Chardons Sophia is a modern ski chalet in Tignes Les Brévières with spacious and stylish accommodation featuring well-appointed bedrooms and excellent facilities including sauna, WiFi, satellite TV and panoramic outdoor hot-tub overlooking the village and lake. It’s perfect for après-ski drinks to soak away the day’s skiing efforts. The chalet is located in the ‘Hauts des Brévières’ area and is a short walk to both the village centre and the ski lifts. Direct access to the slopes is via the new Brévières Chalet Lift at the end of the road only 100 metres away. As with all our accommodation, the chalet is great value and offers skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts a top-quality chalet holiday at an unbeatable price.
Chardons Sophia is laid out over four floors with plenty of wooden beams and local stone on display. The very spacious living area has an open fire, tasteful furniture and access to a south-facing balcony overlooking the village and lake. The open-plan dining and kitchen area adjoins the living area and is stylishly decorated with ample room for everybody to eat together. On a split-level down from the dining room there is a wet-area with shower and WC for use with the sauna and the outdoor hot-tub which, again, enjoys views over the village and lake. The ground floor has one twin/double en-suite bedroom and the ski-storage area with heated boot-warmers. The first floor has three twin/double bedrooms, all with en-suite shower rooms with WC and all finished to a beautiful standard. The top floor has four bedrooms. The two eaves bedrooms share one bathroom with WC and the other two bedrooms share the other shower room with WC and can be used as a family room via an adjoining locking door if required. All bedrooms can be configured as twin/double rooms.
The chalet sleeps up to 17 people. If the whole chalet is booked by one group, the 17th bed is free of charge.
The chalet is run and catered by three experienced staff, one chef and two hosts.
As with all Chalet Chardons clients you will benefit from unbeatable deals on your ski and snowboard hire plus substantial ski-pass reductions.
The Chalet offers our premium chalet menu featuring a hearty breakfast each day with pastries and hot options, sumptuous home-made cake for afternoon tea and a delicious five-course evening meal served with quality French bottled wine on six nights. Enjoy extra touches such as a nightly cheese board, canapés and welcome drinks during the week. See our Food & Drink page for more details.
The chalet features hot-tub and sauna areas which are accessed from the central living/dining area. The sauna is built in the Scandinavian style with a ‘hot-coal’ system that water is poured onto to produce the steam, multi-level wooden benches and a pine interior. Located on an external balcony, the hot tub is perfect for a relaxing après-ski soak with a glass of wine whilst enjoying the picturesque views over the village and lake. Between the sauna and hot-tub there is a ‘wet-area’ with a shower for use before and after bathing, a small changing area and a WC.
Access to the lifts is found by walking 3 to 4 minutes down to the slopes or via the new elevator-style ski lift that comes right from the foot of the pistes to the end of the road (around 100m from the front door). Depending on conditions it is often possible to ski down to the main gondola lift in the mornings from the top of the elevator lift.
There is ample ski storage within the chalet with racks for skis, an area for suitcases and bags and a heated boot dryer/warmer.
Free parking is provided outside the chalets but this is somewhat limited and can be difficult should there be significant snowfall as the snowploughs need to get through. We recommend that guests park outside the chalet to drop off baggage and then take their cars to either of the large free parking areas at the North or South of the village where they will be safely dug out in the event of snowfall. If guests are arriving by public transport, it is a five minute walk up to the chalet from the bus stop. Most private transfer companies will drop you at the door of the chalets.
With this addition to our range of lodgings we are offering an alternative higher quality style of accommodation from Chalet Chardons but with the same great atmosphere, fun staff and informal environment and, of course, the same great value skiing and snowboarding holiday prices.</p?
You will benefit from all the advantages of Chalet Chardons clients with regard to cheap ski and snowboard hire, reductions in lift pass prices and access to our knowledgeable reps who will be able to organise your skiing and snowboarding holiday needs.
Chalet Sophia is available for rent either exclusively for larger groups or on a room-by-room basis. Our prices are per person per week for catered accommodation in the chalet. Prices vary according to the season, contact the UK booking line or by email for a quote.
Stayed here with a large group of our friends in March 2019. The food was great, with a varied menu each night. Portions were big, especially desert! They catered for everyone's dislikes and allergies etc. which was really impressive! The hosts were professional and friendly and always on hand to help with any queries. The ensuite room (no. 3) has a wardrobe and large chest of drawers, so plenty of storage.The lounge area could benefit from a few extra seats,but was homely and comfortable. The hot tub and sauna are perfect after a long day on the slopes.
17 of my friends and I stayed here for a week (came back today). We had an absolute blast and were spoilt rotten by the lovely team (Esra, Hannah & Kim). The food was amazing and in abundance. The chalet was great, lots of space and kept clean and tidy. I would definitely stay here again. Keep up the great work guys!
What an amazing time and what a beautiful place! Made all the better by the wonderful staff who went beyond the pale to always make us feel welcome! All the rooms were clean and tidy as well as having a great team to make sure we had as good a time as possible.
Can thoroughly recommend both this chalet and its staff and Chardons as a company. Graham and Kim were fantastic hosts, ably assisted by Hannah - they were friendly, helpful and unfailingly cheerful. Kim's food was the best we've experienced in many chalet holidays, with clever combinations of flavours. The wine was plentiful too! The chalet was very comfortable - the hot tub and sauna were a brilliant antidote to sore muscles. The entire Chardons team, including Manager Tracey, could not have been more helpful in accommodating our daughter at short notice - thank you again for solving a stressful situation, and making her welcome.

Our chalet food will be one of the highlights of the holiday. We believe that skiing and snowboarding should be about getting fresh air, exercise, thrills and spills… and then coming back and completely spoiling yourself!
Our chalets offer restaurant quality breakfast, afternoon tea and a five-course evening meal including canapés and a cheese board each evening served with complimentary French bottled white and red wine.
Breakfast includes a selection of French pastries, freshly baked baguette, preserves, yoghurt, fruit, choice of cereals, tea, coffee, juices, porridge made to order and a different hot option daily (for example, on one morning we offer sausage, scrambled egg & tomato; on another morning we offer bacon, fried egg, hash brown and mushrooms).
Afternoon tea is served from 4pm and consists of delicious freshly baked cakes, tea (PG tips), selection of herbal and fruit teas, freshly brewed coffee, hot chocolate and cordial, all available until dinner. Tea and coffee are available throughout the day and after dinner.
Dinner is served in a communal setting – as a 5-course meal with canapés and cheeseboard. Generous portions are served t ensure that you will always leave the table feeling full!
A packed lunch can be ordered for a small fee each day and will be prepared for you to pick up at breakfast if you are going on a day trip or just want to save money on the mountain.
Children, vegetarians, vegans and special diets are all catered for. Just let us know at the time of booking and the menu can be discussed further with your chalet team. If you have specific requirements (vegan, allergies, celiac) we would ask that you let us know sometime in advance so we can prepare and to bring any special foods with you as many of them can be very hard to source in France.
Chef’s night off is normally on a Wednesday or Tuesday when the hotel staff have some well deserved time off. Our staff will be happy to recommend some of the many excellent restaurants in the village.
