Meet the locals...

January 26, 2012



Welcome to ou happy staff for 2012. These are the lovely people who will be welcoming you and looking after you here at Chalet Chardons.

It's been (as always) a crazy start to the season, more so with the HUGE amounts of snow we are still getting. So we thought we would say thanks to everyone for their hard work and take them out for the day. On Tuesday we all headed over to the nearby resort of St Foy for some gentle skiing and some not so gentle off-piste. This photo was taken at the beginning of the day, before Doug's 'skier explosion' on the first run, Marks 'turtle moment' after a high speed crash through the trees and finally, nearly losing most of the staff on the long off-piste traverse back to Brevieres. We would like to report that fortunately everyone made it home in one piece, but unfortunately for them, back in time for work!

We look forward to seeing all you soon! - The Chardons Team

Ski lifts open early due to lots of snow!

December 11, 2011
The season has well and truly begun! The metre of snow we have seen in resort in the last week has given us a fantastic start to the season. The ski lift in the village has opened a week early giving us access to the Boisses Gondola. If you are on your way here, we'll see you on the slopes! If you are not, get on a plane!

Will you win tickets to the Ski and Snowboard Show?

Next month will see us make a rare appearance in the UK just in time for the London Ski & Snowboard Show at Earls Court. Last year we had a great time chatting with over 1500 skiers and boarders looking for great value for money snow holidays. We also enjoyed the visits from lots of previous guests who popped by to say hello. This year we are on Stand B30, opposite the husky dogs. If you have any questions about our hotel or chalets we would love to talk to you. The show runs from Wednesday October 19th to Sunday October 24th. See you there!

It's Snowing!

February 21, 2011



After the gorgeous sunny weather we've been enjoying the snow has returned to Tignes! We woke yesterday morning surrounded by the white stuff and swiftly joined the half term guests in hitting the slopes and enjoying the powder. Hailey, (pictured) our head chalet girl, and our other chalet staff had a fantastic afternoon surfing their way through the fresh powder, despite not really being able to see where they were going! Who needs visibility anyway?!
