Fantastic, the staff were lovely! The cakes, canapés and food were some of the best parts of the holiday, and the whole week was just perfect, we couldn’t have really wanted anything more. You can literally ski in, it’s pretty much 2 minutes to the slopes. Our room was small but that’s understandable, the v... + more

The ski lodge worked well as we were a big group of 3 families. There was one other big group and a couple of families and it was all really sociable. The people running the chalet did a good job (especially considering it was the first week of the season) and the food was generally nice. The bedrooms were a b... + more

The Aigle Ski Lodge was perfectly adequate but to be brutally honest it wasn’t quite the standard I was expecting. It’s billed as a 4.5 stars– had it been billed as a 3 star it would have been perfectly acceptable as I’d have arrived with different expectations. I prefer a 4-5* standard and would have happi... + more

Stayed here in Feb with 3 mates. The swimming pool and sauna were really nice and staff were really helpful.

The piste used to be next door but now there is construction going on (only actually building during the summer), with new accommodation going up only to be ready by next season (winter of 2014/2015). You are still within 50m of the piste so I'd still class it as practically doorstep skiing. The inside of the A... + more

Overview: chalet description: (Ski Lodge) Aigle description

The Aigle has proven to be exceptionally popular with guests since it was first introduced a few years ago and early booking is essential. Built in a modern Savoyard style with a wood/stone exterior and tastefully decorated throughout, it has a spacious dining area, sunny terrace (complete with deckchairs!) and a great bar to relax in after a day exploring the vast Espace Killy ski area. The Aigle offers a very high standard of facilities including modern en suite rooms, most with balconies, satellite TV in the lounge, a lift and an indoor swimming pool and a sauna, all for exclusive use by guests. Relax at the bar, swim in the pool or sweat it out in the sauna; this Ski Lodge has all the benefits of a larger hotel, but with just 21 bedrooms, still remains small and intimate enough to feel both welcoming and relaxed. This property is a Ski Lodge, so you can enjoy all the comforts of a chalet holiday, with many great facilities you would only normally find in a hotel.

•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...

"A really lovely week."

Deborah, Surrey
5/ out of 5
Fantastic, the staff were lovely! The cakes, canapés and food were some of the best parts of the holiday, and the whole week was just perfect, we couldn’t have really wanted anything more. You can literally ski in, it’s pretty much 2 minutes to the slopes. Our room was small but that’s understandable, the view was lovely. I would have liked clean towels twice rather than once in the week, but that’s the only thing. It was a really fun week overall!

"First snow holiday"

The hotel was lovely and beds most comfortable we were a mixed family group of a 11 year old boy his ageing grandmother and two nieces in their early twenties we had two double rooms one with shared balcony but both were clean comfortable shower was great after a day's skiing. The swimming pool and sauna were also very nice and relaxed tired muscles. The food was delicious and having 3 fussy eaters I was a little concerned that they would not be appreciative.. 4 courses at dinner and the fresh baked cake and coffee in the afternoon were delicious The scenery was breathtaking staff were friendly and attentive. Always available to answer queries or give tips on best places to lunch etc.. All and all we had a very enjoyable stay 1 week. The only thing I would have changed are the lounge chairs they were not the most comfortable seats. My family and I would definitely stay there again

The ski lodge worked well as we were a big group of 3 families. There was one other big group and a couple of families and it was all really sociable. The people running the chalet did a good job (especially considering it was the first week of the season) and the food was generally nice. The bedrooms were a bit tight but that’s made quite clear on the website and when you’ve been skiing all day you just want to crash anyway. The sitting area had just about enough room, though some people pointed out that the chairs were quite big and took up a lot of space. Some people ended up sitting around the dining room table which wasn’t really a problem. The snow wasn’t low enough for us to be able to ski from/to the door but walking into town was doable.

"Not quite what I expected, but perfectly adequate"

The Aigle Ski Lodge was perfectly adequate but to be brutally honest it wasn’t quite the standard I was expecting. It’s billed as a 4.5 stars– had it been billed as a 3 star it would have been perfectly acceptable as I’d have arrived with different expectations. I prefer a 4-5* standard and would have happily paid more to have a better environment, but as it was we did get a fantastic deal. It’s worth mentioning that this is a ski lodge rather than a chalet. I’ve stayed in ski hotels before and the reason I chose a chalet this season is that chalets are cosier and more intimate. The way the seating in the Aigle was organised in the dining and social areas wasn’t very cosy or chalet-like: the dining area was big with rectangular tables laid out in a horse shoe and it was in the same room as the seating area for socialising, which was made up of tub chairs (more like a hotel/doctors waiting area than somewhere everyone could relax together). Separate rooms would have felt a bit cosier. Overall the meals were fine - not stunning but good. We had a Christmas banquet and the staff were certainly very accommodating on the one evening that fish was the main meal; my son and I don’t eat fish and when we explained this to the chef, he made us a different option which we appreciated. It was a bit of a trek down onto the main slopes because although the snow was good on most pistes, the one closest to us wasn’t open. In better snow, the location would be good.

"Cool facilities, super food"

Stayed here in Feb with 3 mates. The swimming pool and sauna were really nice and staff were really helpful. I was surprised how good the food was, we got a choice of 2 starters and main courses and I was really impressed. This is one of my favourite resorts I like the fact theres a lot in Tignes. The ski area has lots of off piste and a very good park. I’d say it’s good for groups, we went out most nights, went to Loop quite a lot and Marmots and Alpaca.

"Would go back; above average 4star"

The piste used to be next door but now there is construction going on (only actually building during the summer), with new accommodation going up only to be ready by next season (winter of 2014/2015). You are still within 50m of the piste so I'd still class it as practically doorstep skiing. The inside of the Aigle is comfortable and the rooms are light and airy, nothing fancy but quite a high standard. My favourite parts: The views are amazing and there was fab under floor heating which is so great in socks are a day in hard ski boots. There is a cool bar in the entrance and a pool downstairs. A place I would stay again.
