Large charming chalet in samoens, private pool, 3 mns from Grand Massif ski lif

Our Chalet is built in traditional Savoyard style with a breathtaking and one of a kind view on the Criou moutain. Located in the municipality of Samoens in the hamlet of Etelley the chalet is in a quiet place 2 km from the centers of Samoens and of Morillon.
Marvel Chalet (Marvel is the name of the green slope on which all the locals learn to ski ) includes 5 bedrooms and a mezzanine that can comfortably accommodate up to 14 people .
It includes 1 bedroom with a double bed and a bathroom, 1 double bedroom sharing a bathroom with another bedroom with 2 beds, 1 bedroom with 2 single beds and 1 bedroom with 4 beds (1 single bed, 2 bunk beds and 1 extra bed) with an ensuite bathroom and a mezzanine with two single beds. All rooms are spacious with large closets.
The dining room’s table is expandable and big enough to allow for 14 person to enjoy a meal. The chalet has a large fully equipped kitchen open on a spacious living room. Being roomy and very light, the living room offers beautiful volumes with a height of 5 m under ceiling. The Chalet is nicely decorated in local style and cosy. 3 large balconies allow you to enjoy the view on the surrounding mountains.
The chalet is equipped just like our home: TV, games, DVDs, books, Wi-Fi , IPhone compatible speakers , oven and microwave, dishwasher, tumble dryer, washing machine, barbecue , coffee machines etc .
All linens, including towels and bath sheets in the summer for the pool are provided.
During the winter season, its ideal location near three ski-lifts (Samoëns (1.5 km), Vercland (0.8 km) and Morillon (1.5 km)) provides easy and direct access to Flaine Grand Massif ski area (altitude 800-2220 m, 265 km of slopes) and cross-country ski trails along the river Giffre . A shuttle to the ski lifts has a stop 300 meters from the chalet and allows teenagers to be fully independent. At 200 meters from the chalet, Remy will rent you skis.
In the summer, our private heated and secured swimming pool (8x4m) ,will allow you to enjoy the site and the sun with a view on the mountains . Sunbeds are provided, an outdoor table and a gas barbecue allow for meals in the garden.
The possibilities for wonderful walks or cycling / mountain biking are endless nearby. The access to downhill mountain biking trails is easy with Samoens ski lift. Special bikes for downhill sports or just for normal rides can be rented nearby. Guides and maps are available in the Chalet. Many shelters allow for mountain hikes or varied walks, the wonderful site of Sixt is 10 km from the Chalet, and the Chamonix valley is within 40 minutes’ drive.
Samoens is easily accessible by foot, bike - or cross-country skiing in the winter - following the path along the Giffre River. You will find Tennis courts, three small lakes offering opportunities for swimming or fly fishing, a horse-riding center, a mini golf, a ropes course etc available within 2 km. The arrival spot for paragliders (3 schools) is also nearby as well as the arrival for Giffre descents rafting.
The chalet is equidistant between the two golf courses (18 holes) of Les Gets and Flaine. Shops and restaurants are within 3 minutes by car. Climbing opportunities and a via ferrata are available to you within 10 minutes’ drive. For athletes, the road to the Col de Joux Plane (Tour de France cycling tour) awaits you within 5 km.
At any season in the year a person will be locally available to welcome you and help you during your stay if you feel the need; we are ourselves fully available to ensure you a pleasant stay in this wonderful area.
Rentals are from Sunday to Sunday and can occasionally be arranged from Saturday to Saturday. Rental price includes cleaning and local taxes.

lovely chalet - a couple of niggles
Generally a really nice place to stay. Roomy, good size bedrooms and well appointed. Plenty of parking and well positioned between Samoens and Morrillon. Owners need to sort out the lack of hot water for a big chalet when everyone wants to shower and the wifi is hit and miss.

Good ski trip
Challet is good for a family ski trip. Overall good condition. Everything worked and was along the expectations. Location - having a car is recomended - challet is between two ski gondolas (both more than 1km away). Although there is a ski-bus, we did not visit during high-season and buses did not go as frequently as desired (no buses after 5pm). Samoens or Morillon are the closest areas for groceries, restaurants, etc and both are 1,5-2 km walk - hence logistics can be a challenge.

Ideaal voor drie gezinnen
De communicatie met de eigenaar was duidelijk en op tijd. Inchecken en contact tijdens ons verblijf was prima. Heel fijne vakantiewoning mét groot zwembad, die gelukkig ook gesloten kon worden zodat onze kinderen er niet op eigen houtje in konden springen.

A Wonderful Stay
We are just back from a wonderful two-week vacation in this beautiful chalet. Coming from a more urban setting, the mountain views from the house are just stunning. Every day something new. We spent our days hiking, cycling, exploring Mont Blanc, Chamonix and Geneva and chilling by the pool. Sheer bliss. The house itself was cozy and although it’s starting to show a bit of wear and tear, it was perfect for us. The only issue we had was with the plethora of flies that came in if you left the windows and doors open. This was quickly resolved with the help of both Sophie and Christine, who ordered two fans to be delivered a few days later which made it possible to close the doors and still stay cool. Sophie, who checked us in, was very helpful and it was comforting to have someone to run questions by during the two weeks.The hostess, Christine, also checked in on us and was very attentive. All in all, we had a wonderful vacation here and highly recommend this accommodation!

Schönes Haus mit Pool und optimaler Lage
Das Haus ist am Fuße des Berges und bietet einen guten Startpunkt zum Wandern und Fahrrad fahren. Direkt danach lädt der Pool zum Schwimmen ein. Die Ausstattung ist insgesamt sehr gut, alles was man zum Kochen benötigt, ist in den Schränken zu finden. Einziger negativer Punkt ist vielleicht die etwas laute Holztreppe, was uns aber überhaupt nicht gestört hat.

séjour Samoens
Très beau demi chalet avec vue sur le Criou (très joli paysage de montagne ) et a proximité de la charmante petite ville de Samoens et pas très loin de l exceptionnel site du cirque de Sixt fer a cheval , a 45mn environ de Saint Gervais Les Bains donc endroit sympa pour toutes sortes de ballades ainsi que pour de nombreuses activités : parapente , rafting , canyoning .......... Pour ce qui concerne le chalet , nous étions 12 adultes et un bébé de 10 mois , aucun soucis pour la vie en collectivité grâce a la très grande pièce de vie , une cuisine bien équipée seul petit bémol , le réfrigérateur un peu juste pour 12 en été lorsqu'il faut ranger boissons et nourriture , manque également peu être un deuxième caquelon a fondue et un deuxième four a raclette pour les familles nombreuses , de belles chambres ( sauf une un peu moins sympa car elle est annoncée aveugle mais on ne passe pas ses journées dedans ) , 3 salles de bain et toilettes , une piscine 8 mx4 m qui malheureusement pour nous a eu un problème de pompe et de chauffage juste avant notre arrivée et malgré tout le dévouement de notre sympathique hôte Sophie celle ci n a pu être remise complètement en état que le jeudi après midi ( pas facile de trouver des artisans début août ) et comme nous partions le samedi matin nous n avons pas vraiment pu en profiter surtout que la météo n était pas de notre coté pour la chauffer naturellement , c est notre seul petit regret d avoir réglé une prestation qui n était pas a la hauteur de nos attentes . Excellent séjour malgré tout et chalet vraiment agréable .

Très beau chalet
Ce chalet est très bien situé au calme avec une vue magnifique. Il est très bien équipé pour la cuisine et très agréable. Nous avons passé un séjour à 6 personnes adultes. On pourrait facilement accueillir aussi 4 enfants en complément. Il est possible de déjeuner en terrasse au soleil. Le village est charmant et l'accueil du gérant était très chaleureux. Des vacances réussies !
