About Chalet Gypaete

Chalet Gypaete is a self-catered chalet in Tignes, sleeping 10 in 5 bedrooms. The nearest lift, Chaudannes Ski Lift, is about 90m away — close enough to walk in boots. It has a fireplace. A log fire on Christmas Eve is most of the reason people book a chalet over an apartment. Beds: 8 singles and 1 double, with 4 bathrooms.

Tignes scores 71 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.

Who it's for

  • Fireplace

Sleeping 10, it suits a large family Christmas or two families travelling together. It is self-catered, so you cook — including on the 25th. That suits groups who want to eat on their own schedule.

Things to consider

Resort supermarkets keep short and unpredictable hours over Christmas and many close entirely on the 25th. Order ahead or shop on arrival. Pets are not allowed. Check the bed layout and what is included (linen, towels, final cleaning) on Booking.com before you book — Christmas week is often sold as a fixed seven nights.

Questions about Chalet Gypaete

How many people does Chalet Gypaete sleep?

Chalet Gypaete sleeps 10 across 5 bedrooms, with 4 bathrooms. Confirm the exact sleeping layout with the partner before booking — how a chalet divides its beds matters more at Christmas than the headline number, particularly with children.

Is Chalet Gypaete catered?

No. Chalet Gypaete is self-catered. Plan ahead: resort supermarkets keep short and unusual hours over Christmas, and the 25th is often a closed day. Order or shop ahead.

How far is Chalet Gypaete from the lifts?

91m to the nearest lift. In ski boots, with children and kit, treat any distance over about 300m as a walk rather than a step outside.

What does Chalet Gypaete have?

Fireplace. We list only what we hold a confirmed answer for — if something matters to your group and is not listed here, it means we have not verified it rather than that the chalet lacks it. Check with the partner.

Is there usually snow at Chalet Gypaete at Christmas?

Tignes scores 84 out of 100 on our Christmas Snow Score, which rates how reliably a resort tends to have skiable snow in Christmas week. The score belongs to the resort rather than to this chalet, and it describes a tendency rather than a forecast — Alpine conditions vary every December and nobody can guarantee them.

Can I book Chalet Gypaete through this site?

No — we take no bookings and handle no payments. We link to the partners who do, and the booking options on this page go to their own live Christmas availability. If you book through one we may earn a commission, which never changes your price.
