Marmotte Mountain Manor

Overview

Marmotte Mountain Manor in Argentière, Chamonix, offers a stay that feels grounded in both history and comfort. Set within a building that dates back to the 17th century, the chalet has retained much of its original character - exposed wooden beams, traditional stonework, and a slightly rustic layout that reflects its age. At the same time, it’s been thoughtfully updated, so you’re not sacrificing convenience for charm. The balance makes it easy to imagine settling in quickly, whether you’re visiting for a ski trip or a quieter mountain escape.

The chalet accommodates up to eight guests across four bedrooms, which makes it well suited to families or small groups. The shared spaces feel central to the experience: a cosy living area where you might gather after a day on the slopes, and a dining space that encourages long, relaxed meals. Picture your evenings here unfolding slowly, boots drying nearby, conversations stretching late and that satisfying tiredness that comes from a full day outdoors.

Outside, the garden adds another dimension. The Jacuzzi stands out as a highlight, especially after skiing, when stepping into  warm water while surrounded by cold mountain air would feel particularly rewarding. There’s also a terrace and BBQ area, ideal for more laid back afternoons or evenings when you’d rather stay in than head out.

Located in the heart of Argentière, the chalet is within walking distance of local shops, restaurants and ski access points. That proximity means you can easily dip in and out of village life while still enjoying a sense of retreat. Overall, it’s a place that combines practical features with a distinctive atmosphere, creating a stay that feels both easy and memorable.
