Our opinion
Chalet Maria is a beautifully designed chalet finished to a highest standard. The top floor is fully open plan and spans over 100m² so has a great feeling of volume but also has distinct seating areas to create a cosy atmosphere. Situated at the foot of the Les Planards beginner slopes, it is perfectly situated for family skiing but also offers easy access to the town's amenities being only 500m from Chamonix's pedestrianised area.

Location
Chalet Maria is situated at the bottom of the slopes of the Domaine des Planards where there are two green, one blue and one red slopes with the red often hosting World Cup slalom events. It is also a popular domaine in the summer with various amusement games including a 1.3km long luge. The location is also convenient for access to Chamonix centre being under 10 minutes' walk (550m).

The chalet is 200m from the bus stops providing access to the ski areas of Chamonix, Les Praz and Argentiere. The Montenvers train is also with 200m which gives access to the Mer de Glace and beings skiers back from the world famous Vallée Blanche.
