Description
The perfect match of traditional and modern is hard to find but we think we’ve found it here at Chalet Zenith 2, perfectly situated in the traditional village of Argentiere.
Every wall of this luxury ski chalet in Chamonix is clad in warm, rustic woods, befitting the traditional looks of the building and bringing a truly cosy atmosphere to the interior rooms.
In contrast, hi-tech gadgetry, contemporary furniture and furnishings and a very modern approach to your ski holiday, complement it beautifully.
Set in the charming village of Argentiere just outside Chamonix, this luxury ski chalet is just a couple of minutes by foot to the center of the village.
Inside, there is lots in the traditional-style chalet to keep every member of your party entertained. As well as a lavish cinema room kitted out with TV, CD player and multimedia DVD system, there’s also a second entertainment room with TV, DVD player and a games console, so there need never be an argument over what to watch.
Grown-ups might like to escape to the spa after a day on the slopes for a sauna and a massage in the wellness area. Afterwards you can settle down for a delicious chef cooked dinner in the open-plan dining area.
Later on, gather on the cosy sofas around the roaring fire to enjoy after-dinner drinks, or take them out onto the balcony to enjoy the view. A breath of mountain air at the end of the evening is one of the best ways to enjoy the contrast of your luxury bedroom, with heavy duvets and pillows and stacks of fluffy towels and luxury toiletries to make each bedroom your very own private bolthole in your luxury ski chalet.

Dining
You can be sure of being well fed at this luxury ski chalet if you are opting for the catered chalet. Your chef is carefully selected for their skill, expertise and imaginative way with menus.
Breakfast is a hearty affair of pastries, cereals, fruit and yoghurt alongside local meats and cheeses and lashings of tea and coffee. Or if you would prefer, hot breakfasts are cooked to order. In the afternoon, on your return from the slopes, afternoon tea will be laid out ready for you, with freshly baked, cakes, muffins or cookies with tea and coffee – or even a beer if you want to start your après early.
On five evenings of seven, a four course evening meal will be prepared using seasonal and locally sourced ingredients wherever possible. A selection of local French wines are served alongside it.
If you wish, there is also an A la carte wine list (additional cost) – the cellar has something to suit every taste.
You’ll have two evenings on staff days off to explore wonderful local restaurants and your chalet host will be happy to make recommendations and bookings.

Kids
In a quiet setting with a bunk room to sleep three little ones and a second entertainment room all to themselves, this chalet is a great choice for children.
Everything you could need is taken care of – from outdoor toys (toboggans, sleds, shovels and spades) to things to keep them busy indoors (board games and an extensive library of family movies). There are also cots and highchairs available and getting to slopes couldn’t be easier with your in-resort driver service to shuttle you to and from the lifts.
Nannies can be booked on request and staff can also help you with bookings for the kids’ clubs or ski schools.
