The Aiguille Percee is perfectly located in the centre of Tignes le Lac and is one of our most characterful chalethotels. A true getaway, you're situated in the heart of the valley with views out over the Lac de Tignes and the Grande Motte Glacier.

Just moments from the ski lift and ski school, it's quick and easy to get out on the slopes. Situated at an altitude of 2100, the snow conditions are always reliable and remain so late into the season. Directly opposite the Chalethotel Aiguille Percee is the Aeroski gondola which provides direct access to the Val d'Isere slopes.  The location of this chalethotel couldn't be better; it offers the perfect base for skiers of all standards.

If you like comfort you'll love the warm wood panelled bedrooms and hand painted furniture.  The cosy lounge area leads to the bar with balcony, perfect for a pre-dinner cocktail.  The dining room has a homely feel where we invite you to dine as a group or tuck yourself away.  For the ultimate relax, visit our Viva health and beauty salon or escape to the steam room and sauna.

There are a total of 31 bedrooms comprising of:

Twin - 2 single beds, some rooms take a cot.

Twin with bunk - 2 single beds and bunk beds, some can take a cot. Rooms have either a shower or bath; Triple - 3 single beds, en-suite bathroom

From the moment you arrive at the airport, our ski hosts are on hand to help.  They will accompany you on the transfer from the airport to resort, answering any ski questions you might have.  Thereafter, they'll guide you on the slopes finding the best snow conditions, the shortest lift queues and the best lunch stops - with a table reserved in advance.

Ski hosting is available 5 days of the week. There are three ski hosting groups for you to join, each split according to level of ability and speed.  You can join the group for leisurely, intermediate or advanced skiers for half of the day or the whole day, or switch groups whenever you wish.  It's up to you.

Ski hosting groups meet after breakfast at 9am and all groups stop for lunch at the same restaurant, giving you the chance to catch up with friends, family and fellow guests.  Choose to continue in the afternoon with the group or take time out to do your own thing.  At the end of the day our hosts will accompany you back to the hotel for a well deserved cup of tea.

Our hosts are advanced skiers and know the resort intimately, but they are not instructors or accredited mountain guides. If you are a beginner the we can assist you in arranging lessons with the local ski school.

The Aiguille Percee is a great place for adults and groups of friends, the hotel has a large sociable bar at ground floor level opening out on to a sunny terrace. The restaurant is spacious with room for large groups or a table for two.

Tignes Le Lac is great for an evening out, with plenty of pubs and bars and is just a free bus ride away. Although it's not as famous as its Espace Killy "partner" Val d'Isere, the drinks are often cheaper and the atmosphere more laid back.

Where to go...

Loop Bar - The Loop has one of the best sun terraces in Tignes.  Looking out over the lake up to the Grand Motte, it's the perfect setting for an après-ski beer.  Inside there is a pool table, and all live sports are televised.

Bagus Bar - Situated on Rue de la Poste, this funky bar is now in it's second year of new management and they've brought a taste of urban chic to the Alps. A mix of cow-hide and chrome decor, fabulous cocktails and top DJ's flown in from the UK make this a popular spot.

Grotte du Yeti - This is one of those crazy bars that's always busy and the music always playing. It's a great place for an afternoon's dancing in your ski boots!

Alpaka - Relax on the comfy sofas and try a few of the renowned cocktails. Champagne night is on a Monday and Saturday afternoons are reserved for some televised sport with a pint and a pie.

Open till 4am...

Jacks Club - For many people in Tignes, this is a bit of a marmite club. Those who shudder at the thought of dancing round a pole to a bit of 70's disco, a bit of 80's cheese and a bit of 90's rock all mixed together, then this probably isn't your thing. Everyone else, we defy you not to have fun here.

It's important to us that you enjoy every moment of your holiday - the skiing, the resorts, and - of course, the food and drink. We've taken great care to make sure that our dining rooms are atmospheric places where you can unwind and chat with friends. Meals are relaxed occasions at our chalethotels with plenty of delicious, healthy food, accompanied by good wines.



Breakfast

Breakfast is served every morning until 10am. As well as a cooked breakfast, there is a buffet of juices, cereals, yoghurt and fruit, local breads and pastries, preserves and honey, along with tea, coffee, herbal teas and hot chocolate.

A selection of teas, coffee and hot chocolate is available in the lounge throughout the day.



Afternoon tea

This is a sight you will come to love - a selection of cakes, biscuits, bread, jams and honey, to greet you on your return from the slopes. There's also soup, if you prefer, along with a choice of teas, coffee and plenty of hot chocolate.



Dinner

Six nights a week our chefs create a three course menu with a choice of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes. On two evenings, including the evening of arrival, they will prepare a buffet with plenty of choice to suit all tastes. For those with a sweet tooth there are some memorable desserts to enjoy, or, for those who prefer savouries, we serve cheese.



Wine

To accompany your meal you have a choice of wines; two whites and two reds. These table wines are complimentary and are available throughout dinner until coffee is served. We have a selection of other wines that can be purchased at extra cost.



Special diets

If you have any special dietary requirements please let us know before you travel and we will do our best to accommodate you. If you require specialised products, it may be advisable to bring these along with you.



Special occasions

Should you be marking a special occasion and need a celebratory cake, please speak to the chalethotel staff in good time, or order it through our After Sales department prior to your holiday.



Eating out

Once a week, our chefs and kitchen staff have an evening off. This is your opportunity to explore the local restaurants. Your chalethotel will have plenty of information on the local places to eat and will be happy to book a table and arrange transport for you. Please note this meal is at your own expense. Breakfast and afternoon tea are served as usual on this day.



Seating arrangements

Many of our guests enjoy the convivial dinner party ambience of a large shared table, whereas others prefer to dine in a family group or as a couple. It does depend on the size and layout of the dining area, but our staff will always do their best to accommodate your preferences. In chalethotels Tovière, Cygnaski, Moris and Christina, where our dining rooms are designed for the more traditional chalet-style skiing holiday, guests dine together in groups.



Bars

All our chalethotels have their own bars for the use of guests. Drinks bills are charged to your room and must be paid for at the end of your holiday by Visa, Mastercard or in local currency. Please note that licensing laws prohibit the drinking of duty-free or brought-in alcohol in our public rooms.
