Marco Polo, sleeps 12-14, Val d’Isere
An amazing luxury chalet with all sorts of playful touches, featuring a state of the art pool area
Overview
Chalet Marco Polo is a beautiful luxury chalet located right in the centre of Val d’Isere. The beating heart of the resort centre is on the doorstep, featuring a wide range of shops and bars. The skiing is a short walk or even shorter hop in the chauffeured 4×4 at your disposal. The chalet also benefits from an in-house Chalet Manager and Assistant to oversee concierge, support and cleaning.
The chalet is incredibly spacious, set over 1000m2 of living space, the chalet manages to blend traditional alpine materials and cutting edge technology to create one of the finest ski chalets on the planet. The chalet sleeps 10 adults and 4 children in six gorgeous bedrooms, each with it’s own en suite bathroom. A lovely touch is the outdoor kitchen and heated seating area which boasts a stunning view of La Face piste. If it’s a bit nippy outside, head inside to the bar area for a tipple before dinner.
The wellness area is a sight to behold, not only is there a hot tub and hammam but also relaxation area with a fireplace, bar and entertainment system too. If that wasn’t enough, the swimming pool is surely the icing on the cake.
The chalet also has several playful touches, we love the boot room with it’s own gondola bubble, a new interactive racing game and even a biathlon laser shooting game too!

Our opinion
One of the most amazing chalets in the world, if you are looking the best ski holiday money can buy, this is likely it.
Dining
Your chalet staff have a passion for fine food and drink and pride ourself on gastronomic chalet dining. They will only use the finest ingredients and wherever possible, local and seasonal produce sourced from markets and farms.
The team ensure that your dining experience is bespoke rather than routine and your chef will be delighted to discuss your requirements before and during your stay. Allergies, cultural requirements, Diets, likes and dislikes are all catered for. If you require formal dining they can create gastronomic magic; if you prefer local specialities, classic dining or comfort food in front of the TV, they can do that too.
Wine and Champagne
The chalet stocks a range of excellent house wines, but if you have any requests, however rare, our specialist partners Antoine Veuriot at La Cave sur Comptoir and Guillaume Masson at La Verre Gourmand will track them down and have them ready for you when you arrive.
In addition the team can arrange a wine tasting evening in your chalet where you can trial both vintage and local wines paired with canapés prepared by your chef.
Of course, there is always a well-stocked bar with your favourite spirits along with chilled Perrier-Jouët champagne waiting for you and your guests throughout your stay
