"As Americans, we had no experience with the area but trusted the exceptional reviews that chalet Marmot has. It was INCREDIBLE.Great views, easy check in process, close to 3 chair lifts for skiing. The chalet could comfortably take 3-4 families and we were happy there with out 2 families.Slightly off the beaten path, this place felt lived in but modern and beautiful, which is exactly what we had hoped for. Although further from an airport you'll have easy access (less than 5 minutes) to downtown Samoens, a large grocery store and restaurants. If your family are avid skiers or just want an authentic French Alps experience, I cant recommend this place enough. "
