Hi this is primarily addressed to Matt Thomas who proved a mine of info
last
time we went to Tignes, but if anyone else knows the answer please feel
free
to let me know.

We've managed to book a cheap stay in the Chalet Glacier which is
described
as being between Lavachet and Le Lac, but I can't find it on any maps -
well
I can but ifyouski put it in the middle of the lake! Does anyone have any
idea where it is please?

Hi,

Sorry I'm late to the conversation, but yes - going by the picture on
the website Brian and Ace are correct, it's pretty much next to the
Paquis and Chaudanne base stations on the 'return-leg' of the free bus
between Lavachet and Lac. The free 'Lavachet' lift is a button that is
pretty much next to the Chaudanne and Paquis - just separated by a
tunnel under the road. There's a bus stop at that point as well which
will get you up the hill to Lac in about 1 minute where there is a
magic carpet lift on a very shallow slope that the children usually
use, and the Rosset free beginners slope.

Cheers,

Matt

Thanks to one and all for your replies

Ace, do you know how the 2 ski club reps at Tignes work - are they based at
the different bases (Lac & Val Claret) or do they have different programmes
offering different skills or degrees of difficulty?
