Facilities
Downstairs, the large open log fireplace is the centrepiece to the open plan living area, with heated flooring. Comfortable sofas and sitting chairs are placed to enable you to soak up the beautiful forest surroundings. During the evenings, guests can enjoy the chalet's in house cd player, DVD player (with extensive DVD library) or use the variety of board games that are freely available.
Two mountain streams flow past either side of the chalet, greatly adding to the ambience of being tucked away in a real mountain retreat hideout. An outdoor hot tub has been installed adjacent to one of these mountain streams so guests are able to get out and really enjoy the amazing views and beautiful surroundings of the chalet, all from the comfort and warmth of the hot bubbles.
Location
Ideally situated in the 18th century Savoyarde village of Argentiere, it would be difficult to find a better located chalet throughout the entire Chamonix valley. Set back from the village centre, in the lush surroundings of French pine forest, Marmotte Mountain Retreat is a luxury mountain paradise and place of immense beauty for all who visit.
Not only are guests spoilt with the gorgeous forest setting, Marmotte Mountain Retreat is also only a short stroll through the narrow, winding lanes to the supermarket, restaurants and bars of Argentiere. For ski enthusiasts, you can also access Grand Montet's home trail from the chalet, located only a short distance away, with the possibility of a ski in - ski out holiday experience.
