featured in Hotels

Located in the centre of Tignes Le Lac this hotel is situated opposite Grande Motte glacier and the lake, making it ideal for both summer and winter holidays.

The hotel offers 26 bedrooms and 7 suites/family rooms - all of which have an en-suite bathroom, balcony, cable TV, WiFi, mini-bar, safe and hair-dryer. The rooms also have access to individual ski lockers.

Guests at Hotel Le Lac can enjoy free access to the spa with sauna, steam room and two jacuzzis, where you can unwind and revive after an active day on the mountain. The hotel also has a cosy lounge, billiard room and library for the use of guests.

The hotel is ideally located just 50m from the ski lifts and ski school meeting points in the winter, and in summer close to all the activities such as golf, tennis, water sports, hiking, horse riding and summer skiing on the glacier!

Hotel Le Refuge was the first mountain refuge in Tignes le Lac, built in 1924 when the village of Tignes was much lower down the mountain and the area around the lake was used for grazing cattle. It was extended and renovated in 1960, when it became a 3* hotel. It has been refurbished a number of times over the years but still retains much of its original charm.

The Bar

A perfect spot for an apres ski drink by the large roaring open log fire on one of their comfortable sofas or large squishy army chairs. There are a selection of wines, beers and spirits available as well as tea, coffee and soft drinks.

The Restaurant

The rustic restaurant has a simple homely Savoyard interior and offers a good selection of straight forward local food. Both bed and breakfast as well as half board packages are available from the hotel.
