Stay in chalet 16 people (or even more!)

As the saying goes: “The more, the merrier!” That’s why the capacity of your lodging should never hold you back from planning your group vacation. Have your infectious enthusiasm and compelling arguments convinced all your friends, brothers, sisters, and cousins to go on a mountain vacation? Perfect! Trust us to find comfortable beds for everyone!

The perfect solution for group vacations for up to 16 people: travel by chalet to Tignes the Lake. Our two cabins, Ancolie and Charline, feature 6 and 7 true, separate bedrooms, respectively, and can each accommodate up to 16 people.

Would you like to stay in chalet more than 16 people? No problem! Here are the two options we offer:

- Rent both neighboring cottages for a vacation for up to 32 people (16 + 16)

- Rent one of the cabins (Charline or Ancolie) and add the neighboring Petite Charline apartment to your booking for a vacation accommodating up to 22 people (16 + 6).

Vacationing in chalet the comfort of independence

When traveling in a group, the noise level can quickly rise… “Quiet” evenings suddenly turn into karaoke sessions; shouts and laughter erupt during a simple card game; and voices rise to high pitches so everyone across the table can hear them over the sound of the fondue pot. And suddenly, a few knocks on the door: “Could you please keep it down? We’re trying to sleep…”

Staying in chalet eliminates any risk of upsetting your early-to-bed neighbors. And by extension, it eliminates any frustration of having to keep your voice down and hold back your joy just when you need to let it out the most: during your group vacation!

On the other hand, staying in chalet also lets chalet escape the noise of neighbors who are a little too rowdy for your taste (especially if you’re traveling with babies or young children who go to bed early). What a treat it is to be close to everything… but far from everyone!

Our cabins Ancolie and Charline are both equipped with working fireplaces—one modern and the other traditional. We provide the firewood: all you have to do is strike a match to set off the gentle crackling so characteristic of dry wood burning slowly. Pull up a chair, stretch your toes toward the gentle warmth radiating from the hearth… The beginning of pure bliss, without a doubt.

A chalet a fireplace is nice… but a chalet a fireplace AND a hot tub is even better! Our chalet Ancolie goes the extra mile for you: the crackling fire in the living room and the soothing bubbles in the outdoor hot tub set on the large terrace with a view. It’s the perfect way to enjoy a chalet getaway chalet a touch of epicurean luxury, perfect for any season: in winter after a day on the slopes, in summer to soothe your muscles after a hike, and even in fall—the perfect season for cozy evenings.
