This is a ground floor studio apartment, recently renovated to a high standard. Properties of this standard are not commonly found in French Ski Resorts. Although only a studio this property affords a comfortable living area to come back and relax in after a hard days skiing! Situated in the more tranquil Le Lavachet village of Tignes there are still plenty of amenities including a well stocked supermarket and boulangerie, as well as a good selection of bars and restaurants. More importantly there is easy access to the pistes, including one of the three free nursery slopes, and it's actually possible to put your ski's on directly outside the door to the apartment block! A regular and free shuttle bus also runs between Le Lavachet and the other two main villages of Tignes.

Skiing
Tignes is linked with Val D'Isere and together they form the ski area of L' Espace Killy. One of the largest in Europe it has over 300km of pistes for all abilities. Although often regarded as a resort for intermediate to advance skiers there are 3 free nursery slopes and many suitable greens and blues where beginners can improve their skills. The resort caters well for children and family's and has some great ski schools with good English speaking instructors. If you are looking for something a bit more challenging then Tignes can certainly deliver on that front too. With great off-piste skiing and a good freestyle park there are also other adventure activities such as ice diving under the lake and paragliging! It's also worth pointing out here that Tignes has one of the best snow records in Europe, you can ski or board all year round on it's glacier!
Travel
The nearest airport is Chambery which has recently started accepting more scheduled flights. Most people fly to either Lyon or Geneva where a transfer can take anywhere from 3 and a half hours to about 5 depending wither you drive or take a bus. Both these airports have direct bus services running from outside the terminal. Those wishing to drive should note that there is NO FREE parking in Tignes! All parking is underground. An alternative way to travel is to take the Snow Train to Bourg!
Distances
You can easily ski over to Val D' Isere and the nearset town of Bourg St Maurice is about 30 minutes by car!
