Chalet Arktic is one of the most popular ski chalets in Tignes, perched slightly above the resort the chalet benefits from having incredible views of the mountains over the lake to Val Claret, the balcony is a great spot to enjoy your afternoon tea. It is only a short walk, around 150 metres, to the slopes and the Chardonnet ski lift, so you can enjoy quick and easy access onto the Tignes-Val d'Isere Ski Area.

Home comforts

The chalet has a modern design and has all of the home comforts you'll need for a home away from home stay. All seven bedrooms are furnished to a high standard in a contemporary Savoyard style and have en-suite facilities. The open plan dining and living area features a fireplace so it's a great place to sit back and relax at the end of the day skiing. After a day of exploring the wonderful ski area, unwind and relax in the sauna or give your achy ski legs a break in the hot tub in the wellness area which has fabulous mountain views over Tignes.

Chalet catering

Chalet Arktic is on a chalet catering board basis. All meals are prepared for you by your designated chalet hosts who are on hand to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Each day you can look forward to a cooked breakfast, freshly made afternoon tea and a three course evening meal - you also have unlimited wine during dinner.

24 green, 65 blue, 40 red and 32 black runs

Tignes is famous for it's record amounts of snowfall, making it the best place for skiers and snowboarders to carve up the slopes. The area has three main villages: Val Claret, Le Lac and Le Lavachet, which are linked together by a 24 hour free bus service. Val Claret is 2,100 metres high and has a superb position right at the foot of the Grande Motte funicular. Le Lac and Le Lavachet have a more cosy village feel to them and also offer easy access to the slopes and over to Val d’Isère. The villages have a great selection of shops, bars and restaurants and have a lively, friendly, buzz about them. We also have accommodation in Tignes 1850 and Tignes Les Brevieres, which are quieter villages with easy access to the slopes.

Sustainable skiing is a key priority for Tignes, with the aim to become a 100% eco-responsible resort by 2023 - Tignes have been awarded their second Flocon Vert (Green Snowflake) recognising their continuous improvements in a transition to more sustainable tourism.

Skiing and snowboarding in Tignes

There's a great mix of slopes in Tignes, making it a great place for families and groups of different levels. There's plenty of wide and long runs, through trees and on glaciers. One of the best runs has to be from the top of Grand Motte glacier and down the red into Tignes Val Claret village.

We offer accommodation in all of the main villages in Tignes, with Le Lac and Val Claret being the most popular. From the majority of the hotels and apartments you can reach the slopes within a few minutes, making it extremely easy to get onto this world-renowned ski area.

Travel By Air

Flights to Chambery or Geneva from 13 UK airports

Transfer Times

Chambery airport: approx. 2 hours 15 mins by coach
Geneva airport: approx. 3 hours 15 mins by coach

For customers who are booking a Gatwick flight, we highly recommend that you choose the morning Chambery flight for Tignes due to the traffic light system in the Tarentaise Valley. This system controls and slows down the traffic, stopping traffic sitting in dangerous places, like tunnels, where rocks can fall and to make snow clearing easier when it is snowing. This can impact your transfer time, meaning you may arrive into resort later and leaving for the airport earlier.

Please note that transfers may be longer during peak holiday season or bad weather conditions.
