Home description
Chalet Marmotte is in the beautiful hamlet of L'Etelley, between the villages of Samoens and Morillon. It is built in the traditional savoyard farmhouse style.
The chalet has stunning views from all the rooms. It has four bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, magnificent double height living room, balconies, veranda, garden with heated swimming pool, garage and car port.
In designing the chalet our main aim has been to ensure that it is comfortably fitted, warm and cosy. We hope people will return from a day in the mountains and find that they are living in a really relaxing home. Around the house there is a garden with a heated swimming pool. There is a car port and also a garage, with direct access into house.
There are two bedrooms with double beds, a twin bedroom and family bedroom with bunk beds, single bed and truckle bed, though it may be possible to change the single bed and truckle bed for a double bed. In the sitting room there is a double sofa bed. We also have a cot for young children.
On the ground floor there is an entrance hall with heated storage area for ski boots. Off this is another room for coats with door giving access to garage, where skis can be kept. There is a washing machine and tumble dryer. Off the entrance hall is a double bedroom with en suite bathroom.
On the first floor there is a double bedroom with en suite bathroom. There is a magnificent double height living room with L shaped settee, sofa bed, footstool and dining table and chairs for ten. The large dining table can be extended to 3.5metres so that if the chalet is rented with its sister chalet next door large groups can eat together. There is a television with satellite tv, dvd player and cd player. The mezzine from the second floor looks down into the living area. The kitchen is well fitted for catering for large numbers. From the living room there is access to the garden and pool. Separate w.c.
On the second floor there is a twin bedroom and a family bedroom with bunk beds, single bed and a truckle bed which can be pulled out and used. Both bedrooms have doors to balconies looking out to mountains around. There is a large family bathroom. All the bathrooms in the chalet are well fitted and have showers above baths with shower screens.
The chalet has many balconies and also a large veranda with magnificent views. There is a large table and chairs on the veranda and also some garden furniture by the pool. A barbecue is also available.
We are able to offer you the services of a UK registered childminder for both day care and evening baby sitting..
We are able to offer our guests discounts with local ski hire and ski school companies.

The Rhone / French Alps / Haute-Savoie region
Samoens has been awarded the Coq D'Or for it being one of the most beautiful villages in France, it is also a "village fleurie". The chalet is within a couple of minutes drive of three telecabines to take you to the Grand Massif ski area, some 265kms of downhill skiing, suitable for all levels. There is extensive cross-country skiing and snow boarding. It is also possible to do heli-skiing, parapenting, ice-skating & dog sleigh rides.
In summer telecabines are open for walking and biking. White water rafting, riding, fishing & many other activities are available.
Grand Massif / Samoens area
There are numerous activities, both summer and winter in this area.
Winter days can be spent skiing but it is fun to break off for a change and go for a dog sleigh ride - the children will love it. As usual there are plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants to take a break at whilst skiing, but also some rather unusual ones, such as that at Lac des Gers, accessed via snowmobile. The skiing is suitable for all levels, from the 5km (green) Marvel at Morillon 1100 to the Cascades a 14km run around Sixt Fer a Cheval nature reserve, one of the longest in Europe. There is easy free parking at the telecabines, or you can take the navette bus, which stops at all the telecabines. The ski areas all link up so you can go up one telecabine, back another and then take the navette back to your car or chalet.
In the evening it is possible to go into Samoens where the ice rink stays open. It is fun to go out for dinner and then finish off with a skate!
The villages of Samoens and Morillon have many restaurants and bars where you can buy anything from a pizza to local savoyard dishes. Both villages have markets selling both local produce and gifts. Samoens has plenty of shops to wonder round.
The alps are now very popular in the summer as there are just so many activities. In addition to the ones mentioned above are adventure parks. These are parks where you can go on zip lines, tight rope between trees, etc. They are mainly aimed at children and adults over eight but in Morillon they have two additional areas, one for children from 3 and another area for 8 - 16 year olds.
Horse riding is very popular and it is also possible to hire a donkey. These can be hired for as little as an hour to overnight. If you are planning a long walk in the mountains you can take the donkey with you to carry your gear.
For day trips there are the nearby towns of Chamonix, Annecy and Les Gets. It is also worth visiting Yvoire a small medieval village on Lac Leman.
How to get there
Chalet Marmotte is less than an hours drive from Geneva airport or 7/8 hours drive from Calais. To drive from Calais is very easy as it is motorway all the way to Cluses at the bottom of the mountain and then a 20 minute easy drive up to the chalet.
