CosyRefuges - Le Refuge des Marmottes ***: 2-bedrooms apartment, 40m², top-level

In the heart of the Vars-Les-Claux ski resort, at an altitude of 1850m, Le Refuge des Marmottes *** welcomes you for a magnificent stay in the sunshine of the Southern Alps.

Located in a beautiful luxury residence adorned with wood and stone (L'Ecrin des Neiges), Le Refuge des Marmottes *** is ideally placed in the resort, and 150m from the “Point Show” shopping center where you'll find :
- In winter: the ski slopes and ski schools (ESF and ESI);
- In summer: the Vars swimming pool, tennis courts and an excellent accrobranche;
- All year round: cinema, sports equipment rental stores, bars, terraces and restaurants.

A lovely hiking trail starts at the foot of the residence. For thrill-seekers, the Caribou toboggan run (summer/winter) is also just a stone's throw away. At Le Refuge des Marmottes ***, you don't need to take the shuttle bus, and you don't need your car: it can stay in the basement of the residence throughout your stay.

On a high floor, in a quiet location, you'll enjoy a large balcony for lunch in the sun, or to relax on a deckchair, facing the mountains and a beautiful larch forest.

With a surface area of 40 m², and officially rated 3 stars, Le Refuge des Marmottes *** can accommodate up to 6 people. The apartment comprises a beautiful living room with open kitchen and sitting area, a first bedroom with a double bed, a second bedroom with two bunk beds, a bathroom (with bath and shower screen), and separate WC.

In authentic mountain style, Le Refuge des Marmottes *** is particularly well-equipped for maximum comfort: plenty of storage space, flat-screen TV, DVD player, CD/Bluetooth hi-fi system, crib, booster seat, hairdryer, traditional oven, microwave oven, 4 hotplates, fridge/freezer, toaster, kettle, coffee maker, Nespresso machine, and the essential raclette and fondue appliances for unforgettable evenings in the mountains.

Le Refuge des Marmottes *** offers you quality services.
Services included:
- Wi-Fi (individual box, with private network): so the whole family can stay connected during your stay;
- Enclosed garage with 16A socket: for secure parking, for recharging your electric vehicle, and for direct access to the apartment (particularly useful when a beautiful blanket of snow covers the resort);
- Ski locker: so you don't have to carry all your equipment into the apartment;
Optional:
- Sheets, towels and tea towels provided on arrival (30€/pers.): to avoid laundry and bulky luggage;
- End-of-stay cleaning (60€, free in high season): so you don't have to worry about household chores.

The magnificent Vars ski area offers you a wide variety of slopes at altitudes of between 1650m and 2750m, with every kind of exposure and every kind of atmosphere: wide-open spaces at altitude, world-renowned snowparks (for beginners and experts alike), the world's fastest kilometer run (over 250 km/h), fabulous off-piste (from the most accessible snowfields to the most challenging couloirs), and the beautiful larch forests that give the Forêt Blanche its charm.

At Le Refuge des Marmottes ***, you'll be welcomed by Lydie, who will take great care of you and do everything she can to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

Ne pas hésiter
Appartement bien situé dans une résidence calme, bien orienté, soleil le matin sur la vaste terrasse et à l’ombre l'après-midi ce qui est appréciable au retour des randonnées. Appartement à la décoration très sympa sur le thème de la montagne (les photos sont superbes), confortable et où il ne manque rien pour la vie quotidienne et les loisirs. De plus un grand merci à Antoine et Lydie pour leur gentillesse, leur disponibilité et leur grande réactivité quand un petit problème surgit (panne du grille-pain) et toujours dans la démarche d’amélioration. Bref nous avons passé un agréable séjour et nous recommandons vivement cette location au sein de cette station qui offre de multitudes loisirs.

La déco intérieure et la grande terrasse face aux mélèzes agrémentent le séjour. L'équipement de la cuisine est récent et de bonne qualité. La literie est confortable. Le garage fermé en sous-sol est très pratique également. Bref, à recommander. Solange

Location confortable et conforme à la description, situation géographique idéale, près des pistes et des principaux commerces. Lydie et Antoine sont à l'écoute et disponibles. Seul petit bémol, l'absence de wifi pendant notre séjour mais au final cela nous permis de faire une véritable coupure.

Super appartement de 2 chambres + salon, idéal pour famille de 4. Le propriétaire Antoine entretient ce logement avec soins et l'a aménagé avec bcp de bon sens (très très nombreux rangements) Et à moins de 300m des pistes, petits commerces et location de matériel, c'est idéal !
