The Ski Area Feb 2010

The Rhone / French Alps / Haute-Savoie region

Thollon-les-Mémises lies in Eastern France in the French Alps. It is a pretty village in the most traditional Alpine style, and views are stunning whether it is winter or summer. The village is known as the Balcony of the Léman, due to its location overlooking the beautiful, Lake Geneva. The views from Thollon-les-Mémises are so glorious that they are actually mentioned in the Michelin Guide, which is quite an accolade for such a small village!

Down on the lakeside, Geneva, Montreaux and Lausanne are all reachable within the hour, by car or boat. The spa town of Evian (10 minute drive) has numerous beaches, a fantastic outdoor swimming complex housing a 50 meter outdoor pool, play areas, golf, boat hire , traditional outdoor markets and, of course, the thermal spa and casino. It also has some excellent restaurants.

Also close by, on the Swiss Lakeside, is the ‘Vapeur Park’, (model railway) large Aquaparc, zoo and Labyrinth Park to name but a few. There really is so much to do, yet it is also very easy to sit back ,relax and savour the glorious views.

Guestbook for Lake View

We loved the whole week - We were delighted to arrive, feeling travel weary -to an immaculate apartment, welcoming and homely.Steve and Maria were the perfect hosts,arranging ski hire for us ( at a huge discount) and transfers to and from the airport. Everyone had a super week; the children loved ski school and nightly sledging races in the village. Thank you so much for your warm hospitality and we look forward to seeing the stunning scenery surrounding this special village in summer. Jane Peter and family

Hi Maria and Steve
Just wanted to say thank you, we had a lovely Christmas in your beautiful apartment, we couldn't fault anything, it really felt like home from home which is unusual in a holiday pad.Thanks again....The Naylor Family Dec 10

Maria and Steve-the five of us enjoyed a great weeks skiing .The snow conditions were superb ,we also ventured to Verbier and Morzine and enjoyed exploring the Alpine region. With regards your apartment, we were very impressed with everything including the wonderfully comfy beds-(most unusual in a ski resort) new linen and soft towels. Lovely…. But the views, as mentioned by other guests, were the stars of the show- simply stunning.
We have fallen for this part of the world and plan to return. Sam, Stephen and gang .Jan 11

Hi Maria and Steve,

Thank you so much for your hospitality over the festive season. The whole family enjoyed Thollon and all it had to offer. The skiing for us was super and the children experimented with boarding which they quickly mastered. The ski hire shop couldn’t have been more helpful as we changed equipment mid week which they were happy to do at no extra charge.
Thank you also for preparing the apartment for Christmas for us, the decorations, tree lights and children’s stockings were a lovely, much appreciated, kind touch .As mentioned in some of the other reviews, you really have thought of everything and as a result we have had the most wonderful relaxing family holiday .
.
Karen, David and family Dec 2011
