Chalet description 

Marmotte Mountain Hideaway is a beautifully located 4 bedroom chalet, sleeping 9 people comfortably.  It is built to a great high end finish with the added luxury of having a heated indoor swimming pool and sauna located in the downstairs basement.

The property is less than two years old so all the features are in perfect condition.  There are 2 bedrooms downstairs and 2 bedroom upstairs, all with use of their own bathroom.

The chalet comes fully equipped with tv/dvd with cable connection, free wi-fi internet connection, underfloor heating, large kitchen with all mod cons, downstairs there is a very comfortable leather sofa bed in the lounge that is capable of sleeping 2 additional guests if required and upstairs there is a separate playing area for children.

The downstairs living area opens up onto a quiet wooden deck whilst the upstairs living area has use of its own balcony with spectacular views of the Grand Montets resort.

Best of all, as mentioned above, the property also has the added luxury of having a heated indoor swimming pool and a Swedish style sauna located in the downstairs basement – what better way to relax after a hard day on the mountain.

Guests also have free use of the extensive dvd library provided and there are a variety of board games freely available.

Location 

Marmotte Mountain Hideaway has a fabulous location, situated less than 100 metres away from the Grand Montets ski lift station in Argentiere.  A huge highlight of the location is that guests have the luxury of being able to completely ski in and ski out, quite a rare privilege in the Chamonix Valley.

Better still, the Argentiere ski school and the Panda Club ski school for kids are located even closer, with the Panda Club utilising a ski slope that is part of the back garden of the chalet.

Marmotte Mountain Hideaway also provides those who enjoy going for beautiful walks into the forest great opportunites.  Spectacular walking tracks are located just at the rear of the chalet.

For kids, the chalet provides lots of great after ski activities.  Sledding can be enjoyed on the gentle slopes that surround the chalet, snowman built in the back garden of the chalet and the indoor heated swimming pool is at your disposal.

To access the village, a 5-10 minute walk takes you into the town centre of Argentiere.  Argentiere village has a great range of bars and restaurants, a supermarket, a newsagent, a pharmacy and many other specialty shops catering to a wide range of needs.
