Apartment Le Grand Tichot A et B – Val Claret-18 by Interhome Overview

First Impressions

When I first arrived at Apartment Le Grand Tichot A et B – Val Claret-18 by Interhome, I’ll be honest — the name’s a bit of a mouthful, but the location immediately made up for any confusion. This three-star property sits right in the heart of Val Claret, which is actually the highest part of Tignes at 2,100 meters. You know what struck me most? The building has that classic Alpine apartment block feel, but it’s positioned so perfectly that you’re literally steps away from the Grande Motte glacier lifts.

The Apartment Setup

The apartment itself feels like staying in a local’s place rather than a typical hotel room — which makes sense since Interhome specializes in these kinds of self-catering properties. I mean, you get your own kitchen setup, which honestly saved me a fortune during my stay since eating out in Tignes can get pretty expensive. The space is practical rather than fancy, but everything you need is there. The furnishings are that functional Alpine style — think pine wood and mountain-themed touches that don’t feel too kitschy.

Location Advantages

Here’s where this place really shines — the location gets a perfect 10.0 rating from recent guests, and I can see why. You’re right in Val Claret’s center, which means the Funival (that’s the underground funicular) is practically on your doorstep. During ski season, you can walk to multiple lift stations in under five minutes. But even in summer, this spot works brilliantly because you’re at the base for hiking trails and the glacier skiing area. The parking situation is actually sorted too, which is huge in Tignes where finding a spot can be a nightmare.

Daily Life Here

What I really appreciated was how this setup lets you live like a temporary local. There’s a Sherpa supermarket literally around the corner, plus several equipment rental shops if you need gear. The apartment’s kitchen setup means you can grab fresh bread from the bakery and actually enjoy proper breakfasts before hitting the slopes or trails. Evenings, you’re walking distance to Val Claret’s bars and restaurants — though honestly, sometimes it’s nice just staying in with a bottle of wine and those incredible mountain views from the windows.

Why Guests Love It

This place gets an 8.0 rating overall, and couples particularly seem to love it here — I can understand that appeal. There’s something about having your own space in such a spectacular setting that feels more intimate than a standard hotel. The combination of that unbeatable location, the practical apartment setup, and the fact that you’re staying right where the action is makes it work really well. Sure, it’s not going to wow you with fancy amenities or room service, but if you want to experience Tignes like you actually live here rather than just passing through, this hits the mark perfectly.

Early hotels booking in Courchevel is essential during major events like the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup, as accommodations fill up quickly with visitors eager to experience the resort’s renowned luxury skiing and gourmet dining.
