Very good Chalet, we rented the house during the winter and due to the recent snowfall we were able to ski from the house to the ski lift (and even from the piste to the house, though this requires a fairly substantial descend off-piste). The owners were responsive in their communication and were able to offer us a discount on our skipasses. Overall we had a very nice stay!
Every now and then you get lucky and find an amazing home-from-home rental accommodation. Trust me, this is one of those 5* gems! Where do I start?
Clearly Marc & Patricia have put an enormous amount of thought and effort into making this chalet a home with everything you could possibly want. I believe this chalet was recently renovated during 2021 and so everything feels new.
The kitchen is truly well equipped…plenty of large and small plates, bowls, cutlery, glasses (both wine glasses and flutes, tumblers and pint glasses), mugs, cups, cooking utensils, pots and pans, to cater for ‘WELL OVER’ 12 people (we were 8, so plenty to spare). There is a dishwasher and also both a Fondue and Raclette set for those adventurous cooks, oh….and a sandwich toaster. Also provided is a Nespresso machine…we took our coffee pods but I believe you can buy pods in Tignes Le Lac if you forget to take your own. Our favourite kitchen device however was the table top ice maker…. perfect for that G&T after a hard day on the slopes!
The chalet has 4 large bedrooms all with en-suite with plenty of storage space. The beds were very comfortable. Three of the bedrooms have additional beds - two of those bedrooms having slightly smaller mattresses large enough for say a 13/14 year old depending on their height.
The lounge has plenty of comfortable seating and a huge dining table overlooking the enormous outside terrace and the beautiful views across the lake to Val Claret and the mountain beyond. The lounge has an open fire and plenty of wood to burn is supplied. The lounge also has a Bluetooth speaker to connect your own devices to (we hard wired our mobile phones as we couldn’t figure out the Bluetooth connection after a few glasses of wine!! Likely it was the wine which affected our senses than the speaker itself, so I’m sure anyone that’s tech savvy would be able to figure it out and if not, Marc is always available to help!). The lounge is also equipped with a smart TV and DVD and also has the ability to connect up a laptop.
The outside terrace is huge and we were lucky enough to bask in glorious sunshine for 4 days out of the 6 when we returned from the slopes. There is an outside BBQ (gas I think) and Wood Burner that unfortunately we didn’t get to try, but great as an option should you wish to use them.
There is plenty of WIFI throughout the chalet and not once did anyone moan about poor connectivity….not even when all 8 of us were on our devices!!
The chalet has it’s own private cinema room and sauna (for use solely by the occupants of this chalet…i.e. not shared with anyone) – additional towels are provided for the sauna. The cinema room has great surround-sound and you can connect to pretty much anything…Apple TV, Netflix, Prime, Disney, your own laptop and there are plenty of DVDs to choose from in the chalet should you not want to bring your own.
The chalet has its own private (not shared) boot warmer and ski rack, enough for at least 12 sets, conveniently positioned inside the chalet by the front door.
The owners Marc and Patricia are extremely welcoming and friendly. They are very close by should you need anything. Should you arrive in Tignes early before check-in or leave Tignes later after check-out, they will try and be as flexible as possible but if it’s not possible you can safely store your luggage in Marc and Patricia’s locked garage and head into town.
The walk into town where the ski schools meet takes no more than 5 minutes. Here you’ll also find a great supermarket with plenty of choice as well as plenty of restaurants nearby (I suggest you book 3-4 days in advance in peak season).
Thank you again Marc and Patricia!!!! Hopefully we’ll be back!!!
Excellent chalet for a large group of people. Some areas are a bit tired but in the main the chalet is very comfortable with good facilities and lovely views.
Not five star comfort but this is a good value, good house. 11 of us spent a very happy week there. The beds were comfortable and the house was warm and cosy. Everything worked. TA bonus was the free supply of firewood for the excellent wood burning fire in the living room.
The owner is not always the quickest at replying to e-mail and we used English/French Google Translate as an aid to communication but overall Olivier is OK to deal with.
We would be very happy to stay there again.
A lovely chalet in a great location. Ski-in and ski-out, but not for complete beginners.
The chalet is very well furnished and equipped, particularly the kitchen.
Communication with the owner was good too, which can be useful.
Well priced, would thoroughly recommend this chalet for a group.
Charming chalet, ideal for 2 families. Very good equipped. Exceptional views. Right in front of the ski slopes which allows skiing from and to the chalet. Enough space to store / dry the ski equipment. Just keep in mind 300 meters that you have to carry luggage, food stuff etc. from parking to the chalet in winter times. Anyway: We´ll be back soon!
Very convenient cozy appartment suitable for a family with children (or without, as it was quite comfortable for 4 adults as well :).
Although it might take a little walk to a chair-lift, the return from slopes can be made on ski to the very entrance.
Don't forget linen with you, otherwise it can be rented at a Sports-shop nearby, which is not a problem, (towels are sold at "Sherpa").
Kitchen appliances are fine and enough for a comfortable stay.
There was no Wi-Fi available (if it was, we would happily pay for it), but in general, the appartment is great value for money.
We rented the largest apartment in the building in July. The apartment was of high standard and well equipped. The building was placed in a nice setting, and there is a walking distance to all you need. Stunning surroundings. The owner provided good service and was accessible and service-minded throughout our stay. We enjoyed our stay, and would like visit onother year!
Perfect...Great apartment, great view, great terrace...Plenty of space, and cosy luxurious interiors that provide the perfect atmosphere for relaxation. We will be back next year.
A superb Chalet for any season, we had seven young kids with us and they loved it. Franck the owner is friendly courteous and helpful and we would all like to say thanks to him for making our stay so pleassant. There is so much skiing in easy reach and even late in the season most slopes were open. Flaine whilst not pretty is contained, safe and great for young children.
The Chalet was in great condition having been only recently renovated, with everything you could wish for. Go there!
spacious apartment, well decorated, extremely well equipped in the kitchen. We also appreciated its location, just a stone's throw from the eggs and shops. Very good communication with the owner.
appartement spacieux, bien décoré, extremement bien équipé au niveau de la cuisine. Nous avons apprécié aussi sa localisation à 2 pas du départ des oeufs et des commerces. Très bonne communication avec le propriétaire.
We had a very good one-week stay in Termignon where we were very well received in Valérie and Michel's rental! To recommend without hesitation !
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour d'une semaine à Termignon où nous avons été très bien reçus dans la location de Valérie et Michel ! A recommander sans hésitation !
The kitchen is relatively small for accommodation designed for 12 people. The chalet is not really close to the ski lifts which take you to the Arrondaz plateau (departure from the ski schools and the Piou Piou club). When there are young children with the shoes and equipment it is a bit complicated. We discovered at the end of the stay that there was a free locker in the village to drop off equipment at the end of the day. It might be interesting to point this out in the advert, it can be very useful when there are children. The return to the chalet will be made easier.
La cuisine est relativement petite pour un logement prévu pour 12 personnes. Le chalet n'est pas vraiment proche des remontées mécaniques qui permettent de monter au plateau d'Arrondaz (départ des écoles de ski et du club Piou Piou). Quand il y a de jeunes enfants avec les chaussures et le matériel cela est un peu compliqué. Nous avons découvert à la fin du séjour qu'il y avait dans le village une consigne gratuite pour déposer le matériel en fin de journée. Il serait peut-être intéressant de le signaler dans l'annonce, cela peut être très utile quand il y a des enfants. La remontée vers le chalet en sera facilitée..
Very good value for money. Top-notch household equipment. Good chalet location with nice view of the valley. Bus shuttles nearby Very good stay
Très bon rapport qualité prix. Équipements ménagers au top.
Bon emplacement chalet avec chouette vue sur la vallée.
Navettes bus à proximité
Très bon séjour
Really everything is great!! Just the stone appliances which for some are too old to work or lack of sockets in the living room which cuts out the electricity but given the number of extension cords available we got by!
Great welcome from Cindy! See you soon
Vraiment tout super !! Juste les appareils à pierrade qui pour certains sont trop vieux pour fonctionner ou manque de prises dans le salon ce qui fait sauter l'électricité mais au vue du nombre de rallonges à disposition nous nous en sommes sorti !
Super accueil de Cindy !
A très vite
Chalet larger than the photos suggest. Lots of beds but it is difficult to go upstairs. You have to be pretty alert. The living room and living room allow us to eat for around ten people. As for access to the Grand Domaine, it's a bit long. You have to go to the eggs by car. We arrive at Morillon 1100 and there is a queue to go up to 1800. The chalet is very pleasant to live in, very cute, in its original style and very warm. Space for rental in the mountains feels good!!
Chalet plus grand que ne laissent supposer les photos. Bcp de couchages mais il est difficile de monter à l'étage. Il faut être plutôt alerte. Le salon et le séjour nous permettent de manger à une dizaine de personnes. En ce qui concerne l'accès au Grand Domaine c'est un peu long. Il faut aller aux oeufs en voiture. On arrive à Morillon 1100 et là il y a la queue pour monter à 1800. Le chalet est très agréable à vivre, tout mignon, dans son jus et très chaleureux. De l'espace pour une location à la montagne, ça fait du bien !!
Spacious and very quiet accommodation, although lacking a little sunshine due to its orientation. Shops in Les Arcs 1600 easily accessible thanks to the nearby funicular.
Logement spacieux et très calme, manquant toutefois un peu d'ensoleillement en raison de son orientation. Commerces aux Arcs 1600 facilement accessibles grâce au funiculaire tout proche.
