The Residences Village Montana is a complex of five apartment buildings close to the Hotel Village Montana and located on the edge of the slopes. There is a wide range of accommodation with two bedroom apartments for families of four, three bedroom apartments and even five bedroom apartments for up to ten people.

The apartments are located in Les Almes area of Tignes, just up from the centre of Tignes le Lac. The piste runs close to the Granier and Airelles buildings, the others are on the other side of the road, and then you ski down to Les Almes chairlift and the Palafour and Toviere lifts. In the mornings children in Sprite and Spritelet lessons are signed in to staff at the Hotel Village Montana and then Improvers and above ski down with an instructor to their lessons whilst beginners and Spritelets are taken by minibus.

It's a 5 minute walk to the centre of Tignes Le Lac. From the bottom of the Village Montana complex there is a bus stop with the frequent ski shuttle going all the way up to Val Claret.

The apartments are well equipped and a good choice for a family stay. The kitchen areas all have ceramic hot plates, traditional oven, microwave oven, fridge, dishwasher, cafetiere, toaster and pressure cooker. A small cleaning kit is provided including sponge, washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets and end of week cleaning is included (apart from the kitchen area and any washing up). The reception also has fondue and raclette sets if you want to have a local style meal.

The apartments are all well decorated and you can chose a type whereby nobody has to sleep in the lounge area. Beds are made up on arrival and towels are included with a midweek change.

Cots and high chairs can be provided, please request when booking.

The Hotel Village Montana has the 'Spa Les Bains du Montana' with an outdoor pool (heated to 30˚C), sauna, steam room, whirlpool and relaxation area with herbal teas. There is a local charge of €10 per adult per day (or €5 for children under 15). Massages and beauty treatments are also available.

If you book the 3 bedroom and cabin apartment (100m²) in the Airelles Residence then your apartment will have its own whirlpool and sauna.

Our partner ski hire shop is located just at the entrance to the complex and there are also heated ski rooms for overnight storage.

If you are looking for quality accommodation with excellent facilities that is close to the pistes and that gives you the freedom to chose whether to self cater or eat out locally then Village Montana has it all.

Ski Childcare & Children’s Ski Lessons

We have led the childcare concept for UK families on skiing holidays for the last 35 years and our programme is constantly reviewed and refined, with previous guest feedback always the key element in further enhancing the experience.

For parents, Classic Childcare means being able to leave your accommodation after breakfast to head for the first lifts, only needing to return after the last one shuts. We look after your children completely throughout the ski day if you wish.

While the babies and toddlers go to our Nursery, staff take the older ones to our partner ski-school, collect them, give them lunch, run activities to keep them happy and stimulated and then take them back to their chalets for their high tea, giving you our super-convenient ‘Seamless Service’ throughout the day.
