Acquiring a chalet in Tignes means gaining access to a rare way of life: at the heart of a 360° natural amphitheatre, at an altitude of 2,100 metres, glaciers, a world-renowned ski area and preserved mountain heritage come together, with the slopes rising to over 3,400 metres. From the Le Panoramique restaurant, perched at 3,042 metres, the view over these glaciers ranks among the most striking in the resort.
The Forbes Global Properties network finds here, through FGP Swiss & Alps, a dedicated partner for prestige real estate. Owning a chalet within this ski area shared with Val-d’Isère, opening onto two glaciers, means entering a market where buildable land remains scarce and where mountain planning regulations durably limit the renewal of the property stock.
Set in Savoie, within the Vanoise massif and the Tarentaise valley, the Tignes-Val d’Isère ski area (formerly Espace Killy) brings together two complementary resorts around two glaciers and more than 300 kilometres of pistes, from green slopes to black runs, complemented by two snowparks and 44 kilometres of cross-country trails. This ski continuity, rare on such a scale, sets Tignes apart among the great Alpine ski areas.
Having become an international destination in the 1970s, Tignes was named “most sporting town” by L’Équipe in 2008, a recognition that confirms its appeal well beyond the winter season alone.
Many chalets in Tignes change hands before they are even publicly listed for sale. FGP Swiss & Alps is one of these privileged intermediaries who retain direct access to such opportunities, far from platforms open to the general public.
Les Brévières, Tignes 1800: the rediscovered charm of old Tignes
At 1,550 metres, close to the dam, Les Brévières retains the atmosphere of an authentic mountain village, with its traditional wood and stone chalets and its relaxed pace, far from the bustle of livelier resorts.
Tignes 1800, opened in 2013, embodies another facet of the resort: a revived village built around a church rebuilt to its original design, with direct ski-in/ski-out access to the slopes.
Two addresses, two distinctly different mountain experiences, between preserved authenticity and contemporary comfort. The other neighbourhoods are Le Lavachet, quieter, Le Lac, the beating heart of Tignes, and Val Claret, known for its lively atmosphere, each offering direct access to the slopes at altitudes close to 2,100 metres.
Investing in a chalet in Tignes builds a lasting family asset, a store of value to pass down from generation to generation, in keeping with the preserved authenticity of Les Brévières.

What is the difference between Les Brévières and Tignes 1800?
Les Brévières offers the authenticity of a traditional village at 1,550 metres, while Tignes 1800, opened in 2013, offers ski-in/ski-out access in a more contemporary setting.
How can I find a chalet in Tignes that isn’t available on the public market?
The network and discretion of FGP Swiss & Alps provide access to chalets for sale that are never listed online.
Which neighbourhood in Tignes is best for ski-in/ski-out access?
Val Claret offers the most direct access, with lifts to Grande Motte and La Tovière ideal for buyers who place skiing at the centre of their project. Tignes Le Lac is an excellent alternative, particularly around the snow front and the Les Almes and Le Bec Rouge areas, with a more developed village life. Le Lavachet appeals for its tranquillity while still offering ski-in/ski-out access, at the cost of a less central location. Tignes 1800 and Les Boisses also offer ski-in/ski-out access, but remain a secondary choice for those seeking a direct route from their chalet to the heart of the ski area.
