Our opinion
Chalet Maria is a beautifully designed chalet finished to a high 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. Possibility to add a bedroom on the ground floor.
