Great apartment
This apartment is in an excellent location 50m from 2 ski lifts covering both sides of the valley. It is well appointed and comfortable with a well equiped kitchen, washing machine and dryer. The heating keeps the apartment comfortable. There are shops approximately 300-400 m away including a mini market and Nicks excellent pizzas. The same shopping area has a lift pass office.There is a bus stop 50m from the apartment with a free service that covers Lavachet, Le Lac and down to Val Claret running frequently.

Great ski apartment
We loved this apartment. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was well equipped, it was warm, clean and felt spacious for our family of 5. Having a washing machine and a dryer was brilliant. There was loads of space to hang ski stuff and put hats inside and the attached ski storage area was so handy, with ski racks, boot warmers / dryers and even sledges provided! The kids really made the most of the sledges! In terms of the skiing, the apartment is genuinely ski in, right to the front door (even in December when we came).There is a short walk up the road to ski out but the kids managed it absolutely fine. The skiing around Tignes is great and varied. It suited our older kids who want black runs and off piste and our youngest who prefers blues. Absolutely loved it. We’d definitely return.

Great place in good location
We had a fantastic week here. Lovely apartment very well kitted out and beds / towels etc all good quality. Parking space outside and we had no problems finding it once we’d been given the address. Good wifi and the underfloor heating was welcome. Keyless access was so convenient. We were able to ski back to the door most days and the heated boot room was great. Only tip I’d give to future renters would be to bring extra loo roll and dishwasher tablets (just 1 of each was available) - hand wash and laundry detergent also not provided but easily available at the supermarket. Overall can thoroughly recommend and we hope to visit again soon! Thanks for having us 🙂⛷

We had a great stay at a lovely apartment. It worked really well for our family of 5. Fantastic facilities and a great location. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. We communicated fine with limited common language. Only issue was no check in info on the Vrbo site. Would return to this lovely apartment.

Great place and value
We had a great experience here. We have 2 children and they really staying in this location. I fully recommend this property. The owner doesn’t speak much English but we managed to understand each other. When we left my wife left her contact lenses in the bathroom and the owner very kindly sent this in the post back to the UK. The Wi-fi wasn’t as bad as most people have suggested. We were still able to stream a movie. If there was one thing I would change that would be the instructions to get to the property. Other than that it was a great stay and great location and I would fully recommend it.

We had a wonderful Christmas in the apartment. It’s only about 10 mins walk from main lift area although you can get to one much closer. The shopping area of Lavachet is only five mins away. The apartment is spacious and in really nice condition. Thoroughly recommend it.

Great Apartment - again
This was our second visit so obviously we must have liked it the first time. As others have said this is a lovely cosy apartment with great access to the slopes, bus, chairlifts - everything really. We also managed to ski back to the front door every day this time which was a bonus. The only thing I would improve is the wifi which is a bit erratic but apart from that the place is great and we look forward to returning there.

brilliant, loved it, would book it again, perfect hosts, ski-in
apartment is lovely, fully equiped, floor heating and very well suited for small family with children (and up to 4 adults). We could ski to appartment and lifts are less than 100 m away. The hosts were very kind, helpful and accomodating:brilliant. They even facilitated and brought back to the apartment some lost airport luggage. Wifi was not running without problems and difficulty finding the apartment the first day cost them the fifth star but otherwise: brilliant.

Could not get into the apartment! Could not get in touch with anyone!
This is a very nice place! Everything you need is there. A few minutes walk to the lift is not a problem, we ski back most days. Internet connection definitely need major improvement. However, we never got update as to how to get in the apartment. Spent a few days emailing and frantic calling to try to get info trying to get info on how to get in the apartment to no avail. VM was in French only(owners/managers do not have much English if any). There was also no way to get in touch with vacationrental website for this kind of emergency either. Got to the apt and couldn’t get in in freezing weather!!! We walked into town to try to find THE ski rental shop that someone mentioned in the comments that the owner owns without success. Bitterly cold day! Tried multiple times to call the owners only to get VM. However finally got Christopher on the phone and he told us there was no booking!!! We had to call back a few times and finally told to go back to the apt. and his son comes downstair to give us the code. Owners live upstairs! We found out later that Christopher was ill and has been in the hospital. You would expect they would have a back up for emergencies when the apt. cost like a 4 star hotel for the week. Thank goodness 2 in our party has some french otherwise there would be no way to communicate with wither wife and son. They do not have any English at all. Vacation Rental should have an emergency contact for users specifically for this kind of emergencies. I will think twice about using Vacation Rental again.

Wonderful. Beautiful place, great location, brilliantly equipped and really helpful owner.
We've just finished a week in the apartment for three adults and one child. Simply the best apartment we've stayed in. High quality furniture, beds, utensils. Underfloor heating, private boot room with heated rack (things you didn't know you wanted until you tried them!). Location wonderful - ski to door (snow was amazing) or short (250m) walk to lifts/navette. Shops 5 mins up road and a good selection of bars and restaurants in a relaxed village, with the more jumping le lac 5 mins on the 24hr Navette or a 15 min walk. Loved it. We will be back.

Great apartment - for up to 5 people
Fantastic apartment in Lavachet, Tignes. Would definitely stay again - it was absolutely ideal. I have put some comments below so you know exactly what you're getting - intended to be helpful but please don't doubt how great this apartment is - it's fantastic, and we would definitely use again if/when we come back to Tignes Separate boot and ski room with heated boot rack, short (5 min) walk up hill to two very well connected lifts. Ski back to within 2 min walk (down hill) is easy, or take the bus to same walk from Tignes Le Lac or Tignes Val Claret. Apartment has a king bed room, a room with a bunk bed and another single, and then (I think) a sofa bed - but with the sofa bed used it would be a crowded apartment. Has washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, fridge, freezer compartment, and all cooking equipment you could need (including salad spinner, raclette stone, fondue pot!). Very comfy, warm, hot water somewhat limited (easily did 4 of us one shower a day, but ran out on day 1 when we showered in the morning and evening, not a big deal though). Lovely hosts - collected us from Le Lac where the bus dropped us, unfortunately our departure was too early to get a lift back! Note remember to get cash on the last day - 85 cent per person per night local tax, plus if you want 50 euro cleaning (though we cleaned ourselves as lots of equipment and easy to clean).

Outstanding
We stayed at this apartment two years ago and it is as amazing now as it was then. The apartment is beautiful, spotless and the location is great. We will definitely be making a return visit. The owners are very friendly and there if needed but leave you to it otherwise. Parking right on the doorstep and your own heated boot room are added extras that make a big difference. A very short walk to the slope and we were able to ski back to the door most days. I can honestly say that once you have stayed at this apartment you don't want to stay anywhere else.

Fantastic Appartment
We stayed here Jan 16 2016. 3 of us . Came in on Bens bus to LaLac. Gave Christophe a call and he came picked us up which was real nice of him. Apartment is nicely finished every thing looks new and freshly painted. Best equipped kitchen ive had on holiday even down to hand blender . And sharp knifes. A first . All linen and towels top quality . Underfloor heating great wet room and washer dryer. Great beds There were 3 of us . Could poss have 5 maybe 6 with 1 in sitting room but think 4 would be just right with space to be comfortable. You are on holiday after all. 1/2 min walk to lifts. 2 off 1 takes u tignes slopes other val. U couldn't ask for better. We could ski home. we had good snow or 1 2 min walk. Bus stop 2 min walk. Supermarket bars 5 min walk. La lac 10 min walk 2min bus ride. 1 of best resturants in Tignes La Ferme des Trois Capucines 2 min walk Heated bootroom. Nice and quiet as no bar traffic. It was great to come back from skiing to a nice comfortable apartment and relax with cold 1. Will def come back if 4 or less of us. So don't rent it. I want it. Also Christophe runs a ski hire shop so don't forget to ask about rentals. We were already sorted as didn't know as he didn't advertise. Superb Carl

Excellent séjour!
L’appartement correspond exactement à l’annonce. Il est très bien équipé, spacieux et proche des remontées mécaniques. Nous avons apprécié le casier à ski avec sèche-chauffeur de chaussures de ski, le lave et sèche linge mais surtout l’appareil à fondue! Cecile et Christophe sont des hôtes très sympathiques et arrangeants. Nous les remercions pour cet agréable séjour.
