 Poster: A snowHead
|
I am planning to drive down to Tignes from Brussels on 1 March and back up on 6 or 7.
Does anyone have any good tips please on where to stay (sort of last minute, heh)?
Also, any recommendations for ski schools for my beginner girlfriend who does not generally enjoy skis so much?

Don't know if it will help you much, as we went on a last minute package tour from England, and I am not sure they will have any rooms that aren't block booked by tour companies, but might be worth asking?
We stayed in Tignes last April at Club Hotel Curling. It is really central in the Val Claret part of town and you can ski to within one minute of the hotel door. It has pretty reasonable en-suite accommodation, good food, TV in rooms, etc. If I was looking for a hotel in Tignes again, I would definitely consider returning there. The Savoyarde restaurant across the road is great for the chef's night off. Pizza 2000, just by the slopes is good for lunch ~ v friendly, tasty and good value, and the little bar on the opposite side of the street from that down some steps has live music, is v atmospheric (even romantic if you manage to get it to yourselves, quite cosy if it is full!) is definitely recommended... La Cave? Something like that I think.
I didn't have lessons so can't help with that. Have a great time - great place to go!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thanks! Plans are still uncertain and not finalised - she might prefer la Clusaz although I am not sure yet... We'll see. Again, thanks for the tips!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I can't vouch for the accommodation at Chalet Chardons, either, but Tignes Les Brevieres is a great place to stay: quiet nursery slopes, fast gondola into Tignes itself, olde worlde village and a decent bar in the sun for those who don't want to spend all day on the slopes.

By the way, Club Hotel Curling ended up being quite a cheap option last minute; it was under £400 a head incl flights, transfer, half board and wine, etc. Might even have been £350, but can't remember now. ifyouski.com often has some really good last minute options.
