Home description
This beautiful 2 bed apartment is located in the stunningly scenic Alpine village of Thollon-les-Memises.
Known as “the balcony of Lac Leman”, this quiet village provides majestic views over to Switzerland and beyond. The apartment is just a short walk (200 metres) from the centre of the village and provides a perfect platform to visit Evian, Geneva, Lausanne and the historic world heritage town of Yvoire. The location is well suited to families as it is close to numerous amenities including lake side beaches and swimming pools, water and activity parks and a miniature train museum. Leisure activities include horse riding, paragliding (for the brave) and numerous walks and cycle trails.
In winter, the activities on offer include skiing (ski lift in the centre of village), snow boarding, sledging, tobogganing and maybe even the odd snow ball fight! The 16 pistes and 6 kilomoter cross country track cater for the beginner to accomplished skier and everyone can enjoy a relaxed and laid back atmosphere.
The area is famous for its food and wine. Take the opportunity to meet the friendly and hospitable local people, sample the local wines and cheeses (including the cheese making factory in the village) and visit the local markets.

The Rhone / French Alps / Haute-Savoie region
The Lac Leman area is one of the most popular tourist areas in France. Bordering France and Switzerland the region is home to many famous places including Geneva, Lausanne, Montreux and the picturesque town of Evian. The scenery is breathtaking both in the winter and summertime. In winter the cold temperature provides conditions perfect for skiing, snow boarding and cross country snowshoeing.

The Haute Savoie region is home to the Savoyard people and the wonderful Savoyard style food, with its fondue (melted cheese) and raclette, local wines and cold meats, all of which provide the perfect way to relax at the end of a long day in the mountains.
