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 flat comprises a beautiful living room with open-plan kitchen and lounge (160 cm bed), a first bedroom with a queen-size double bed (160 cm), 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 our team, who will take great care of you and do everything she can to make your stay as pleasant as possible.
