Le Tchuss sur Tignes

The apartment is located in a building right at the entrance to the city, in a quiet area, with the main street just around the corner. The complex itself is relatively tired, but not run-down. They try to keep it clean; you can tell from the architecture and the carpet on the floor that it was designed a long time ago. The elevator works well, and there's a separate ski room and boot storage room, also on the ground floor. It's been mentioned before that the Wi-Fi is terrible. The best spots for reception are the toilet, the bathroom countertop, and the left corner of the bedroom near the headboard. However, watching movies or working reliably isn't possible, and you don't want to be in such beautiful mountains! The apartment is newly renovated and stylish! Everything looks just like the photo, except for the table, which has already gotten dirty. The bedroom is fantastic, the bed is comfortable, the mattress and mattress pads are a special thanks to the owners, and the closet looks small but turns out to be quite roomy. There were four of us (adults and two teenagers) staying here. When we arrived, we were disappointed to find out how we'd fit. But then we ended up living there for a whole week, thanks to the design, which isn't just beautiful but also so functionally thought out. There wasn't enough room for our suitcases, so we simply put them out on the balcony. We were very pleased with the coat rack and bench; they unexpectedly fit all of our ski clothes. The sofa is large, soft, and modern; we were able to curl up on it after a day of skiing. The apartment sleeps six, but let's be honest: sleeping on a fold-out bed in the hallway (like on a train) is uncomfortable; it's noisy from the elevator, and there's no air circulation, so you can't use the bathroom. We slept in the bedroom and on the sofa, which folds out perfectly and is comfortable. Plenty of linens were provided, and the towels were excellent. To sum it up, as the title says – a great apartment for four. The kitchen has everything and more. Everything is new: stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, Nespresso machine. There's a good set of dishes, plenty of glasses, pots, and pans. There are two Sherpa stores in town (one right next door) with a very decent selection: they have a selection of ready-to-heat meals, a good ham section, a wide selection of wines, and everything else. Nearby, a line forms outside in the morning to get a delicious bakery and pastry shop (upstairs to the left of Sherpa) where you can get a coffee. There's also a large cheese shop nearby. There's a pharmacy in town, which is important. Overall, Tignes Val Claret turned out to be a great town for winter skiing, both in terms of ski area and access to the slopes, and for evening strolls. Firstly, it's not congested; it's a dead-end street, so the upper main street isn't particularly busy, with a bus and a couple of cars driving down it. Secondly, you can walk there. Leaving your apartment, you can take a 40-50-minute loop. This is so nice, because sometimes towns are so small that there's just a patch of shops and then chalet after chalet after chalet, and there's no room to walk. Of course, walking along the packed ice path to Le Lac is a special attraction, but we never made it there, even though there are a lot of people walking there. There are also plenty of ski sets, intersports, and similar activities. There are plenty of restaurants in town. I'd recommend 2 Flocons and Alberto during the day in the winter sun. La Grattalu is delicious and good in the evening (book in advance). I didn't like La Pignatta. There are Michelin-starred restaurants, but we didn't bring evening dresses (this time J). They also have super delicious takeaway pizza, right by the elevator entrance between the upper and lower levels of the town (the elevator furthest from the entrance, look for Le Kiosk square, and the pizza itself is right next to the elevator). Order it in the evening and you'll receive it in about an hour (I think you can call them). There's also a great après-ski scene in town itself, near the Les Lanches lift and before the final descent to the town, just above the Tufs landing. Communication with the management during our stay, including check-in and check-out, was all through WA, very fast, convenient, and accommodating! We're delighted with our choice of this apartment; the ski area is wonderful, and Val Claret itself is charming! Thank you.
