Le Refuge Hotel, Tignes Le Lac

A perfect spot for an apres ski drink by the large roaring open log fire on one of their comfortable sofas or large squishy army chairs. There are a selection of wines, beers and spirits available as well as tea, coffee and soft drinks.

The rustic restaurant has a simple homely Savoyard interior and offers a good selection of straight forward local food. Both bed and breakfast as well as half board packages are available from the hotel.

• "The hotel had everything you need in a ski hotel. Very comfortable, quiet and convenient. Breakfasts were extensive with so many options. Fresh bread, fresh fruit, granola, 3 types of cereal, milk, yoghurts, pastries, cheese, deli meat, boiled eggs and fresh coffee, espresso and teas. Breakfasts served on the 4th floor in a very cozy and unique room. Really nice towels, bathrobes and slippers provided for each guest. The location is the BEST in Le Lac. Literally a 2 minute walk from the main lifts. Soooo convenient!" - Trip Advisor
• "Wonderful welcome on arrival and escorted to our room. Cozy compact room. We enjoyed the bath. View out the back down the valley, but pleasant enough. Super meal in attached restaurant L'Escale Blanche - huge portions. Pleasant undisturbed night. Excellent breakfast in 5th (top) floor large room with view over Tignes. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout - looked after our baggage while we skied and even offered shower when we came back before we left. Will definitely go back.​" ​- Trip Advisor
• "This was our third summer trip to Tignes Le Lac staying at "Le Refuge" and each visit has been lovely, since our last visit in 2012 the hotel has undergone significant refurbishment which has improved what were already excellent facilities. The hotel is well appointed with very helpful staff and centrally located in Tigne Le Lac for restaurants, (some really very good serving a good selection of local specialities, with lots of atmosphere, even in summer), lifts (free in summer to hotel residents) and the plentiful supply of leisure activities. A lovely centre for high altitude circular walks, with the lifts providing an excellent way of gaining altitude fro an easier start to the day. Thoroughly recommended." - Trip Advisor
• "We arrived really late (at 2am) and the reception staff had waited up for us and advised us on where we should park our car. We were really surprised at how nice the rooms were as it was good value for money. Breakfast was excellent and we had a balcony looking right out onto the main square. We had robes in the room and our rooms were made daily. We often had a beer in the bar upstairs which had great views. We were very sad to leave this hotel and will hopefully be back!" -  Trip Advisor
