On the first floor, four twin/double bedrooms, all with French windows with access to the terrace and the outdoor jacuzzi.
All of the bedrooms (except Master) can be configured as twins or doubles.
The spacious open plan living and dining area is situated on the second floor. Soft lighting, clean lines, stones and natural wood create a haven of sophistication.
The focal point of the room is the beautiful Lorenzo Quinn sculpture which sits in front of the far window against the dramatic backdrop of the La Grande Sassière mountain range. A custom-made football table will undoubtedly entertain everyone. The wonderfully inviting ‘L shaped’ sofa is the perfect spot to relax and unwind with a glass of champagne in front of the roaring fire. The large dining table creates an ideal entertaining area.

•Espace Killy ski area •Fantastic après ski •High altitude skiing
Tignes is somewhere you can ski longer, higher and further than most other resorts in the Alps. Owing its snow-reliability to the Grande Motte glacier, the local ski area is joined with Val d’Isere’s to form the mammoth Espace Killy - intermediates will have a whale of a time here. Choose between 5 different villages, whether your priority is convenience, cosiness or cheap accommodation. Tignes also has one of the most famous New Year parties in the Alps.
