Ask a questionAbout Rachel Thomas
After having enjoyed a few ski seasons in my early twenties and a number of ski holidays with my now husband we decided to leave London for 6 months and headed to Tignes the winter after we got married. We had such a good time that we decided to buy a property and make it our winter home for the next 2 years. With the arrival of our son and 2 years later our daughter we decided to base ourselves back in the UK and now spend our holidays each winter and summer in Tignes enjoying an active outdoor lifestyle. It is a great place to ski, the locals are very friendly and welcoming and the resort has so much to offer. We hope that you enjoy staying in our home and have as much fun on the slopes as we do. Any questions - please just ask!
Rachel Thomas purchased this apartment in 2006
Why Rachel Thomas chose Le Lavachet
We bought this property for it's location and size. As soon as you enter the apartment it feels light and spacious with large floor to ceiling windows to capture the views. Offering a large master bedroom with ensuite bathroom at one end of the apartment and a bunk room with another bathroom next door you can have some space between parents and children or couples and friends. The open-plan kitchen dining area is very sociable allowing everyone to interact whilst cooking, eating and relaxing on the sofas. Roches Rouges C is located on a quite road with very little passing traffic so you will not be disturbed in the evenings. We are positioned next to the piste, close to the underground car park, bakery, shops, bars and bus stop. Even though we are on the first floor, the basement is below us, so we do not benefit from a heated apartment below. The heating is controlled for the building as a whole, so it can be on the cool side - plug in heaters are available for your comfort.
What makes this apartment unique
You can ski in and out of this property, if the snow is really good and the road hasn't been ploughed you can even ski to the door! If your legs are feeling a little weary you can take the free bus to the end of the road on your return home and enjoy a hot bath. We don't allow all male or female parties to rent the apartment and limit groups to a maximum of 6 so that the space feels homely and comfortable for all our guests. We have a great agency that help us care for the property and assist you during your stay if there should be any concerns. There are 2 balconies with large views of the surrounding mountains. The kitchen is well equipped with a large fridge freezer, full sized oven, dishwasher, washing machine and microwave to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The apartment is located within easy access of all that you will need during your stay but it is also in a quiet location away from any noise or disturbances. The extensive skiing area will keep you busy throughout your stay with different levels of runs to suit all abilities. The local restaurants offer delicious food and all establishments speak English if this is your preferred language.
