Luxury Chalets & Apartments in Tignes
Leo Trippi has an extensive collection of luxury chalets in Tignes. However, when booking a luxury ski holiday in Tignes, it is important to take location into account.
Split into two main areas, Tignes le Lac is the main hub of the resort whilst Val Claret is 2 km further up the valley, beyond the lake. Providing stunning views, our Tignes le Lac chalets are conveniently located close to the slopes, providing ski-in/ski-out access for skiers keen to spend as much time on the slopes as possible.
Down the valley from the main villages are two more traditional satellite villages - Tignes les Boisses and Tignes les Brevieres. Both are well linked to the ski area with their own lifts but Tignes ski chalets located here are isolated from the central hub and have limited shops and restaurants, making catered ski chalets in Tignes a great option here.
Several of our Tignes les Brevieres chalets also have fantastic wellness facilities and hot tubs for easing those post-ski muscles.
