Le Lévanna

As a former Winter Olympics host, where better to learn, improve or simply enjoy skiing than Tignes? With grand pistes, coloured runs, cross-country zones and terrain parks, the skiing possibilities are endless. Or, if you want to attempt something exciting and new, you can try out other activities including skijoring, skidoo riding, ice diving and hand gliding. For a more insightful experience, deeper than the wonderous slopes and snowflakes, Tignes has an icy past for you to explore: in 1952, the French government flooded the original village in the Isère valley to form a hydroelectric dam. Following an exhilarating day, Tignes offers you fantastic Après ski choices, from fabulous restaurants and bars – including the world-renowned ‘Folie Douce’ – to concerts, theatre and comedy shows.

As the night settles in, why come down from the peaks when you can rest your head on the cushiony clouds of a hotel that encompasses in all that Tignes is? Welcome to Le Lévanna: a cosy chalet located in the heart of the ski resort, allowing you to glide down the slopes directly into the comfort of your restful room.

For a boost of energy during your active day, immerse yourself in the beautiful surroundings on the restaurant’s terrace, as you take a pitstop for lunch. With glorious views of the Grand Motte Glacier, there is no better setting for a tasty refuel. Afterwards, if you prefer to leave your ski sessions to the mornings, there are plenty of ways to laze the afternoons away at Le Lévanna. Relax in the cosy ambience of the hotel’s lounge, where you can recline on a plush sofa with a book or challenge a friend to a fun game of billiards. Alternatively, unwind in the wellness area, where you can luxuriate in the hammam room, jacuzzi and sauna.

As the sun sets on your active day, delight in an authentic French meal as the glistening snow-covered mountains peep through the restaurant’s charming wooden windows. Later, having enjoyed an exciting evening of après ski, retire to your bright and airy room. Here, the soft colour palette of pastel yellows and neutrals blended with light woods, encouraging a sense of tranquillity, and the mountains sparkle in the moonlight beyond your private balcony.

For an exceptional stay in a snowy mountain amphitheatre, choose Le Lévanna: a cosy chalet in one of the most famous ski resorts.
