Les Chardons Argentes D3, also known as Chalet Valerie, is a luxury apartment located in a prestigious MGM alpine-styled chalet complex in the heart of historic Samoens. The apartment consists of 2 spacious and beautifully decorated bedrooms with a further sofa bed meaning 4/6 people can be hosted comfortably. Relaxing swims in the ‘residents only’ indoor swimming pool are a must with the pool being open all year round.

The apartment is situated in a secluded corner of the development and benefits from a great deal of privacy, yet is only 50m walk from the ski bus stop, tourist office 400m, ice rink and creche. The Grand Massif Express Gondola is an easy 10 minute walk, and if you chose to use one of our partner rental shops, ski equipment storage is available at the top or bottom of the ski lift. The  apartment is also just a 4-5 minute walk from Samoens’ magnificent lakes and the many summer time activities surrounding them.  This provides the perfect location for holidays at all times of the year.

This property is privately owned and has been carefully selected to be in Alps Accommodation’s premier portfolio. It has a Saturday changeover day, however in low season and for last minute bookings, flexible arrival day and length of stay may be available. Contact us for more information.

On entering Chardons Argentes D3 the spaciousness of the open plan living, dining and kitchen areas combined with the fantastic light flooding in through the large French windows are immediately obvious. The apartment has been thoughtfully decorated with high quality furnishings to produce a luxurious and ‘homely’ atmosphere.

The kitchen has been equipped to an excellent standard with a large combination microwave oven, fridge freezer, dishwasher and, of course, plenty of space to create a delicious meal! Guests can also enjoy the use of a fondue set. The dining area can comfortably seat up to 6 people.

Moving on to the living area there is a large and very comfortable sofa and arm chair set before a cosy electric log fire, from which the whole group can enjoy an evening in front of the large LCD Smart TV. A second TV with blu-ray DVD player can also be found in the second bedroom. There is a great selection of books and board games and free Wi-Fi throughout. The apartment is equipped with an iPod docking station. We can’t forget the great views which can be enjoyed from the warmth of the sofa out over the communal landscaped gardens, with traditional farmhouses and beautiful mountain views beyond.

Property reviews

"Everything was smooth sailing. Property was immaculate, nice touches like some coffeepods , beds were made as requested, and the underground parking space is a big plus every morning when you take your car. Walking distance to the village. All in all a very repeatable experience!"

Brans, Chardons Argentés D3, January 2024

"Very good and quick recommendations for apartments based on our query. Good communication with property managers (Massif Welcome) and grateful they could organise early check in and late checkout. Very detailed and useful online handbook. Pool was among the best we’ve ever had in rented accommodation. Very cosy furnishings and well equipped kitchen."

Juan, Chardons Argentes D3, October 2022

"Very pleasant stay in a very clean and very well equipped apartment."

Fildier Family, Chardons Argentes D3, July 2020

"Lovely apartment, the pool and decking area was fantastic. We are re-booking again for next year. Very peaceful despite being only a few minutes walk from the centre."

Passam Family, Chardons Argentes D3, August 2019

"The apartment was beautiful and both the owners and Alps accommodation managers were extremely helpful. Already considering booking again for next year."

Biddle Family, Chardons Argentes D3, August 2017

"We had a fantastic stay in your apartment! It was everything we hoped it would be and the town and surrounding area was too. I'd especially like to comment on the comfort of the beds. A holiday for me can be ruined by a rubbish bed. I was not disappointed. Thanks again for making the whole process of arranging this holiday both easy and problem free. We may well be back! Only problem is that there are so many lovely places to visit it in this world. If only we could be assured of such high quality accommodation everywhere!"

The Fulton Halls, August 2015

"Our group of two couples and a 10month old little boy had the most wonderful time at Chalet Valerie! Cracking apartment in a great location in the charming town of Samoens. Previous experiences when self-catering have been things like blunt knives and non-stick pans that are no longer non-stick! But everything we could have needed was sharp! Wonderfully equipped from the Kitchen to Bathrooms.  Checking in with Tim (resort manager) was easy and full of useful local knowledge for those who don’t know the town. I wouldn’t hesitate to choose Chalet Valerie again on our return to Samoens. Thanks for your help with booking everything."

Burrows, Chardons Argentes D3, January 2015.

"We had a lovely stay in Samoens recently. We found Chardons Argenest D3 to be very comfortable, well-equipped and exactly as described. The addition of a Christmas Tree was much appreciated!
Samoens is a lovely destination and we will definitely consider a return visit at some point."

Wagge, Chardons Argentes D3, December 2014

"The apartment was a pleasure to stay in. A high standard throughout, close enough to the village and a lovely pool to top it off!"

Smee, Jan 2014

"Thank you for the use of your apartment, we enjoyed our stay. You have made it very comfortable and equipped it very comprehensively. We really could not fault the apartment."

Murray, Jan 2014

About the owner

My husband and I have skiied for years and are lucky enough to ski at least twice a season. I have wanted to have a place of my own in the Alps for a long time and a couple of years ago I stumbled upon the Grand Massif. Then when my Mum sadly passed away, I decided the best way to use my inheritance was to buy that place! I discovered Samoëns and immediately knew that this was a great place both to ski and to holiday in the summer months. So in her honour 'Chalet Valerie' was bought. We have tried to make it a home from home and kitted it out as we would if we lived in it. We intend to spend many happy holidays here and hope you enjoy using it too.
Even though we do not live in the alps (more's the pity) you will have in-resort managers who can assist with any issues that may arise while you are there making your holiday as stress free as possible. Have a great time!
