The 5 Best Luxury Chalets in Tignes

Five exceptional chalets in Tignes, chosen for their architecture, their wellness spaces and their direct access to the Tignes-Val d'Isère ski area.

Updated 11 November 2026

Tignes, five villages beneath the Grande Motte

Tignes is not a single resort but a lived-in valley: five villages stepped from 1550m to 2150m, from Les Brévières up to Val Claret. Its story comes down to one date. In 1952 the Chevril dam flooded the original village, and the resort was rebuilt higher up, around a natural lake of more than twenty hectares that freezes so hard in winter you can walk across it.

Above it, the Grande Motte glacier rises to 3653m. From Val Claret, the Perce-Neige funicular climbs to 3032m, then a cable car takes over up to 3456m, the highest point of a ski area linked to Val d'Isère: 300km of slopes, almost all of them above the tree line.

At the bottom of the valley, Les Brévières has kept the soul of an old Savoyard village and its own gondola; higher up, Le Lac and Val Claret live at the foot of the slopes, shown on our Tignes piste map. To choose between the two resorts of the ski area, our guide Val d'Isère or Tignes compares them point by point.

Our agents have chosen five chalets worthy of the setting: one above Le Lac, facing the ski area, and four in the old village of Les Brévières, at the foot of the slopes.

Above Le Lac, four storeys facing due south.

In the Les Almes quarter above Tignes Le Lac, this south-facing 450m² chalet rises over four storeys served by a lift. On the snow level, a sauna in aspen wood, a large hot tub, a games room with a billiard table and a made-to-measure ski room. The eight bedrooms take up the two middle floors, each with its own decorative world and its own bathroom. At the top, beneath the exposed roof timbers, the sitting room gathers around a double-sided fireplace, open to the kitchen, a dining room laid for sixteen and a bar set against the wine cellar.

An 1893 house next to the baroque church.

In the centre of Les Brévières, right next to the church, this chalet built in 1893 faces the ski area, which starts 50m away. Fully renovated in 2022, it has kept its original roof timbers, its traditional panelling and its antique furniture, brought out by careful lighting: a true family house rather than a standard chalet. Across 220m², six bedrooms with deep carpets, a south-facing terrace and balcony for late afternoons, and a sauna for the return from the slopes.
