Chalet Cairn Tignes, France
Located on the lakeshore in Tignes Le Lac, Chalet Cairn is a catered and comfortable chalet on the lake shore. The owner is investing and updating the chalet for next season to make it even nicer with new showers for each bedroom plus an enlarged lounge with better views and additional seating. You also benefit from the wellness facilities included - there's a hot tub on the sun terrace and a cosmic sauna (a sauna with a viewing window) overlooking the lake and the mountain peaks beyond. Chalet Cairn is available to book exclusively as well as room by room.
The location is simply stunning with views across the lake to Val Claret and the Grand Motte glacier - at night you can even see the illuminated mountain face known as 'The Fingers', named after the narrow couloirs and ridges running down it. Chalet Cairn also offers you easy access to the Tignes and Val d'Isere ski area. It's just three minutes' walk to the slopes and Tovière gondola or Palafour chairlift in Tignes le Lac, and the free ski shuttle bus stops right outside the chalet on its way to Val Claret. There'll also be plenty of opportunity for you to explore the resort and its bars or restaurants as the resort centre is a two minute walk from the chalet or the slopes, perfect for après ski!
The owner takes great pride in the chalet and is constantly updating to keep it in a perfect condition for Inghams guests. All bedrooms in the property are decorated to a high quality and all feature en suite facilities; some also have a balcony. The newly extended living room and dining area are open plan, leading out to the sun terrace where you'll find the hot tub and sauna. You'll also find a heated ski and boot room as well as extra storage at the entrance of the chalet.
With Chalet Cairn, you'll benefit from our own chalet catering board basis and your chalet hosts are there to make your ski holiday as relaxed as possible. Your chalet host will prepare breakfast, afternoon tea and a four course dinner for you including a choice of wine, beer and soft drinks. Dinner service starts with an aperitif and nibbles which you can enjoy with friends or family in front of the lounge fireplace.
