Kalinda

4 stars

Standing bang at the entry to Tignes Les Boisses 1850 and the Espace Killy ski area is are the Kalinda Village Apartments which give the same fantastic CGH facilities, but in a really relaxed family-friendly way.Walking into the comfy and rustic reception alone with its pool table, soft toys dotted around and communal X-Box console tucked away around the corner certainly gives this impression straightaway.The slopes are a 1 minute or so walk away from the hotel and then a short green ski down to the nearest lift, not troublesome for even the most modest snowploughers. The nearest bars and restaurants also are right next door at the top of this slope, making après near enough instantaneous when you’re done for the day.One of the Kalinda Village’s biggest strengths is the incredibly large pool area which makes room for a 19m pool and a playful kids pool next to it complete with monkey and snake fountains, water toys and a slide. Singles, couples and older guests are well catered for too with two Jacuzzis, two saunas and two hammams also within the O Des Cimes spa complex.
