Location
About the surrounding area of Chalet GiselleThe charming ski resort of Tignes Les Boisses 1800 sits by the dam in Tignes and is very popular. Skiers have full access to the L’Espace Killy slopes and mountains and can quickly be in the main Tignes resort. In the summertime, a short bus journey or drive takes you to Tignes Lake or Tignes Val Claret. From there, you can whizz up the Grande Motte for some summer skiing on the glacier, or you can enjoy hiking or mountain biking.
Tignes itself 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. 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 also 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 not far away in the car, or you can ski across from Tignes. 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 a 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 AgesChildren adore Chalet Giselle. The children’s bedroom is great fun with a ball pond and adorable furniture. The swimming pool and the chalet’s location next to the nursery slope are wonderful too!
Tignes Les Boisses 1800 is great for children. The French ski school ESF has various clubs for children. Those aged six to twelve are in one group with skiing or snowboarding, competition courses and lots of fun. There is a separate club for little skiers aged three to five with fun activities, fun equipment, magic carpets and the characters of Piou Piou to help them flourish in the snow. The nursery slope is right next to the chalet.
The main Tignes resort is excellent for families, catering for 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 have 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.
