Neilson Chalet Val Claret (Val Claret)

The Val Claret is nestled in a peaceful spot near the lake in Tignes and within easy walking distance of Val Claret's lifts and nightlife. If you're a small group or a couple of families who don’t want to be in the centre of resort but still have easy access to it, this is the chalet fror you.

It's an apartment-style chalet which has recently been fully renovated to a good standard to provide a slice of modern style amongst plenty of traditional features. There's lots of wooden furnishings along with two new shower rooms and good sized lounge area.

Nearest lift: 800m (Tichots and Tufs lifts)

Resort centre: 700m (Tignes Val Claret)

Tignes is one of the most snowsure resorts in Europe. It's 2100m up in the high Tarantaise area of the French Alps where the skiing tops out at a breathless 3456m. It also happens to have some of the most exciting and challenging terrain in the world.

The resort is split into two villages; Le Lac nestles on the shores of a frozen lake with beautiful views of Toviére mountain and the Grande Motte glacier. It's an ideal springboard into the massive Tignes - Val d'Isère ski area and has a good après-ski scene too. Val Claret sits around the other side of the lake at the bottom of the Grande Motte glacier and is the livelier of the two resorts.

Our chalet board basis is designed for skiers and boarders. Start every morning with an extensive continental breakfast, and cooked options on most days. Your daily afternoon tea of freshly baked cakes and biscuits will be waiting for you when you come in from the slopes.

Evening meals are a three-course set-menu with regionally inspired dishes and free-flowing wine throughout the week, all followed by fresh coffee. We provide evening meals on six nights a week leaving you free to head out and explore the resort on one evening.

The four bedrooms here have a good amount of space and storage for all of your luggage. Three of the rooms are doubles (one with an ensuite bath with overhead shower and sink) while the fourth is a bunk room. Bathroom facilities are shared between two shower rooms and two toilets. You'll also find luxurious Temple Spa toiletries in each bathroom.

Don’t forget that you get free guiding and coaching throughout the week from fully qualified ski and board instructors with our Mountain Expert service.

Designed for confident blue and red-run skiers and snowboarders, they'll show you around the mountain on free guiding sessions, and even offer free coaching sessions to help you become a more confident skier or snowboarder.

There are at least three sessions a week and we guarantee each guest at least two sessions a week. Your hosts will explain how it works when you get there.
