#### Location
Chalet Vol enjoys a fabulous location in the picturesque village of Tignes Les Brevieres. The chalet is just fifty metres from the nearest access point to the slopes. Tignes Les Brevieres enjoys easy access to the whole L'Espace Killy ski area. A gondola and lift take you from the village to just above Tignes Le Lac from where you can ski to the main Tignes lifts and on to Val d'Isere. The village enjoys a wonderfully warm ambience with its traditional Savoyard centre which is tucked in a sheltered position within the steep sided Isere valley. Tignes Les Brevieres offers an excellent selection of restaurants serving Savoyard favourites including fondues, raclettes and pirards which are meats cooked on stone. They are mostly owned by local families with a passion for their trade. The village enjoys a delightful selection of lively bars for apres-ski including La Moose and Dickie's Bar.

Tignes is a fantastic ski resort that sits at a very high altitude. It is famous for its record snowfalls and is linked brilliantly with Val d'Isere as part of L'Espace Killy. It is one of the best European destinations for skiers and snowboarders to carve up the slopes. In Tignes, Val Claret sits at 2100 metres high at the foot of the Grande Motte funicular. Le Lac and Le Lavachet enjoy more of a cosy village feel and all three areas are linked by a free resort shuttle bus. The villages enjoy excellent shops, ski hire options, bars and restaurants. In total L'Espace Killy enjoys over 300km of pistes, 150 shops, 115 bars and numerous ski schools making it one of Europe's premier ski resorts. According to ‘The Good Ski and Snowboarding Guide', Tignes and Val d'Isere together are one of the only two ski areas in France listed as ‘snow-sure resorts'. Tignes is excellent for all levels of skier and offers five free lifts for beginners.

L'Espace Killy is actually open eleven months of the year, thanks to the La Grande Motte Glacier. It backs onto the peaks of the Italian border too. You can ski the glacier in the summer months. The funicular railway that takes skiers to the panoramic platform at 3030m takes just seven minutes. It is worth the ride just for the view! The Perce-Neige funicular took four years to construct and transports three thousand people per hour travelling at twelve metres per second! The restaurant at the top is incredibly popular. There, you can take a cable car to a height of 3456m and take a thrilling ski down to Tignes Les Brevieres, have the services of a mountain guide to take you to the summit of the Grande Motte or just marvel at the glorious panorama of the surrounding mountains.

Tignes has come a very long way since the very first lift was installed in the old village of Tignes back in 1936. There are some wonderful activities available once the lifts are closed. Ice skating is popular and also the unusual activity of ice diving in Tignes lake. Evolution 2 welcomes beginners to experienced ice divers, providing equipment, guidance and instruction to enjoy this unique experience. Le Lagon Sports Centre offers a 25 metre indoor swimming pool with six lanes, a leisure pool with a wave machine, water slides and jacuzzi style massage beds. There is also a wellness area with hot tubs, saunas, a steam room and an ice bath.

Val d'Isere is within easy reach by car or you can ski across from Tignes Les Brevieres. Val d'Isere is famous for its skiing, apres-ski scene, exclusive boutiques and fabulous restaurants. The resort offers gondolas with heated seats, Wi-Fi, a number of luxury spas, a wonderful leisure centre and a fantastic night life. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, Val d'Isere sits on the border of the stunning Vanoise National Park. Val d'Isere enjoys an authentic alpine atmosphere, a gorgeous historic centre, endless chocolate-box chalets and fantastic bars and eateries. The centre of Val d'Isere is a bustling high street which is surrounded by a number of small hamlets including Le Cret, Le Joseray, Le Chatelard, La Legettaz and Le Laisinant.
