Chalet Sachette

Chalet Sachette is a catered chalet in Tignes, sleeping 12. It sits in the resort centre, which puts the shops, the bars and the Christmas market on the doorstep rather than at the end of a bus ride. Cots and family rooms are available, which is the detail that decides it for anyone travelling with small children.

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.

12 beds suits a large family Christmas or two families travelling together. 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.

A property this size usually only goes as a whole, so it is a better fit for a group that has already formed than for two or three people. Check the bed configuration directly with the operator — how a chalet divides its beds matters more at Christmas than the headline number.
