Chalet Marmotte

Chalet Marmotte is a self-catered chalet in Megève, sleeping 12 in 6 bedrooms. The nearest lift, La Petite Roche Brune, is about 910m away, so plan on a bus or a drive to the snow each morning. It has a hot tub, a sauna and a swimming pool. In the last week of December the afternoons are short and everybody comes in cold, which is when a hot tub stops being a luxury and starts being the best thing in the resort. Beds: 6 large doubles and 1 bunk, with 6 bathrooms.

Megève scores 20 out of 100 on our Christmas Snow Score, with the village at 1113m. That makes it more weather-dependent than most in late December, which is worth weighing before you book.

Sleeping 12, it suits a large family Christmas or two families travelling together. It lists family facilities such as a high chair or family rooms, which is the detail that decides it for anyone travelling with small children. It is self-catered, so you cook — including on the 25th. That suits groups who want to eat on their own schedule.

It is not ski-to-door, so factor in getting to the lifts each morning. Resort supermarkets keep short and unpredictable hours over Christmas and many close entirely on the 25th. Order ahead or shop on arrival. A chalet this size usually only goes as a whole, so it is a better fit for a group that has already formed. Pets are not allowed. Check the bed layout and what is included (linen, towels, final cleaning) on Booking.com before you book — Christmas week is often sold as a fixed seven nights.

Chalet Marmotte is in Megève. The nearest lift listed is La Petite Roche Brune, about 910m away. The usual arrival airports for Megève are Geneva (GVA). We do not publish transfer times, because they swing widely with traffic and road conditions on a Saturday in Christmas week.

Christmas week 2026 runs 19 Dec – 26 Dec 2026 — the Saturday-to-Saturday changeover most Alpine chalets work to, with Christmas Day falling mid-week.

Megève scores 20 out of 100 on our Christmas Snow Score. The Megève resort page shows how that is worked out and what Christmas in the village is actually like.
