Sleeping up to 8 guests there are four en-suite double bedrooms all equipped with wall mounted flat screen TVs. The bedrooms are split into two wings which are accessed from the entrance hallway, and this layout works perfectly for two families. On one side there is a separate bathroom and separate toilet shared by two bedrooms, and on the other a separate shower room and separate toilet.
The property has been thoroughly updated and is decorated in a modern style with aged wood, grey stone and soft muted fabrics. The apartment also has access to a ski locker with boot heaters for all your mountain equipment storage. If driving to resort, there is also a car parking space available.
The nearest ski slopes are the blue graded Almes and Petit Col pistes which are a 120m walk up from the residence. Once on this piste you can ski quickly down to the Chaudannes and Paquis chairlifts. The Chaudannes chairlift brings you up onto the ski slopes heading towards the Aiguille Percee and the famous Eye of the Needle rock formation. The Paquis chairlift brings you up onto the Toviere sector above the frozen lake.
The resort centre of Tignes Le Lac, a short walk away, is also where you have a choice of ski lifts to choose between including Palafour. From the top of the Palafour chairlift there is a lovely network of blue and red slopes with stunning views over the Lac de Tignes.
Alternatively, you can take the Aeroski gondola which brings you onto the Toviere mountain. Now you have a choice between heading down onto the ski slopes of Val d’Isere or skiing over to Tignes Val Claret. If sticking to the Tignes side of the ski area, once in Val Claret you can take the funicular up to 3,000m followed by the cable car to access glacier skiing at 3,500m.
If you require ski school, the French Ski School (ESF) as well as other international ski schools have meeting points in the centre of Tignes Le Lac and next to the Aeroski gondola. There is also an ESF Piou Piou kids club in Tignes Le Lac which offers 3 to 5 year old children fun and friendly tuition to assist with the process of learning to ski.
From the apartment residence it is an easy and slightly downhill 7-minute walk to the centre of Tignes Le Lac and the tourist office on the main snow front. Tignes is a very lively ski resort with a great après ski and bar scene. A 24-hour a day ski bus service also connects the 3 Tignes resorts of Le Lac, Val Claret and Le Lavachet, so it is easy to enjoy dinner out in any of these resort centres.
Apartment Les Martins 3 is available on a self-catered basis.
