Located on the lakeshore in Tignes Le Lac, Chalet Cairn is a comfortable chalet that is fully catered by our hosts. You benefit from the wellness facilities including 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 for a group 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 a three-minute walk to the slopes, the Tovière gondola and 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 just a two-minute walk from the chalet, perfect for après ski!
The owner takes great pride in the chalet and is constantly updating to keep it in a perfect condition for guests. All bedrooms in the property are decorated to a high quality and all feature en-suite facilities. The living room and dining area is open plan, leading out to the sun terrace where you'll find the hot tub and cosmic sauna.
