As a bit of a fan of Samoens and The Grand Massif, I’m delighted to announce the arrival of this privately run catered chalet to our collection of Samoens accommodation!
Chalet Marie Stuart is in a superb location - situated mid-way between the main Grand Massif Express and the smaller lift at Vercland, which, as insiders know, doesn’t get the queues, and also delivers you higher up the slopes.
It’s not just about the location though, as the chalet itself is pretty good too!! Six ensuite bedrooms with Super-King beds, a sauna, Games and Exercise Room - and of course a spacious living room with warming log fire.
In the Winter months, it is available for catered chalet holidays, although subject to availability, the whole chalet can be rented on a self-catering basis. With weekly catered prices starting at just €395 / person, it offers great value, in a fantastic spot!!

Forget skiing – now there are 101 other magical reasons to holiday in the Alps
The typical British skier goes to the mountains s once or maybe twice a year and the prevailing view is there’s no point going Alps unless you are skiing. Certainly the majority of UK tour operators focus on the “ski” to promote their offer to the 200,000 or so Brits that head to the French mountain resorts annually.
But there’s a lot more to the Alps these days. Resorts are looking to “diversify“ with new activity offerings to appeal to an ever widening audience.
The top ones are doing very well in presenting these opportunities to independent holiday makers through attractive and comprehensive resort websites. Using these to plan your holiday – alongside our chalet bookings links - could lead you to a wholly different alpine holiday experience.
Here are the most exciting offerings
Chamonix Mont Blanc
In keeping with its “environmentally –friendly” profile , Chamonix is promoting a greater variety of “getting close to nature” experiences.
The ancient and silent snow shoe is now popular for people who want to discover the winter environment of the remotest and most unspoilt areas of the mountain. Snowshoe and pedestrian trail guides can be sourced through the Chamonix Mont Blanc website.
View our range of ski chalets and apartments in Chamonix Mont Blanc region
Portes du Soleil
The resorts of the Portes du Soleil region of the French Alps, comprising Morzine, Chatel and Les Gets offer a huge range of winter activities. Here are the ones easiest to locate and book
Morzine/ Avoriaz
Sledging - Indianabob offers a thrilling evening cable car/sleigh ride down treelined slopes to the village below. 22Euro per person. www.indianaventures.com
Heritage discovery - A Savoie guide takes you round the old village traditions, dwellings and history. There’s the history of skiing, a tour of the stables in Nants, at slate workshop and a chance to see cheese being made and matured at Morxine dairy. Find out more at www.morzine.com
Chatel
This swiss style scenic village is full of traditional architecture. Worth visiting for that alone, but its also a hot bed of spectator ski competition hosting the world’s top dog sledding race, FIS Europa Cup and the Montee du Lingua mountaineering skiing circuit (12 April 2009). Take part for 20 Euros per person (14 +) www.chatel.com
Les Gets
Another village that prides itself on tradition, Les Gets offers a great range of experiences for the non skier. Try hot air ballooning Long flight (hour) : 244 /pers.euros, snowmobile driving : 1/2 hour 40 euros or passenger: 1/2 hour 10 euros , mountain Skydiving: 355 euros; paragliding from 75 euros and dog sledding for families from 35 euros 1/2 day. Mush Mush! Exhausted? Try the Spa Sereni Cimes at Hotel La Marmotte where there’s a wonderful array of uplifting and anti-aging therapies on offer from cell revitalisation to sensorial colour saunas. Wow. Lets get to Les Gets…
View our selection of chalets in the Portes du Soleil
The Grand Massif
The ski area of the Grand Massif covers over 250 km of pistes, with one of the most consistent snow records in the French Alps.
Le Carroz /Morrilon
Being iced up there’s plenty of action on offer here with ice climbing – 75 euros, mountain adventuring (420 euro per day) ice quad biking (65 euros per hour) and skating (free on Wednesdays!).
Samoens
If you feel ready to try a new sport then Samoens is the place to head. The website promotes the new sport of “Slinding and Gliding” defined as “extreme physical efforts carried out with out any formal framework and the absence of competition”. Rather aptly there are no contact points offered. So pitch up at Samoens with a open mind and see what Slinding and Gliding is all about – and let us know - we’re most curious.
