Home description
This traditional style, refurbished Savoyard chalet is set back from a quiet road in a little french alpine village in the northern French Alps on the edge of the Portes du Soleil ski area. Great for those who want a change of pace from being in a resort town - a great location for winter skiing holidays or summer mountain vacations. But the alps are not just for skiing! Come and stay at the chalet in spring or summer and walk our personal and hand-picked selection of mountain trails.
The chalet offers modern en suite comfort in four spacious bedrooms, it has a large, very well equipped kitchen, and a spacious open plan area with a large dining table for up to 12 people, a huge log-burning stove with fuel provided and comfy sofa's to relax around the fire. We don't skimp on the details and the chalet is not sparse and unwelcoming like many self catering homes: Big beds, big bathrooms, two pillows per person, large towels... The owner lives close by and therefore, is available to give help and advice about your holiday.

This is a beautiful and largely unspoilt area of the French Alps which offers a summer climate to rival that of the mediterranean. In winter, the Portes du Soleil offers one of the largest linked skiing areas in the world.

Additionally, there is an 18-hole golf course in the town of Les Gets, which is approx. 16 kilometres from the chalet. Parapenting, kayaking, Climbing and mountain biking are all available in Morzine: much of the ski-lift system remains open in summer to access the mountains at altitude, for cyclists and walkers alike.

We had an absolutely fantastic time!! Thanks so much again for your hospitality, the whole group enjoyed the trip very much. So easy to find driving in either direction and the location of the house is as Madeleine said, "awesome"! Easy access to plenty of sights - had a great time exploring Chamonix/Mt Blanc, Annecy and Geneva as well as the local area! We`ve travelled overseas many times but never have we stayed in such a well equipped and comfortable accommodation - it truly is a home from home. Lee Griffin - United Kingdom June 2008
