Chalet Montana Airelles

We loved Montana Chalet Airelles and would recommend it! The location was superb being practically ski in/ski out. You either did a small traverse to come down right at the building or walked 100 metres down the road to the restaurant where you could access Skilift Almes direcly. The Spar mini-supermakrye was downstairs so if you were cooking for yourselves (as we like to do), you could nip down to get some ingredients so easily. Intersport ski shop was across the road. It was 2 mins walk to the Maison de Tignes (main lift area). The apartment was super and, as others have said, it is ideal for 6 people but could be a little but too small for 8 people. It had three good sized bedrooms, all en suite with shower and basin. Plus a small bunk room which is only really suitable for kids (there was no cupboard space there). There was also a main bathroom with a spa bath as well as two separate loos. One of the bedrooms was larger and slightly smarter than the others (full bathroom with toilet) so two couples with kids would have to decide which couple had the better bedroom. Small things: Kitchen is well equipped but small and so only really suitable for one person using it at a time. But we cooked 6 out of 7 nights and it was fine The sitting capacity is really only ideal for 5 or 6 people. I think they should add another sofa or at least one more comfy chair to increase the sitting capacity. There is more than enough space! Sauna and Spa We used the in-apartment sauna 3 times and enjoyed it very much. We also walked up the hill to the main hotel to use the main spa facilities which we also really liked. (At least it was downhill on the way back!) We like having access to spa facilities when in an apartment and this was one of the attractions of Chalet Airelles. Thanks so much for a perfect stay! all the best Kate
