Chalet Marie, Samoens

6 bedrooms, sleeps 2-12 people

   
   

Chalet Marie is a traditional Savoyard chalet which was recently modernised, while retaining its original charm, and offers a fantastic warm and comfortable base for a multitude of activities throughout the year. It nestles in a quiet hamlet only 1km from the pretty village of Samoëns and has magnificent views of the Giffre Valley. It is ideally located 800m from each of the lifts and is on the free ski bus route.

The warm, comfy and spacious sitting/dining room has an impressive log burning fire. Here you can relax with afternoon tea, then an aperitif and canapés before enjoying a wonderful home cooked dinner, and whiling away the rest of the evening in the company of your fellow guests. French windows lead on to a generous balcony stretching round most of the building and from here you can enjoy magnificent views of the Giffre Valley and surrounding mountains. There is a separate TV room (satellite television) and a plentiful supply of books, videos and DVDs for guests to use. The chalet is WiFi enabled. The bedrooms with their large beds and ensuite facilities have toiletries and a hairdryer provided. The sauna suite provides a great opportunity to soothe aching muscles and the games room can be used to keep fit or as a play area for children.

Samoëns
(winner of the 2009 Best Small Resort in Hardy's Skiing and Snowboarding Guide) is a lovely village, situated in the magnificent Giffre Valley of Haute Savoie. It is the only ski resort in France to be listed as 'Monument Historique' and retains the qualities of a real French village. Much has been done to make it an attractive holiday place without destroying its very important historical and cultural features. The Grand Massif (which also includes Flaine, Le Carroz, Morillon and Sixt Fer à Cheval) offers 265km of pisted runs as well as a vast off-piste area with terrain to match all abilities.
