Staying in a Residence: The Complete Guide

 

Booking accommodations for a large group can sometimes be a real headache: one apartment has the right number of beds (but some guests have to make do with sleeping in the entryway or living room); other apartments might work, but they’re each located at opposite ends of the ski resort (making it hard to get everyone together for a big, fun raclette dinner).

 

 

 

Vacation rentals in ski resorts sometimes get a bad rap. Outdated, poorly insulated, too small, uncomfortable… Fortunately, these are not adjectives you’ll be able to use to describe our properties.

 

All of our properties are (very) new, built from the ground up or completely renovated from the foundation to the roof. The decor, simple and elegant, showcases traditional materials (wood, stone) without compromising on modernity or comfort.

The “Made in Italy” furniture is entirely custom-made, from the benches to the headboards, including the fully equipped kitchens. The wallpaper was designed by an artist from Bourg-Saint-Maurice. The linens are by Linvosges.

 

To enjoy all these high-end amenities at the best price, book smart! Choose less busy times to stay at a resort, such as the period before the Christmas holidays, January, spring, summer, or fall. Subscribe to our newsletter to be the first before anyone else when our special offers go live.

 

The advantage of staying in a residence is that you don’t risk getting tendonitis from carrying a suitcase that’s too heavy… The beds are made upon your arrival at all our residences (with soft Linvosges sheets), spotless towels await you in the bathroom alongside bottles of shower gel and shampoo, and a cleaning kit is available in the kitchen.

 

Thanks to the special rates you enjoy with our partners in the resort, you can also forget about buying (and hauling around!) your own winter sports gear: the latest skis and snowboards from the top brands are waiting for you in stores near your apartment.

Those of you who have chosen to stay at the Quartz residence (Tignes , Val Claret) won’t even have to worry about bringing breakfast with you: fresh bread and delicious pastries will fill your kitchen with a wonderful aroma every morning, thanks to the breakfast service we offer in partnership with the bakery located right next to the residence.

 

Travel light: Pack only your clothes, toiletries, a good book, and enough food to prepare a meal now and then in the fully equipped kitchen (unless you’d rather shop at the local convenience stores or eat lunch and dinner at restaurants every day).

 

Booking a mountain vacation can sometimes feel like an obstacle course… Finding the right lodging at the base of the slopes, signing up for lessons at the nearest ski school, renting gear for the whole family, securing a covered parking spot in the middle of the February school break, and standing in line on Sunday morning to pick up your ski pass…
