About this chalet rental
SELF CATERING - Chalet Pepé is a stunning chalet in the beautiful mountain village of Champagny L'Haut. It is just a 5-10 min bus or car ride up the mountain from Champagny en Vanoise, a popular vilage ski resort linked to La Plagne and part of Paradiski. At 1500m, you have sledging and tobogganing outside your chalet for most of the winter and you can join the cross country trails from your doorstep!
Chalet Pépé is a beautifully converted, traditional Savoyarde farmhouse, with its own private swimming pool, steam room and sunken outdoor hot tub. Set in the heart of the spectacular ancient village of Champagny L'Haut, it has picturesque views up the valley and as far as the eyes can see. It is truly magical when you see Bouquetin and Chamois foraging in the snow from the chalet!
The chalet faces south east, with fabulous views from the living areas and the 3 front bedrooms with private balconies. Each of the 7 bedrooms has its own beautiful en-suite shower room or bathroom, all with private wc's. One of the double bedrooms has an internal door connecting it to a bunk room, making an ideal family room. There is also a ninth sleeping area in a small attic room above the second living room. The chalet sleeps a comfy 14 adults but you can fit in a total of 18 if you use the bunk room and attic rooms.
The chalet has been owned by the same local family for several generations and has been sensitively and beautifully renovated, using local materials and traditional building methods.
The chalet is situated in the village of Champagny Le Haut, an ancient farming village that seems to have stopped in time. There are still small fams producing local cheeses and cows kept under farmes sitting rooms!! You will often see Bouquetin and Chamois in front of the chalet as the wild life comes down off the mountains in search of grazing.
The cross country piste passes very close to the chalet, so perfect if you like this form of exercise and is just a 5 minute drive from the alpine pistes in Champagny, just down the valley, which links you into the vast ski area of La Plagne and Paradiski.
Champagny en Vanoise - Village Resort: Champagny is an authentic mountain village with a character that still reflects its ancient farming origins. Tiny paths link old farms and chalets in a village where traditional Savoie life and modern tourism mesh seamlessly together. The village has a lively atmosphere with shops, bars & restaurants within easy walking distance. At night, Le Timbale, Les Rochers & Le Pichouan are the main focal points for socialising and dancing .
Skiing & Boarding at Champagny: A cable-car whisks skiers to the Champagny ski area (2000m) in just 7 minutes which is where you’ll find the nursery slopes. Three brilliant long blue runs are great to learn on and progress to while advanced skiers can zip on to the superb off piste either side. You have a choice of two red runs to take you back to the village at the end of the day. Champagny offers direct access into La Plagne, but is less busy, so is much quieter and more pleasant, especially during peak weeks.
Skiing & Boarding the Paradiski Area which includes both La Plagne and Les Arcs, the two linked together by the biggest cable car in the world, the huge 'Vanoise Express Telecabine'. The whole ski area covers a massive 425km of finely groomed pistes in one of the biggest interlinked ski areas in Europe. With over 180 blue and red runs to cruise down, most skiers and boarders can travel vast distances around the 16 villages. Some very long black runs descend both the Bellecote Glacier (3250m) and the Aiguille Rouge (3225m) both on and off piste. There are also several, into the pretty tree lined runs descending into Vallandry , Plan Peissey and Montchavin. There are also numerous mogul fields in the area and 2 board parks, half pipes and boarder cross runs.

We stayed in chalet Marmotte for 4 days, when we visited Champagny for a ski break.
Communication with the owner was great, with a lot of information provided in advance as well as a lot of options given (buy our ski passes for us with a small discount per pass as well, food choices, ski lessons, airport transfer).
The chalet manager also contacted us separately to provide information and ask if we had any special requirements.
The chalet is part of a complex of several other properties it shares some of the facilities (sauna, swimming pool, game room). It is in a quite neighborhood, approximately 400 meters from the gondola that connects Champagny with the rest of La Plagne. Unfortunately it is fairly uphill to get to the gondola but the chalet team ahs made an arrangement with a ski hire location next to the lift for the customers to leave their shoes there.
The place has 20 beds in total but it gets very tight if all the beds are occupied. Also the rooms in reality are 7 with 2 of them being family rooms with a mezzanine space above the main room with 4 and 2 extra beds respectively. These are great for kids but if the group has more than 7 couples, sleeping arrangements can be made complicated.
The team that hosted us and sorted the breakfast and dinner were really polite, professional and enthusiastic about hosting us. They made every effort to please us and made our stay enjoyable. Breakfast could have more variety and quantity but the team there made extra effort to accommodate us once we pointed that out. Dinner was really good with 3 courses that were different every day and some special arrangements for a toddler in the group.
Overall a really nice time, definitely would recommend it for a large group, especially if there are families with kids. If the group is more than 16-18 adults with several couples, it might be worth combining it with one of the other smaller properties in the complex.

We had a great time in our chalet!
The upstairs rooms where perfect for families and the loft rooms where great for our children who enjoyed their “dens”!
The food was delicious, each night we where more and more impressed with the food served. The staff where really kind and helpful. One member was even qualified in massages!
The pool was gorgeous and relaxing with two options for jacuzzis, one communal (with 2-3 other chalets) and one private, set in our massive garden!
Steve was great and very helpful when booking!

We stayed here in a group and the chalet team were happy to cater for our weird dietary needs. The hot tub was refilled daily and the views are fantastic. The pool was good for a dip and the sauna was super. The chalet team catered to our every need and we had a comfy stay. You do have a warm up walk to the lift and the bubble is good to avoid the icy runs home. The recommended hire shop was helpful and well stocked too! Great value for facilities offered. Highly recommend a stay here!

Thanks Barrelli for a fantastic week at Chalet Marmotte. Nik’s food was fantastic and there was lots of it. We particularly loved Joe and his dry sense of humour and laid back approach to hosting us! The chalet is run with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere but the staff are always there to help when needed which suited us great. The chalet is located in a lovely quiet spot, with stunning views but still close to the village and skiing. The walk up to the lift is steep but not long so we power walked up in the morning for a good little warm up! You don't have to do in your ski boots as we collected our equipment from the boot warming racks at the ski hire shop near the lift every morning. We especially loved the pool and hot tub in front of the chalet which both had amazing views across the valley. Steve was really helpful during the booking process and seamlessly organised our airport transfers and we pre booked our ski passes through the resort manager Sarah, so they were waiting for us in the resort but we didn't have to pay until we arrived. All in all, it was a great holiday, we will definitely be back next year!

We had a fabulous week in Champangny staying in Chalet Marmotte.
The chalet was warm and inviting with plenty of space for the whole group. We were looked after really well by Sarah the resort manager and the whole team making lift passes and ski hire seamless.
The chalet is conveniently located with just a short walk to ski shop and lifts. Champagny is a lovely small resort with a good selection of bars and shops we were there the first week of the season so it was really quiet which suited us fine.
The chalet had everything we needed with comfortable beds, plenty of bathrooms and hot water! The communal area worked well and spent most evenings in here by the fire playing silly games. There was plenty of seating for everyone.
The chalet staff were amazing and we were very well looked after, cooked breakfast everyday, lovely cake in the afternoon and a delicious evening meal. A real treat.
The other facilities were the icing on the cake, having the pool, hot tubs and games room were an added bonus, but as we were so lucky with the snow we spent most of our time on the slopes. We had one non-skier in the group who really enjoyed her daily dip in the pool with a view.
Thank you Barelli Ski for a fantastic week and excellent service.

This is the second time I have stayed at Chalet Marmotte and I more than lived up to the reputation I t had gained first time around.
Champagy is a small resort - in fact it is more a small Alpine farming village with some skiing facilities - but it is a stunning location and the easy access o the La Plagne ski area gives loads of options for all standards of skier.
The chalet it self is well appointed and the facilities are great. It is hard to beat looking down the valley from the hot tub after a hard days skiing.
However the staff are the real clinching factor here. They are friendly, make sure the basics (passes, equipment hire, lesson bookings, transfers) are looked after with the minimum of fuss, provide advice and tips about skiing and other local facilities but best of all provide an excellent catering experience.
I would happily recommend this chalet to anyone but it would particularly suit a groups of friend or an extended family.

Everything was perfect from the situation of the chalet (little village with stunning views across the valley), bedrooms & general areas (comfortable, stylish and homely), food (varied, plentiful & absolutely delicious), facilities (there is nothing better than soaking your weary muscles in an outdoor hot tub with stunning scenery all around) and the staff (friendly, efficient and so helpful). In fact it was my birthday when we were there & Kiki made me one of the most delicious chocolate birthday cakes I've ever eaten (that washed down with champagne was memorable). It was a fantastic holiday. If you want a piece of heaven - both to stay and ski you needn't look elsewhere.

Note : arrival date was 18/12/15 - Xmas week. Fabulous chalet with great facilities in beautiful location and grounds. Despite a short steep walk to gondola the access to skiing was easy. Over Xmas the snow was limited but we still managed to ski as la plagne is such a large high ski area. Chalet hosts were excellent with great food, service, childcare and couldn't do enough for us. The hot tub on the terrace was a huge bonus after a day of skiing. All arrangements beforehand were also dealt with efficiently by Steve at barelli ski meaning that the whole booking experience was straightforward for a group of 17! We would definitely return which says it all
