Chalet Catherine

Chalet Catherine is a catered chalet in Tignes, sleeping 8. It is ski-in/ski-out, so skis go on at the door and the day ends without a walk in boots, which helps with a group at Christmas. Cots and family rooms are available, which is the detail that decides it for anyone travelling with small children. It has a hot tub and a sauna. In the last week of December the afternoons are short and everybody comes in cold, which is when an outdoor hot tub stops being a luxury and earns its place.

Tignes scores 79 out of 100 on our Christmas Snow Score, with the village at 1810m. That is among the more dependable places to be skiing in Christmas week.

8 beds is the classic family or small-group size. Being catered, nobody spends Christmas Day in the kitchen, which is the single strongest argument for a chalet over an apartment in this particular week.

Check the bed configuration directly with the operator — how a chalet divides its beds matters more at Christmas than the headline number.
