New for winter 2013/14 with Marmotte Mountain

Oct. 29, 2013 - PRLog -- NEW CHALET: 2013/14 is the first winter season for Marmotte Mountain Libellule (http://www.marmottemountain.com/chamonix_chalets_Libellule.html), a new luxury chalet right by Les Grands Montets in Argentière in the French Alps. Spacious, and spread out over four levels, Libellule is a six-bedroom/six-bathroom chalet. Highlights of the new property include a large glass solarium with fantastic views of the Mont Blanc range, a balcony with an outdoor Jacuzzi, an indoor sauna, a spacious open-plan living room with wood-burning stove and a mezzanine area with TV/Nintendo Wii. On top of all this, the chalet is run by a two-staff team, with chefs having worked in the likes of The Savoy’s River Restaurant, Hix and Moro in London. As with all Marmotte Mountain chalets, guests also have full use of a concierge service which caters to every guest’s need, whether it’s arranging ski touring, private lessons, child-care or non-ski activities.

The snow-safe resort is great for skiers of all abilities: experts will enjoy Les Grands Montets’ long steep slopes and trying out the area’s excellent off-piste; intermediates have a huge range of runs to try across the whole valley – the unlimited lift pass covers Switzerland (Verbier) and Italy (Courmayeur) too; and beginners are close to the nursery slopes at Les Chosalets and its excellent ski schools.
