Christmas in the Mountains: What if It Were the Best Gift of All?
Have Christmas celebrations never really been your thing? For you, do the holidays mean getting away, fresh air, and new horizons?
So why not take advantage of this time to do things differently? Instead of staying home, rushing around to the stores, and wondering whose place you’ll spend the holidays at this year, take a step back. This time, head for the mountains, the snow, and the great outdoors.
After all, Christmas can also be a time to travel, to share, and to come together.
This year, break your routine and spend Christmas on the slopes. With snow-covered landscapes, ski runs, and the many activities offered at the resort, the holidays take on a whole new dimension.
Give a " Stay " instead of a gift
What if, this year, instead of giving yet another gift, you chose an ExplorHome “ Stay ”?
It’s an opportunity to get together with family or friends in a setting that’s different from everyday life. Treating yourself—or someone else—to a break also means stepping outside your comfort zone, setting off on an adventure, discovering new landscapes, new local specialties, and—why not?—new ways of life.
In Tignes, your day might start with a day on the slopes, continue with a Savoyard fondue, raclette, or tartiflette, and end cozy and warm in the comfort of your apartment.
Beyond that, a Stay is a gift that doesn't end the moment you open the package.
It is experienced before, during, and long after.
We picture the start of the trip, look forward to the getaway ahead, and then enjoy those few days to the fullest. And once we’re back home, what remains are the photos, the stories, and the memories of a memorable descent or an evening spent putting the world to rights.
Ultimately, it's a gift that doesn't take up space in a closet, but finds its place in our memories.

Breaking with tradition—not your ankle, but tradition!
For some people, spending the Christmas season in the mountains means straying a little from their usual routine.
To start with, change your surroundings. Get out of your comfort zone. Go on a trip with your family, friends, or just the two of you. And above all, do something different.
Instead of asking the usual question, “Which family member’s house will we spend the holidays at this year?”, why not all go somewhere else together?
In Tignes, the days leading up to Christmas take on a whole new rhythm. A morning on the slopes, a ski lesson in Tignes to hone your technique, a well-deserved break with a hot chocolate or mulled wine, a few hours of relaxation, a stroll through the resort, or even a torchlight ski run…
And during this time of year, the Christmas events in Tignes add a touch of magic to what are already busy days. Find the list of events and activities to enjoy during the 2026–2027 winter season here.
As for the snow, the landscapes are draped in their most beautiful white blanket, giving the resort that special atmosphere that people come here to experience at Christmas.
To fully enjoy all of this, you still need to find the right place to stay. A warm and cozy place to stay in Tignes for Christmas lets everyone relax in comfort after a day outdoors.
Besides, everyone can enjoy their “ Stay ” in their own way. While some people are unwrapping their gifts one by one at the foot of the tree, why not hit the slopes instead ?
After all, nowhere is it written that Christmas Day has to be spent in slippers around a table.
Getting to Know Each Other Better
This may be one of the best things about spending Christmas in the mountains: finally having time to get together… without necessarily having to do everything together.
Some go skiing, while others prefer to sleep in a little longer. Some head out to explore the resort, while others relax in the apartment.
Everyone spends the day as they please, then everyone gets together in the evening to share a meal, recount their adventures, and laugh about the day’s mishaps. Ski enthusiasts can hit the slopes or book a ski lesson in Tignes, while those who prefer to take it easy can opt for a dog-sled ride, a snowshoe hike, a winter activity, or simply soak up the resort’s charm.
Once everyone has had their own moment, the reunion takes on a whole new meaning.
And at ExplorHome apartments, the idea is precisely to enjoy the comfort of a place of your own after a busy day: cooking together, taking the time to chat, having a drink with good company, or simply enjoying a cozy evening indoors.
Renting an apartment in Tignes in December means more than just that: it means having your own cozy space to unwind, spend time together, and enjoy the holidays at your own pace.

Tignes for Christmas: Something for Everyone
Whether you’re a winter sports enthusiast or just looking to get some fresh air at high altitude, Tignes lets you tailor your vacation to your own pace.
The resort is, of course, an ideal playground for ski and snowboard enthusiasts, but the mountain is more than just the slopes.
There’s no shortage of things to do: take the time to explore the resort, enjoy the Christmas festivities in Tignes, treat yourself to a wellness retreat, or simply enjoy watching the snow fall from your apartment.
No need for a rigid schedule: vacations are meant to help you slow down.
And during the holidays, ExplorHome accommodations let you recapture that feeling of being “at home”—having your own space—even while you’re away.
In the end, everyone creates their own Stay however they like. And perhaps that is the greatest gift of all.
Apartments for Every Kind of Family
Small studios for a getaway for two, apartments for families, or spacious accommodations to bring together young and old: in Tignes, ExplorHome offers a variety of lodging options to tailor your Stay to your preferences.
It’s the perfect way to bring several generations together, reconnect with loved ones, or simply treat yourself to a few days in the mountains without having to choose between comfort, freedom, and quality time together.

Our tip: Why not take a break in Albertville?
On the way to Tignes, why not take advantage of the trip to stop for a quick break in Albertville?
A night in one of our two studios can be a chance to take a break from the road, relax, and ease into your vacation before heading to the mountains the next day.
A simple and practical step to keep your commute from turning into a race against the clock.
Then, on to Tignes: the mountains draw nearer, the scenery changes, and, little by little, the snow begins to appear.
The vacation is already starting.
This year, give the gift of an experience
After all, spending Christmas in the mountains doesn't necessarily mean giving up on Christmas.
It's simply a matter of coming up with it in a different way.
There's no need to repeat the same traditions every year. Nor is there any need to choose between spending time with family and taking time for yourself.
We can get together for a good meal after a day on the slopes. Share a hot chocolate after a walk in the snow. Laugh together about the falls we took that day. Or simply enjoy the pleasure of being somewhere else, together.
So this year, instead of a gift to unwrap…
How about giving the gift of a " Stay " experience?
A few days in Tignes, a stop in Albertville, snow, fresh air, and—above all—memories to take home.
Because sometimes the best gifts are the ones you can't wrap.
