fr SEE WHO’S PROVIDING THE SPARK FOR LES ETINCELLES?
Les Etincelles, French for sparks, is a high-end hotel group managing a collection of hotels, chalets and residences in the Alps with the guarantee of abundant snow during the winter season and promoting a new way of life in the mountains all year round. We are currently operating in 6 high-altitude ski resorts such as Tignes, Val d’Isère, La Plagne, Les Arcs, L’Alpe d’Huez and Val Thorens.
Our project was officially launched in September 2021 with Tignes’ very own former freeride-ski-champion-turned-racecar-driver Guerlain Chicherit, and his associates, to set a new benchmark for high-end hotels and sustainable hospitality in the high mountains.
OUR OFFER
Les Etincelles welcomes its guests in premium accommodation thought and designed by renowned architects: Take a refreshing break at the VoulezVous hotel in Tignes le Lac, a 5* hotel curated to offer a fulfilling (re)creative holiday, including music events, karaoke boxes, and its refined cuisine bringing together Transalpine specialities and Savoie favourites. Discover a more intimate and soothing atmosphere at the Carlina hotel in Belle-Plagne, right in the heart of the Paradiski ski area.é
The CARTE BLANCHE chalets are part of the group’s luxury brand designed to explore mountain life without limits and all reimagined to meet contemporary aspirations.
Les Etincelles has created Le Strike at Tignes with a programme of national and international artists, in a 1,200-seat venue that has been completely renovated. Come and dance with us all season long!
OUR SIGNATURE SERVICE
Les Etincelles breathes a new life into the high-mountain leisure experience thanks to its dedicated teams and bespoke service while fostering a creative environment and setting up new projects with sustainability in mind. Our collection includes 13 hotels, 17 Carte Blanche chalets, 10 residences and 18 restaurants.
A sustainable approach
The group’s development is carefully thought out to foster a healthy economy in the mountains thanks to dozens of environmentally friendly and socially-forward projects including initiatives to promote renewable energies, the use of wood pellet boilers, solar panels, high-efficiency heat pumps, very low-emission constructions, durable design in harmony with the local environment and the natural elements (weather, snow,…). We support local sourcing of talents and produce, removing single-use plastics and recycling used waters…ambitions shared by the founders who see the need to meet tomorrow’s challenges with a dynamic approach of CSR (corporate social responsibility) and concrete measures with solidarity in mind.
To follow through on its commitment to the ecological transition and demonstrate that eco-responsibility is a priority, the Group has joined the CoqVert Community, launched by Bpifrance in collaboration with ADEME and the French Ministry for the Ecological Transition.
A sustainable employer
We go above and beyond to provide our employees with high-standard accommodation nearby, and offer training programs and hotel and catering management courses to promote the local industry, hospitality and restaurants supporting local know-how…We also set ambitious goals for all our locations and a strong CSR and job creation drive.
A group that supplies many jobs for the local community.
The company continues to grow and looks to do so alongside 50 to 150 more permanent collaborators and 500 to 2000 seasonal workers all accommodated close to their work location with carefully thought-out living conditions.
