Overview: chalet description: Penthouse Chalet Marie-Paradis description

Sleeps: 6 Guests.

On the third floor of the Val d'Arve residence is the Penthouse Chalet Marie-Paradis. The location cannot be bettered as it is on the Rue de Dr Paccard in the centre of Chamonix in a lovely chalet-style building, decorated with lots of wood and classic Alpine designs.

The chalet sleeps 6 and is catered independently. Occupying the top (third floor) of the residence which is accessed by stairs and a lift. There is a small hallway between this chalet and its neighbouring Jacques and they are sole occupants of the top floor. This creates the exclusive atmosphere of these penthouse chalets and they are suitable if larger groups of 12 wish to take them both together.

Both chalets have a lounge and dining area with balcony and views of either Mont Blanc (Marie-Paradis) or up the valley to the Col de Balme and Le Tour (Jacques).

All of Chamonix's amazing array of restaurants, shops and bars are on the doorstep. As the balconies do not overlook the street and all other windows are 'velux-style', this enhances for this chalet the air of exclusivity above the main hub of Chamonix and no noise!

We are sure that this unique and high quality chalet in such an amazing location will prove very popular with guests so early booking is recommended.

The legendary 17km Chamonix Valley is located in the north-west Alps nearby the Swiss and Italian borders.

It's said to be the world capital of mountaineering and skiing, functioning as a holiday destination all...
Having hosted the first-ever Winter Olympics in 1924, Chamonix is a Mecca for advanced skiers worldwide (even James Bond was here in The World is Not Enough). There really is an endless amount to discover, especially for the more capable.

Because of the superb advanced terrain, it's often wrongly assumed that Cham' serves novices poorly. There are 4 great beginner areas: one in the to...

"Couldn’t fault it – comfy, clean, fantastic host"

Ms Macdonald, Tain
5/ out of 5
I’d have no problems staying in this chalet again. It’s in the centre of the town itself, for non skiing it’s ideally located as it’s on the main street above a ski shop near all the shops, bars and restaurants. There were some queries about noise from the streets, which we had one night but generally it wasn’t an issue. Inside is a typical wooden chalet and everything is very clean and tidy. It wasn’t luxurious – it’s not somewhere you walk in and go wow!... but we knew the kind of standard we were getting. The host was very nice and she looked after us very well. There were three separate bedrooms, two on the same level as the dining room and kitchen and ours which was up at the top. We just had one of the rooms which was quite big, there were beams running through which were OK once you remembered they were there! The food was fantastic, all the meals were very, very good. Every night she made us different drinks and canapés followed by a lovely 3 course meal – I couldn’t fault it. In the mornings you could have whatever you wanted, in general, it was more of a continental thing laid out with cereal, croissants and Danish pastries. If you wanted a cooked breakfast like sausages, eggs or porridge she’d make that – nothing was too much for her. Wherever you stay in Chamonix you have to take a bus to get to the slopes but the bus stop was only 50-100 yards away from the chalet. The only little downside is that this walk is quite steep but it’s not long – if it was icy it would be a bit dodgy but they seemed to be very good at getting rid of the snow and ice on the street, so it wasn’t really an issue. Once you were on the bus, it depended where you wanted to ski and could take either 10-15 minutes or half an hour.
