What a wonderful spot. Top notch all the way !
The accommodations at Marmotte Mountain's Zenith 2 worked beautifully for our 3-family group. The kids loved the movie room and the adults the dining room when Jimmy was cooking. A great great stay that surpassed our expectations. Jon's help with guides, transfers, rentals and any other questions we had ensured it was smooth sailing.

Amazing experience
What an experience. We were a corporate group of 12 people and Jonathan and his team did an incredible job at hosting and making our trip an amazing experience. From the moment we stepped into the chalet to a roaring fire, and chilled beers, the attention to detail was second to none. Jonathan thought of everything and had great recommendations for ski hire, restaurants, transfers etc. I do have to say that Josh is one talented chef. The food produced for us whilst we were there was fantastic. Everyone commented on the dinner and that chocolate dessert!!
It was a memorable weekend.
…sehr zuvorkommende Vermietet. Objekt wie beschrieben und eine phantastische Gegend.
Haus ist am Rande in einem kleinen Vorort zu Chamonix und somit sehr ruhig gelegen. Das war sehr schön.

Luxury and Adventure both love good company
Jon and his staff gave us an absolutely phenomenal experience. It helped that the snow conditions were incredible, but the service provided by Marmotte Mountain was over the top. From the incredible food to the beautiful and immaculately upkept chalet, to the flexible and individualized daily planning, our 13-person group had a really amazing time. Each person felt valued and each of us was able to find exactly the experience we were looking for. The staff were 100% available and affable, and immediately became friends - it was a pleasure every day to come back from the mountain and see Niels and Rosie at the house. Overall, I felt like I was living the life of the billionaires for one week - I will definitely be coming back for more!

The ideal all inclusive ski vacation
This is my third time to Chamonix and third time working with marmotte mountain and I must say, every year gets better and better. Being the largest group this past year, we stayed in zenith 2 which sleeps up to 13 people. We had 13 adults and all slept very comfortably. From the comfort of the beds, the spaciousness of the chalet, and the large spa and comfortable jacuzzi, you could not ask for anything else. But we still got more. Our week included a phenomenal chef and host. Jon Law as usual did an excellent job coordinating all the details from the airport transfers to recommendations for ski areas each day as well as plenty of optional activities to fill an entire week. It only makes you want to come back for more. I always look forward to these weeks in Chamonix because I know it will be the most enjoyable and well planned out week of the year

Very tasteful, luxurious and cosy. Spoiled rotten!
While of a traditional style, the chalet was beautifully and recently renovated with stylish barn-board walls and oak plank underfloor heating, large cinema room, large sauna and yoga room, and new cedar hot tub. As an extraordinary touch, the owner bought a new ping-pong table to satisfy a particular guest desire.
The food was the best I've had in a chalet. It was prepared by a proper chef, Sam, and was fine restaurant quality - not the well-intentioned chalet girls' output we've enjoyed in the past. He thought to adjust the menu through the week as our desires changed and put a lot of personal character into the meals (elder flower he had picked in the summer, homemade puddings from his native Australia, etc). Laura was our hostess and prepared most breakfasts and co-ordinated restaurant bookings, advised on best skiing locations , etc. Together, Sam and Laura were a very enthusiastic, accommodating and cheery team.
Combined with some fabulous skiing while we were there, this was amongst the best ski holidays we've had.
5 stars!!

WOW - what an incredible ski trip!
We had the most divine ski trip staying at Marmotte Mountain Zenith (2) - the chalet is 1st class - the staff were so lovely and talented and relaxed and professional but friendly - really nice mix - but the food, the food, the food!!!!!!!!! Going out to restaurants on chef nights off is disappointing after experiencing the gourmet affair in the chalet. I could go on and on. And all of this is before even mentioning the skiing. Chamonix delivered! Fresh snow, off piste, tree skiing, Courmayeur in Italy - what an amazing selection of choices you have in 1 week! Well well recommended!

The best accommodation in the Chamonix area!
I was fortunate enough to stay in this chalet last season and can't recommend it highly enough. The property was exactly as as described, gorgeous wood paneling, open fire places, rustic, homily and the service from our hosts John and Jenny was to match, they were on hand to answer any queries we had and helped us organise lift passes, airport pick ups and drop offs etc.
The chalet is walking distance to the village but far enough away to give you a sense of being in the middle of the forest. Very very peaceful. Ideal if you want to disconnect completely from the outside world for a week or so. Getting to the Grands Montets lift was very easy we just strapped on the skis and coasted down there, going home was a bit more difficult especially after a long day on the slopes.
The best part of the chalet as far as I was concerned was slipping into the hot tub after a long day skiing, sipping on a beer and enjoy the views and the tranquility of the Alps. Can't wait to get back there this season.
