About this property

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.

Chalet au top mais invasion massive de mouches

Le chalet est idĂ©alement situĂ©, avec une vue magnifique et Ă©quipĂ© idĂ©alement pour une grande famille. Nous n'avons manquĂ© de rien, sauf peut-ĂȘtre un 2Ăšme frigo. La piscine chauffĂ©e Ă©tait un gros plus, nous avons pĂ» en profiter chaque jour. Le seul point noir et qui est indĂ©pendant de la volontĂ© des propriĂ©taires est l'invasion massive de mouches interieure et exterieure, ingerable malgrĂ© l'achat de tous les produits existants contre les mouches et la fermeture des fenĂȘtres... comptez environ 30 minutes chaque soir pour s'en dĂ©barrasser dans les chambres avec une tapette... Les propriĂ©taires sont d'une extrĂȘme gentillesse et trĂšs rĂ©actifs, facilement joignables. La conciergerie est Ă©galement trĂšs arrangeante et soucieuse de notre confort. MalgrĂ© les mouches auxquelles nous avons fini par nous accommoder, nous avons passĂ© un trĂšs agrĂ©able sĂ©jour dans ce chalet spacieux, confortable et dĂ©corĂ© avec beaucoup de goĂ»t.

Un chaleureux séjour en famille

Le chalet Marvel est bien agrĂ©able: une grande piĂšce Ă  vivre vitrĂ©e, chaleureuse, des jolies chambres bien amĂ©nagĂ©es, une grande cuisine oĂč rien ne manque, des dĂ©corations de NoĂ«l bienvenues. Le calme environnant et la proximitĂ© des pistes de ski ont Ă©tĂ© trĂšs apprĂ©ciĂ©s!Le seul bĂ©mol qui nous a gĂȘnĂ©: une chambre borgne sans fenĂȘtres au rez-de-chaussĂ©, Ă  cĂŽtĂ© du local Ă  ski, sur laquelle nous comptions pour un couple. A deux, dans un espace cloisonnĂ©, cela nous a posĂ© problĂšme. Mis Ă  part cette insatisfaction, notre sĂ©jour s'est trĂšs bien dĂ©roulĂ© et nous en remercions nos hĂŽtes.

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.

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 lĂ€dt der Pool zum Schwimmen ein. Die Ausstattung ist insgesamt sehr gut, alles was man zum Kochen benötigt, ist in den SchrĂ€nken zu finden. Einziger negativer Punkt ist vielleicht die etwas laute Holztreppe, was uns aber ĂŒberhaupt nicht gestört hat.

séjour Samoens

TrĂšs beau demi chalet avec vue sur le Criou (trĂšs joli paysage de montagne ) et a proximitĂ© de la charmante petite ville de Samoens et pas trĂšs 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 activitĂ©s : parapente , rafting , canyoning .......... Pour ce qui concerne le chalet , nous Ă©tions 12 adultes et un bĂ©bĂ© de 10 mois , aucun soucis pour la vie en collectivitĂ© grĂące a la trĂšs grande piĂšce de vie , une cuisine bien Ă©quipĂ©e seul petit bĂ©mol , le rĂ©frigĂ©rateur un peu juste pour 12 en Ă©tĂ© lorsqu'il faut ranger boissons et nourriture , manque Ă©galement peu ĂȘtre un deuxiĂšme caquelon a fondue et un deuxiĂšme four a raclette pour les familles nombreuses , de belles chambres ( sauf une un peu moins sympa car elle est annoncĂ©e aveugle mais on ne passe pas ses journĂ©es dedans ) , 3 salles de bain et toilettes , une piscine 8 mx4 m qui malheureusement pour nous a eu un problĂšme de pompe et de chauffage juste avant notre arrivĂ©e et malgrĂ© tout le dĂ©vouement de notre sympathique hĂŽte Sophie celle ci n a pu ĂȘtre remise complĂštement en Ă©tat que le jeudi aprĂšs midi ( pas facile de trouver des artisans dĂ©but aoĂ»t ) et comme nous partions le samedi matin nous n avons pas vraiment pu en profiter surtout que la mĂ©tĂ©o n Ă©tait pas de notre cotĂ© pour la chauffer naturellement , c est notre seul petit regret d avoir rĂ©glĂ© une prestation qui n Ă©tait pas a la hauteur de nos attentes .
