Yes - as I have stayed in it about 3 years ago. It's is very near where
the Pacquet and Chaudannes lifts set off "down the hill" from Lavachet. It
is near one part of the circular bus route from Lavachet to Le Lac.
From Google maps it may be on Route de La Ferme.

Its back windows overlook the starting point of the two lifts and the road up
to Tignes (which is about 100ft higher at that point)

Yes - out the front door and about 50 yards to the foot of the free beginners
lift. There is a stream just behind the chalet so, even though you can see
Pacquet and Chaudennes base stations from the back windows, you have to
go that way to actually get to them - you can ski down to these two
from about the foot of the beginners lift.
