Location
About the surrounding area of Chalet JosephineVal 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 that is surrounded by a number of small hamlets, including Le Cret; Le Chalet Josephine is located in the atmospheric, picturesque village of Tignes Les Brevieres. It is a wonderful village with 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. Chalet Air d’Asie sits alongside some other exclusive chalets on the sunny side of the valley, benefitting from direct afternoon sun. Tignes Les Brevieres offers an excellent selection of restaurants, with skiers staying in Val d’Isere skiing all the way over to enjoy the Savoyard favourites. You will enjoy fondues, raclettes and pirards, which are meats cooked on stone, mostly cooked by local families with a passion for their trade. The village enjoys a good 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 at 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 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.

Best Suited For: All AgesChalet Josephine is excellent for families. It is incredibly spacious and offers a whole host of treats. The children’s bedroom, which makes young ones feel as though they are entering a secret room, is adorable. There is an excellent, fun pool table in the living area, plus a children’s play area. Families can also enjoy access to a shared swimming pool with waterfalls just moments from the chalet.
Tignes Les Brevieres enjoys a wonderfully friendly village centre and some good facilities for children. The French ski school, ESF, look 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 is a good place to start looking as they 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.
