourites, including fondues, raclettes and pirards, which are meats cooked on stone. They are mostly owned by local families with a passion for their trade. The village enjoys a delightful selection of lively bars for apres-ski, including La Moose and Dickie’s Bar.
Tignes is a fantastic ski resort that sits at a very high altitude. It is famous for its record snowfalls and is linked brilliantly with Val d’Isere as part of L’Espace Killy. It is one of the best European destinations for skiers and snowboarders to carve up the slopes. In Tignes, Val Claret sits 2100 metres high at the foot of the Grande Motte funicular. Le Lac and Le Lavachet enjoy more of a cosy village feel, and all three areas are linked by a free resort shuttle bus. The villages enjoy excellent shops, ski hire options, bars and restaurants. In total, L’Espace Killy enjoys over 300km of pistes, 150 shops, 115 bars and numerous ski schools, making it one of Europe’s premier ski resorts. According to ‘The Good Ski and Snowboarding Guide’, Tignes and Val d’Isere together are one of the only two ski areas in France listed as ‘snow-sure resorts’. Tignes is excellent for all levels of skiers and offers five free lifts for beginners.
L’Espace Killy is actually open eleven months of the year, thanks to the La Grande Motte Glacier. It backs onto the peaks of the Italian border, too. You can ski the glacier in the summer months. The funicular railway that takes skiers to the panoramic platform at 3030m takes just seven minutes. It is worth the ride just for the view! The Perce-Neige funicular took four years to construct and transports three thousand people per hour, travelling at twelve metres per second! The restaurant at the top is incredibly popular. There, you can take a cable car to a height of 3456m and take a thrilling ski down to Tignes Les Brevieres, have the services of a mountain guide to take you to the summit of the Grande Motte or just marvel at the glorious panorama of the surrounding mountains.
Tignes has come a very long way since the very first lift was installed in the old village of Tignes back in 1936. There are some wonderful activities available once the lifts are closed. Ice skating is popular, and so is the unusual activity of ice diving in Tignes Lake. Evolution 2 welcomes beginners to experienced ice divers, providing equipment, guidance and instruction to enjoy this unique experience. Le Lagon Sports Centre offers a 25-metre indoor swimming pool with six lanes, a leisure pool with a wave machine, water slides and jacuzzi-style massage beds. There is also a wellness area with hot tubs, saunas, a steam room and an ice bath.
Val d’Isere is within easy reach by car, or you can ski across from Tignes Les Brevieres. Val d’Isere is famous for its skiing, apres-ski scene, exclusive boutiques and fabulous restaurants. The resort offers gondolas with heated seats, Wi-Fi, a number of luxury spas, a wonderful leisure centre and fantastic nightlife. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, Val d’Isere sits on the border of the stunning Vanoise National Park. Val d’Isere enjoys an authentic alpine atmosphere, a gorgeous historic centre, endless chocolate-box chalets and fantastic bars and eateries. The centre of Val d’Isere is a bustling high street which is surrounded by a number of small hamlets, including Le Cret, Le Joseray, Le Chatelard, La Legettaz and Le Laisinant.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesIf children could list what they would wish for in a ski chalet, then Chalet Ailes probably offers all of it and a lot more. It is fun, quirky and absolutely stunning. The children’s bedroom sleeps four little ones and offers a lot more than the comfy mattresses on the floor. You might even find it hard to get them to get their ski outfits on in the mornings and leave this fabulous space! The chalet also comes with a football table.
Tignes Les Brevieres enjoys a wonderfully friendly village centre and some good facilities for children. The French ski school, ESF, looks after children from three years old with friendly tuition and a children’s garden in the heart of the resort. There is a kids club, a piou piou club and private tuition. You can also head over to the main Tignes resort, which is excellent for families, catering to all levels of skiers. There are some free lifts for beginners, and the resort boasts a brilliant record for its snowfalls. Some resorts end up slushy or green on the lower slopes, but you can usually bank on Tignes for having snow everywhere. There is a good selection of ski schools with supervised classes from the age of three or even two and a half. Les Marmottons have special ski nurseries with mini snow parks for kids aged from two and a half to eight years old at Le Lac and Val Claret. The French ski school ESF also has several piou piou snow gardens for children from three years old. New Generation offers excellent English-speaking classes for children.
When the ski lifts close, there are still many activities for children in Tignes. The resort boasts its new Lagon centre, which offers a 25-metre swimming pool, a play pool with a wave machine and a three-lane water slide. It is a fabulous attraction.
Tignes’ massive lake provides the perfect setting for a natural open-air ice rink. During the winter, the area near Le Lagon Leisure Centre hires skates so that visitors can glide around in the most spectacular of settings. The rink is open from 4 pm to 8 pm each day, and with a two to fifteen-day lift pass, you get free access to the ice rink. Another popular activity is mountain biking on the snow once the pistes are closed. You can hire bikes and safety gear and head up the gondola for a thrilling descent. At Tignes Le Lac, there is an indoor climbing wall that is fun and good to do on a bad weather day. There is also bowling at Tignes Le Lac and a cinema at Val Claret.
