The Residence Le Taos is situated on the Lavachet piste so offering the benefit of a ski in and ski out position. From here just glide down to the Paquis or Chaudannes chairlifts. The smaller Lavachet lift is just outside and this takes you up a short way up so you can ski down to the centre of Tignes le Lac and our adult ski school meeting place.
In the mornings children in Sprite and Spritelet lessons are collected by our Esprit staff from the Residence and taken to the ski school meeting place to meet the ski instructor. Children are then returned to the residence at the end of the day or parents collect the children from the Evolution 2 Office if just morning lessons or lunch are booked.
The apartments themselves are well equipped and all have kitchenettes with hot plates, microwave, oven coffee machine, toaster and fridge. There is a supermarket in Tignes le Lac just 5 minutes' walk from the residence and a number of restaurants are close by if you want to go out and eat.
