Chalet Marigold is a superior chalet set in the perfect location, a couple of minutes walk from the piste and a five minute walk into the charming village of Ste Foy. The property is set on a hillside overlooking the Tarentaise valley with magnificent views of Mont Pourri. This 20 bed chalet was built by a master builder with every attention to detail.



On arriving at the chalet, you walk straight into the ground floor where you can park your skis and boots for the evening, knowing that in the morning they will be cosy and dry. The modern in-chalet lift will then take you directly to your room or straight into the very spacious and homely living room where you can enjoy your après-ski drink in our bar area or relax on the soft leather sofas in front of a roaring log fire whilst watching the sunset from the impressive panoramic south facing windows! All of the eight bedrooms are bright, very spacious and are named after local wines, some of which we serve at dinner. All the bedrooms have a TV/video station and the en-suite bathrooms have hairdryers. The bedrooms are furnished in local Savoyard style. We offer fluffy towels, comfy slippers and luxurious bathrobes. Access to the bedrooms is by lift or stairway.



Two large twin rooms, Crepy and Gamay are accessed from the first floor. One of these twins features click-together beds which can be made up as doubles. On the second floor there are three more large twins, Mondeuse, Chignin and Roussette together with a large double, Chautagne. Two of the twin rooms feature click-together beds which can be made up as doubles. Newly refurbished in January 2011 is Chautagne´s bathroom (see Picture Gallery). The lounge and bar, which boasts over sixty-six square meters of space in which to relax, takes up most of the third floor. The dining room and kitchen are conveniently adjacent.



On the fourth floor there are two large en-suite bedrooms with mezzanine floors accommodating bunk beds, ideal for families of four (with discounts applicable). Apremont is a double and Abymes is a twin.



The Sauna

The benefits of using our sauna are numerous. Not least because it is so relaxing and leaves your body soothed and your mind serene. It´s main advantage lies in the fact that it promotes sweating, helping the body to rid itself of toxins. It is also believed that exposure of the skin to heat stimulates the production of white blood cells and strengthens the immune system. The heat and humidity of the sauna also diffuses pain and relaxes tired muscles. It is also believed to improve blood circulation and breathing, promote weight loss (it burns about 300 calories per average session) and aid skin cleansing.



The Hot Tub

here is a fantastic Hot Tub on the south facing terrace as an alternative to or in addition to the Sauna, from where you can appreciate this truly special location whilst sipping a glass of champagne!



Your Chalet Hosts and Assistants eat dinner with you and live in self contained rooms on the lower ground floors. Chalet Marigold is a non-smoking chalet and ashtrays are provided on balconies for smokers. Please refer to the floor plans when booking as you may wish to select a particular room or floor.



Our chalets are suitable for individuals, couples, small or large groups or families and corporate breaks. Everybody is welcome! We can also offer a 2 week 2 resort holiday from a choice of La Rosière, Ste Foy, Les Arcs, Meribel and La Plagne.

We are as passionate about food as we are about skiing! You can be rest assured of consistently high quality, healthy, delicious meals with us. Almost all our food is homemade, including kiddie’s meals, the croissants are made by a French bakery and baked fresh in the chalet. We aim to provide you with nutritionally balanced delicious meals. We cater for all kinds of diets: vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free etc. just let us know your requirements on the Booking Form. If you have any food allergies, intolerances or dislikes, let us know as soon as possible so we can plan a lovely menu for you to avoid disappointment. We believe in steaming vegetables where possible to retain their vitamin and mineral content and garnish to enhance their flavours. All ingredients are bought locally with the minimum of packaging.



Breakfast

Breakfast is served from 8am to 9am with a choice of hot croissants, bread, jams and marmalades, a choice of cereals and hot porridge, a range of fruit yogurts and a delicious hot option (scrambled eggs, poached eggs, welsh rarebit etc).



Afternoon Tea

Afternoon Tea is self service available from 4pm with freshly baked cakes and something else very tasty (chocolate brownies, scones, flapjacks etc). There is also fresh fruit available at all times.



Dinner

Dinner is a stylish candlelit five course dinner party and we offer a hearty, wholesome meal. We know how important it is to eat well after a day on the mountain. Dinner commences at 7.30pm with aperitifs and canapés, followed by a tasty starter served at 8pm, a scrumptious main course, a dessert to die for and if you’re still hungry there’ll be a cheeseboard with local specialities to sample. Your meal will be served with some delightful local Savoie wines direct from a local vineyard as well as some classic wines from all over France, selected after lots of diligent tastings, the perfect accompaniment to your meal. We have always had compliments about our food so be prepared for mouth-watering food every day. We run the very successful Ultimate Chalet Host Cookery Course outside of the winter season which teaches budding chalet hosts how to cook tasty and nutritious meals for large numbers and how to run a chalet. We hand pick some of staff from these courses, so you can expect a high standard of cuisine, with attention being paid to the quality of the ingredients which will always be fresh and chosen by us.



We serve high tea for children at an earlier time of 6pm, all home-made versions of kids favourites. If you prefer your children to eat with you, please let us know and we will serve smaller portions of the dishes served to the adults.



For the kiddies

We firmly believe that your kids are on holiday too and we go to great lengths to make sure they are fed home made, well balanced, tasty and nutritious meals with yummy desserts you’ll want to eat yourselves! High teas are normally served at an earlier time of 6pm. We will talk to you about what kinds of foods your kids enjoy eating.
