Residence Le Taos (Family) Tignes, France
The Residence Le Taos is situated on the Lavachet piste so offering the benefit of a ski in and ski out position. From here just glide down to the Paquis or Chaudannes chairlifts. The smaller Lavachet lift is just outside and this takes you up a short way up so you can ski down to the centre of Tignes le Lac and our adult ski school meeting place.
**Please note this is a family orientated property and the operator will not take bookings for adult only groups**
In the mornings children in Sprite and Spritelet lessons are collected by our Esprit staff from the Residence and taken to the ski school meeting place to meet the ski instructor. Children are then returned to the residence at the end of the day or parents collect the children from the Evolution 2 Office if just morning lessons or lunch are booked.
The apartments themselves are well equipped and all have kitchenettes with hot plates, microwave, oven coffee machine, toaster and fridge. There is a supermarket in Tignes le Lac just 5 minutes' walk from the residence and a number of restaurants are close by if you want to go out and eat.
It is also possible to pre-book the food delivery service provided by Huski with meals for 3, 5 or 6 days.
There is a wide range of accommodation with one bedroom apartments for families of four and well as two or three bedroom apartments for larger families.
The apartments are well equipped and beds are made on arrival. Towels are provided and there is free Wi-Fi. The kitchenettes all have ceramic hot plates, microwave oven, fridge with freezer compartment, dishwasher and cafetiere. A small cleaning kit is provided and end of week cleaning is included (apart from the kitchen area and any washing up). All apartments also have a flat screen TV, hair dryer, towel rails/dryers and a safe.
The apartments are all well stylishly decorated taking inspiration from the Taos Pueblo in New Mexico with the use of these traditional colours on the walls and for soft furnishings.

The advantage of booking a self-catered skiing holiday is often the price. The disadvantages mean either eating out, which in a ski resort is often expensive, or it means having to cook your own meals, which probably means less time skiing, and who really wants to shop and then cook an evening meal after a full days skiing?
Huski, the Alps-based catering business offers a great solution, that means you can still enjoy the great value of a ski apartment or self-catered chalet and eat well without the fuss of having to cook your own food.
Huski delivers a week’s worth of dishes, freshly frozen and ready for you to just heat and serve.
Huski catering is only available to properties in French ski resorts.
