9 bedroom chalet in Tignes. Sleeps 19
Currently undergoing a complete transformation, Chalet Chardonnet is set to become one of the most exciting luxury catered chalets in Tignes. Once finished, the chalet will combine striking contemporary design with an exceptional lakeside setting in the heart of Tignes Le Lac. The images available at present are CGI renders, offering a preview of the style, layout and high-quality finish guests can expect when the renovation is complete.
Occupying a truly rare position directly by the frozen lake, the chalet will enjoy uninterrupted views across the water towards Val Claret and the surrounding peaks. Chalet Chardonnet will sleep up to nineteen guests, with fifteen accommodated in the main chalet across seven en-suite bedrooms. Just outside, two distinctive self-contained bivouac pods will sleep up to four additional guests. Each pod will feature its own bathroom, log fire and expansive windows, creating a unique alpine experience with spectacular scenery.
Designed with sociable group stays in mind, the chalet will offer generous living and dining spaces alongside a dedicated cinema and games room, perfect for relaxed evenings together. A private indoor spa with jacuzzi and sauna will provide a welcome retreat after a day on the slopes. The chalet will be fully catered, with a private chef and professional hosts delivering a seamless, high-end experience throughout your stay.
At 2100 metres, the location ensures excellent snow conditions and quick access to the lifts and extensive ski area, all within easy walking distance. Chalet Chardonnet will operate on a sole-occupancy basis, guaranteeing complete privacy for your group in a spacious and beautifully designed mountain setting.
For catering, expect generous, freshly prepared meals each day, cooked by your dedicated chalet team. Menus are indulgent and comforting - think homemade cakes by the fire, well-paired wines, and hearty dinners designed to satisfy after a day on the mountain. It’s food made to be enjoyed, with all the warmth and flavour you'd hope for on a ski holiday.
