Home description
L’Appartement is a privately owned self catering chalet in the heart of the traditional village of Morillon. As our ‘home in the alps’ it has been refurbished to provide all the comforts you would expect to find back at home. We believe that this little known village is the perfect holiday destination for couples and families for the following reasons:
It is a traditional village with a friendly atmosphere It has access to the extensive slopes of Le Grand Massif There is plenty to do even when the snow disappears There is plenty to keep the children happy all year round It is superb value for money And it is easily reached by road or plane via Geneva
L‘Appartement benefits from being situated in the heart of the charming village of Morillon located right on the piste enabling you to ski out and ski in. This bright airy apartment is split between two levels. The first floor comprises a shower room and toilet, a bedroom with a double bed and a fully equipped kitchen/diner with south facing balcony. The stairs to the upper level lead into the spacious lounge area which includes a double sofa bed, open log fire and small balcony. On the upper level there is a further double bedroom with small balcony.

The Rhone / French Alps / Haute-Savoie region
A beautiful unspoilt part of France in the Northern French Alps, offering so much to do both in the Winter and the Summer. The Grand Massif is one of the largest ski regions in France with year on year good snow records, from December through to April.
There is an excellent and well established ESF Ski School in Morillon with English speaking instructors, and also a Children's Creche for children aged 6 months +.
Other winter pursuits include cross country skiing, snow shoeing, snow trekking, paragliding, ice skating and dog sledging. The famous and cosmopolitan resort of Chamonix with Mount Blanc towering over the village is only 1 hour away, and well worth a visit. From Chamonix a short drive through the Mont Blanc Tunnel will take you in to Italy and the resort of Courmayeur.
Morillon sits on the banks of the river Giffre, surrounded by lush green countryside, with fantastic views and a warm sunny climate during the summer, If you just want to chill out then you can relax amongst the beautiful scenery at one of the many bars and restaurants in the Giffre valley. Summer activities include walking, rafting, swimming, mountain biking, paragliding and more.
Grand Massif / Morillon area
There are so many Winter and Summer activities within the region and so many beautiful places to visit. Winter holiday activities include 265km of groomed, linked pistes, and endless off piste areas, within the Grand Massif Ski Area. One pass can cover the whole area which includes Flaine, Samoens, Morillon, Les Carroz and Sixt.
Further skiing is available in the adjacent resorts of LesGets and Morzine, part of the Port Du Soleil Region. There are also many km of Cross Country Skiing available.
Chamonix and Mount Blanc are only 1 hours drive away, with the opportunity to see the glaciers and the superb views from Mount Blanc viewing platform. Other winter activities include an Indoor pool at Cluses just 15 kms away, Paragliding, Hang-gliding, Hot Air Ballooning at Les Carroz, walking, heli-skiing and helicopter rides.
Summer activities include the lake and beach in Morillon, the lovely outdoor pools at Samoens, tennis, table tennis,volleyball, water sports, white water rafting, horse riding, quad biking, driving range, tree top buzz wires, fishing, mini golf, and over 400km of cycling routes.
