Marmotte Mountain Retreat is traditional and classical in design, a fine example of a true winter wonderland dream.
This magnificent luxury 4-bedroom catered ski chalet can sleep up to 8 guests. Marmotte Mountain Retreat can be found nestled in French pine forest in the 18th century old village of Argentiere. Two mountain streams flow past either side of the chalet, greatly adding to the beautiful ambience of being tucked away in a real mountain retreat. An outdoor hot tub sits adjacent to one of these streams, allowing guests to fully relax and enjoy the amazing views and stunning surroundings of the chalet. Marmotte Mountain Retreat is a mountain paradise and a place of great beauty for all who visit.
Marmotte Mountain Retreat is also a great place for children and families. The large private front garden provides endless opportunities for exploring, building snowman/snow caves and tobogganing.
