The team were excellent, professional and really good. They were relaxed and made us feel welcome. There were 3x hosts, including Matt, who were all great. The food quality was really good and the variety was great. Previously when we’ve done chalet holidays they offer meat and two veg for most meals which... + more

Really good chalet. The staff were brilliant. The food was good. The photos on the website don’t actually make it look as good as it is, we were expecting the bedrooms to be dead simple but they’re really nice. The only thing was from the bedding I actually got scabies, which surprised me as it seems to be ... + more

I had an excellent holiday at the chalet Arktic. I would rate the chalet a 4.8 out of 5! It was a beautiful chalet, although I would have loved to have a window in the bedroom with some views. The architect has put in small, long windows, which are high up in the bedrooms (which didn’t suit everybody) and the ... + more

We had a very good week here, the chalet has nice facilities and the location wasn’t bad either in terms of skiing in and out (you’d have to be quite a good skier to make the most of it but we knew that before we booked). To get into town for the restaurants and shops was just a short walk. We enjoyed the foo... + more

The Arktic was amazing! Much better than we all expected. The hosts who did the cooking and cleaning were incredible, if it wasn’t for them it wouldn’t have been as good a holiday. It would have been useful to know that the wellness facilities are only open at a certain time, from 5-6 onwards. I wasn’t sk... + more

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.

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.

•Espace Killy ski area •Fantastic après ski •High altitude skiing

Tignes is somewhere you can ski longer, higher and further than most other resorts in the Alps. Owing its snow-reliability to the Grande Motte glacier, the local ski area is joined with Val d’Isere’s to form the mammoth Espace Killy - intermediates will have a whale of a time here. Choose between 5 different villages, whether your priority is convenience, cosiness or cheap accommodation. Tignes also has one of the most famous New Year parties in the Alps.

Tignes ski resort (pronounce it 'Teens') is one half of the stunning Espace Killy, one of the biggest linked ski areas in France. Because of its high-altitude terrain and access to the Grande Motte glacier, the resort is open both earlier and later in the season than many others and often the lifts are running for short periods of summer skiing. Predominantly purpose built, the resort itself is divided into 5 villages, each different in its own way but all well linked by lifts and bus services. The main area...
With varied pistes at a high altitude, the ski area has impressive powdered terrain for skiers and boarders alike. Beginners can practice on the nursery slopes at Le Lac and Le Lavachet, where you'll find gentle, quiet runs that are accessible via free beginners' lifts. Le Bollin at Val Claret is another conveniently situated green and Grattalu is a lovely wide blue for those wanting to build confidence. Tignes is incredible if you ski at an intermediate level, with miles of powdery blue and red runs includi...
While it's said that those who appreciate Tignes do so for the serious skiing over the après ski, this doesn't do justice to the fact that Tignes' 60+ bars/pubs and 4 night clubs provide some of the best nightlife in the Alps. All villages have their fair share of places to eat and drink, and with a shuttle bus service running 24 hours, you can enjoy your evening without worrying about the journey back. Jam bar is small but with a great atmosphere and Loop bar pretty much offers it all: with live sport, world c...

"It was brilliant, really really good! "

Mariam
5/ out of 5
The team were excellent, professional and really good. They were relaxed and made us feel welcome. There were 3x hosts, including Matt, who were all great. The food quality was really good and the variety was great. Previously when we’ve done chalet holidays they offer meat and two veg for most meals which is quite heavy, but this chalet offered much better options which felt a bit “lighter” but still very filling – we really enjoyed the Thai soup. There is a blue slope close by that you can ski down, but not ski in/ski out. In terms of location it was fine for restaurants and bars, but ideally would prefer to be closer to the lifts. It’s probably about a 5min walk to the lifts from the chalet.

"Better than it looks in the photos"

Nicki, London

Really good chalet. The staff were brilliant. The food was good. The photos on the website don’t actually make it look as good as it is, we were expecting the bedrooms to be dead simple but they’re really nice. The only thing was from the bedding I actually got scabies, which surprised me as it seems to be a pretty clean place. My friend sleeping in a different bed didn’t get it, and other people in the chalet didn’t. There were problems with other people who’d been put in the small room. The official description of the room isn’t the greatest. It caused problems for us when we were there as someone had to sleep in the TV room so we couldn’t use it. Otherwise, it was awesome and the spa and everything else was lovely. Location is brilliant, it was a bit of a walk as we went to the main lift rather than the closest one, but it was fine.

"4.8/5!"

Mr Campbell, Edinburgh
4/ out of 5
I had an excellent holiday at the chalet Arktic. I would rate the chalet a 4.8 out of 5! It was a beautiful chalet, although I would have loved to have a window in the bedroom with some views. The architect has put in small, long windows, which are high up in the bedrooms (which didn’t suit everybody) and the effect was great, especially when it snowed (you have to see it to fully understand). The chalet staff were fantastic and the food was excellent. I would say the location is good… Not great, but good. It was a little trek to get to the nearest lifts.

"Very good staff, food & facilities"

Tom Hawthorne, Nottingham
4/ out of 5
We had a very good week here, the chalet has nice facilities and the location wasn’t bad either in terms of skiing in and out (you’d have to be quite a good skier to make the most of it but we knew that before we booked). To get into town for the restaurants and shops was just a short walk. We enjoyed the food which wasn’t just local French food, but featured a bit of everything. Our chalet staff did a very good job.

"Great group trip to Chalet Arktic"

Donya Fitzsimmons, Southampton
5/ out of 5
The Arktic was amazing! Much better than we all expected. The hosts who did the cooking and cleaning were incredible, if it wasn’t for them it wouldn’t have been as good a holiday. It would have been useful to know that the wellness facilities are only open at a certain time, from 5-6 onwards. I wasn’t skiing as I was pregnant and another girl injured herself and it would have been nice for us to enjoy the facilities while everyone else was skiing. When we could use it, the spa was perfect, can’t fault it. The social area was brilliant – the Arktic has a really big, very open plan living-kitchen-dining area which meant we could really get to know the hosts. We got on so well that we ended up asking them to join us for dinner on the last day, so they’d cook a course then pause to eat with us which was really nice. The food was much better than I’ve ever had in a 5* hotel, considering how young they were, they were really good at cooking and put us to shame! They started off with canapés half an hour before dinner, all handmade from scratch rather than just chucked in an oven and a different thing every day. Starters were soups followed by a different main every night: we had duck, beef, pork, fish (and they knew a few people didn’t like fish, so offered chicken as an alternative). Puddings were lovely and there was always more than enough wine for everyone – we never had to ask for more. For the guys who wanted to ski, the location was close enough that they could take a route that finished right behind the chalet, so they only had to walk about 15-25m back to the chalet. It was also a lot closer to the main area than I’d thought. The bedrooms were a bit of a nuisance for all of us. Most were perfect and everyone was happy but there was a double room that shared a bathroom with another bunk room that had no windows or ventilation. It was more of a ‘family room’ arrangement (though it wasn’t described as this) so wasn’t ideal for 2 couples. Also the chalet was really hot and while the rest of us could open our windows, the two in the bunk room couldn’t. In the end we all ended up chipping in 20 euros each for them to have a different room. We were a group of 18 and a lot who stayed with us usually do self-catered ski holidays. They reckoned that staying at the Arktic worked out a lot cheaper and said they’d stay here again.

"The top chalet on "normal" budgets"

Jimmy, Sno Staff
5/ out of 5
This is one of the nicest chalets that's bookable on the "realistic budget" of a regular skier or snowboarder. We love the incredible views and the hot tub caps it all off. The property gets good feedback for the levels of hosting. The quality of the food and wine and position within Tignes add up to a great package. I like to say to clients that it's worth noting the star ratings are approximations and do differ from supplier to supplier - I don't think for instance that this is in quite the same league as a five star from one of the "expensive" operators, but that's why it’s so much better value than those posher 5 star catered chalets, which are well over £2k per person for a week's holiday. Among the huge selection of "normal priced” ski holidays, this is one of the best catered chalets at the top end of the quality scale. If you've been on a few ski holidays and you fancy treating yourself this winter, without leaping to the prices of the really fancy boutique chalets (that are 3 or 4 times the price), this is a really nice option.
