Chalet Ambre, Tignes

Description

A wise designer once said you should have nothing in your home you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful. Chalet Ambre is a winning combination of both. In fact, if William Morris had been a keen skier, we think he’d have insisted on a house that allows you to ski right up to the door, too!

Ambre is kitted out with everything you need, from the high-tech (integrated sound, Spotify and TVs throughout) to the down-to-earth but ever so practical (ski room, laundry room and private parking). And the chalet is as beautiful as it is useful – Alpine chic style is the order of the day here – wood floors, clean lines and warm faux fur throws. Cushions piled high ensure that lounging is easy and there’s always a comfy seat for everyone.

The bedrooms are shrines to rest and relaxation, with soft duvets and fluffy towels, perfect after an energetic day on the slopes or a long soak in the luxurious outdoor hot tub.

Powder hounds will love the location. You’re less than two minute’s walk from the slopes. And when the day’s done you can sit out on the balcony with a drink or two and enjoy the mountains in all their majesty as the sun goes down. Simply spectacular.

Eating

Food is as important to the staff at Chalet Ambre as it is to you.

Each morning, a delicious breakfast is served. Then after a morning’s skiing, you’ll find coffee and tea as well as freshly baked cakes and biscuits laid out waiting for you back at the chalet.

In the evenings, following canapés and your favourite aperitif, you’ll enjoy a wonderful evening meal including a cheese board, all served with a carefully chosen selection of house wines. Children are well catered for here too, as your private chef will be happy to prepare an early supper so that the adults can enjoy dinner in peace.

There’s also an open bar with spirits and soft drinks so you can enjoy your favourite tipple whenever you wish, why not enjoy it on one of the balconies looking out to stunning views or from this luxury ski chalet’s hot tub?

Alternatively, Chalet Ambre can be taken on a self-catered basis allowing you to venture out in the evenings and discover the town’s many wonderful restaurants and bars.
