Les Etincelles Promotes VoulezVous And Carte Blanche Offerings In Tignes
VoulezVous and Carte Blanche are two of the core brands belonging to Les Etincelles, a new – and fast expanding – collection of properties, all based in snow-sure locations in the French Alps, that includes hotels, chalets and residences; many are ski in-out and all are within 200 metres of the slopes.
The company currently has properties in Tignes and La Plagne, but Les Etincelles is aiming to have accommodation in another six high-altitude French resorts (namely La Rosière, Les Arcs, Les 2 Alpes, Alpe d'Huez, Val d'Isère and Val Thorens) within the next five years.
The partners, Nicolas Chatillon, Guerlain Chicherit, Thibault de Saint Martin and Arnaud Viotte state:
"We are proud to present "Les Étincelles". By combining top-of-the-range service, eco-responsibility and creativity, we offer unforgettable mountain experiences in guaranteed snow destinations... We have thought of the mountain in a different way, combining luxury and respect for the environment, and we are motivated every day by the desire to amaze our clients. We want to make the mountains a new art of living."
Guerlain Chicherit added: "The mountain is an experience and happiness like no other. It is also, for those who observe and listen to it, a teaching, a source of solutions to so many contemporary issues - starting with global warming, which threatens our valleys, our families, our ability to maintain a way of life that is dear to us and that we believe deserves to be shared because it has so much to offer the world. Making the mountains a new way of life, sharing their wonders and benefits, means promoting a sustainable economic activity. The mountains guide us and Les Etincelles answers this call. Our clients must benefit from this for an incredible experience and an unforgettable stay."
The group's ambition is to become the leader in eco-friendly luxury hotels in the Alps.
VoulezVous, Tignes’ newest hotel, has some great offers in place for Easter holidays, with complimentary upgrades thrown in, subject to availability.
VoulezVous, which opened in December 2021, is a totally NEW build property in a great location in Tignes Le Lac, being just 50 metres from the slopes and 200 metres from the lift. In stark contrast to much of the traditional accommodation in the resort, VoulezVous has funky contemporary interiors and styles itself as an entertainment hotel.
There is live music in the Icebreaker bar every Thursday to Saturday, the Il Savoia restaurant combines the best of French and Italian cuisines, and there are two private rooms that can be hired by families or groups for film nights or karaoke sessions. VoulezVous has its own Ski Salon where it’s possible to rent and buy equipment, as well as pick up lift passes, and there is a 600 square metre modern spa, complete with indoor pool and water jets, Jacuzzi, steam room and sauna, as well as a Technogym-equipped workout room, for post ski relaxation.
For those who prefer to stay in their own private accommodation when they ski, there is Carte Blanche, a range of exquisite chalets with striking, imaginative interiors that provide amazing levels of comfort, as well as a full concierge service. The chalets can be rented on a catered (B&B or half-board) or self-catered basis.
This Easter, Carte Blanche is offering a 25% discount on various chalets at the Black Diamond Residence, as long as the Excellence package is purchased. Excellence includes a VIP welcome, signature breakfast, afternoon tea “après-ski”, a daily selection of wines, evening meal, the assistance of the guest experience team, daily housekeeping services and a “Clarins” beauty package. Rates start at Euros 1500 (rather than Euros 2000) per night, with the chalets sleeping between 8 (Banksy Chalet) and 19 (Raven Chalet) guests.
