Discounts & Special Offers

It’s great to have heard from so many of our loyal and returning clients that they are desperate to return to the beautiful slopes of Tignes and Val d’Isere and we are pleased to say we have now started taking lots of new bookings for next winter.

As avid skiers and snowboarders, we share everyone’s frustration about the premature end of the 2019-20 winter season and the closure of the ski lifts throughout the entirety of the Winter 2020-21 season due to Covid-19. We know that whilst many of our customers are yearning to book their next ski trip, the ongoing Coronavirus situation is holding them back. Our new Terms and Conditions, financial guarantees, and operating procedures laid out below will, we hope, address these understandable concerns.

With the worst of the outbreak behind us and travel restrictions around the world starting to ease, we are now confident that the Winter 21-22 season will be able to go ahead as planned. As a company which prides itself on excellent customer service, we know it is our responsibility to help reduce the risks of another outbreak and to introduce measures to give peace of mind when making a booking such as refund guarantees and flexible booking options. We have therefore put together this comprehensive plan with extra safeguarding measures to protect both the money and health of our guests.

Following the closure of the resort last season on 14th March 2020, and the subsequent travel ban imposed by the Foreign Commonwealth Office on UK citizens due to the international outbreak of Covid-19, we have renegotiated our local contracts in order to allow us to provide our guests with greater flexibility when booking in the future and to have a plan in place should there be a resurgence of Covid-19.

Our new T&Cs are designed to give you greater protection and flexibility. The main points to highlight are:

Full details of these changes and how they will apply to your booking can be found here.

Our experienced resort team have also put together an enhanced cleaning plan to ensure our guests can feel relaxed and safe while enjoying their holidays. The main points of this are as follows:

Covid-specific training and lots of extra cleaning

• All staff will receive Covid-specific hygiene training, with extra cleaning and disinfecting measures in every chalet
• Enhanced cleaning checklists and written protocols are ready to ensure nothing is missed
• Staff will be monitored at all times, with temperature checks taken at the start of every shift. Any staff member showing any symptoms will be removed from the work rota immediately and isolated until they are cleared to return
• Staff will all have access to personal protective equipment (PPE) specific to their job role
• Hand sanitiser and paper hand towels will be available throughout all chalets and staff will be required to use this regularly while working
• The communal areas of each chalet will be disinfected every day, with multiple cleans for touchpoints and at-risk areas. The whole chalet will be thoroughly disinfected and aired on changeover days between one set of guests leaving and the next arriving
• Where a chalet is being shared between multiple groups we will conform to all French legal requirements, such as enforcing the minimum space needed between dining tables to ensure social distancing can be maintained
• The spa areas of each chalet will be cleaned regularly, as always, and the number of people using these areas at one time may need to be restricted depending on French Government advice regarding social distancing at the time of travel

Covid-specific services

• For group sole-use chalet bookings, socially distanced catering can be offered as buffet-style meals. The details of this can be discussed further at the time of booking
• For group sole-use chalet bookings that may be looking to reduce their person-to-person contact with our team, should they prefer staff to only access the chalet for cleaning when they are not present, this can be arranged from 10 am until 12 noon. Please contact our reservations team in advance to discuss further
• During their stay, all guests will be able to opt out of daily bedroom and bathroom cleaning. If permitted, this daily clean includes disinfecting the bathrooms, door handles and all other touchpoints.

Due to the constantly evolving nature of the Covid-19 crisis, we will keep reviewing and updating all such policies. Should you have any additional safeguarding requests that would give you greater peace of mind during your stay, please enquire about these at the time of booking and, where possible, we will always do our best to oblige.

Travelling to Resort

• Our chalets in both Tignes Les Brevieres and Val d’Isere are the perfect destination if you want to self-drive or take a hire car from the airport to avoid shared transport:
  • In Tignes les Brevieres there are several car parks offering over 400 free spaces with additional overflow spaces along the road into the village if needed. There is also some limited parking outside most of our chalets. All parking in Tignes Les Brevieres is completely free of charge for unlimited use. This is very unusual in a high-altitude ski resort where often the only available parking is limited, expensive, and frequently only bookable in advance, as is the case in Tignes le Lac and Val Claret.
  • In Chalet Amelie, in le Fornet we have 2 garaged parking spaces for client exclusive use, based on a first-come-first-served basis. Outside the chalet, there is further public parking, but this is restricted to 48-hour stays
  • For our Val d’Isere guests, subject to the timings of the driving schedules of our team, we can offer a service for the guests to park their cars in the free parking in Tignes les Brevieres for the week. We can shuttle their driver back to the chalet in Val d’Isere on the day of arrival and bring them to Tignes les Brevieres on the day of departure to pick up their car.

During your stay in Resort

• Restaurants and bars in France and here in the resort have comprehensive measures in place to protect against the virus, so you will still be able to enjoy all the normal pleasures of a ski holiday.
• The Tignes and Val d’Isere local governments are working on a commitment charter for the measures they are putting in place to protect visitors. They are currently working with local business to ensure everyone is complying with the directives of the French Government with PPE, disinfectant usage, and social distancing measures all put in place.
• Guests and staff will be encouraged to download and use the StopCovid France app which helps protect everyone with a lot of useful information available.

These measures, we hope, will reassure our guests that their safety and wellness has been planned for and is of the utmost importance to us. We want everyone to be able to visit Tignes and Val d’Isere for an utterly amazing holiday in the knowledge that we have taken care of all possible measures to prevent a recurrence of Covid-19.

We will also be monitoring changes in French Government advice in the coming months and so the above is all subject to change prior to arrival. But check back here and we will ensure all precautions are up to date.

Here’s to getting back on the slopes for the Winter 21-22 season!
