Chalet Bolay

There is plenty of parking at Chalet Bolay, but if you'd rather not use your car, the ski bus stops at the end of the drive, taking you to both Morzine and the Ardent lift for Avoriaz.

About the property ...

Accommodation at Chalet Bolay is set over three floors. With four bedrooms and three bathrooms, there's plenty of room for up to eight guests.

You'll enter from the terrace on the ground floor, where you'll find the well-equipped kitchen and a utility room. There's also a useful TV room with a desk area and doors to the balcony.

The cosy living / dining area is also on this floor - there's room for everyone to eat at the dining table, and after your meal, you can relax on the sofas in front of the fire. There are doors from the living area to the furnished terrace and from there to the large, flat garden - a great place for children to play or perhaps for a barbecue on a summer's evening.

Chalet Bolay has four good-sized bedrooms, three of which can be arranged with either twin beds or a large double bed; with the master suite having a king size bed. There are three bedrooms on the first floor, including the master suite, which has an en suite bath and shower room, and a room with access to a balcony. The second bedroom also has access to a balcony with lovely mountain views. There's also a bathroom with a bath and separate shower, and a separate WC.

The fourth double bedroom is on the lower ground floor, along with a separate shower room with WC. There's also a games room, where you can challenge each other to darts or table tennis - a great place for younger guests to hang out while the adults relax upstairs.

There's access to the garage and ski room from this floor too.

About the area ...

Chalet Bolay is perfectly situated between the resorts of Morzine, Montriond and Les Gets, giving you great access to all of the Portes du Soleil resorts in France and Switzerland. With 650km of pistes, there is plenty of scope for skiers and boarders of all ages and abilities.

It’s also worth the five-minute drive to Mont Chery, a standalone mountain with great off piste, where you’ll get some fabulous views of Mont Blanc and, if you’re early, plenty of fresh powder.

If you’re not a skier, Morzine also offers indoor and outdoor ice skating rinks, which are often host to ice hockey matches, and the local cinema shows films in English. The more adventurous might like to try snowmobiling or ice-climbing on some of the area’s frozen waterfalls, or discover the area in a more sedate manner on a sleigh ride.

Other ways to have fun include snowshoeing and sledging, while the Indiana adventure park in Morzine offers a variety of activities for all ages.

Summer in the Alps is very special. The snowy slopes are replaced by lush green pastures, which become a haven for cyclists, walkers, mountain bikers and thrill-seekers.

For cyclists, the famous Col de Joux Verte route runs straight past the end of the road, and a number of mountain climbs included in the Tour de France are right on your doorstep. In July, the iconic Tour de France regularly runs through Morzine. For mountain bike enthusiasts, the World Cup Mountain Biking championships are held in Les Gets each year, and the extensive Portes du Soleil chair lift system which transports mountain bikers in the summer, makes this one of Europe's top mountain biking destinations.

The lifts will transport you and your bike up the mountains, so you can come back down at your leisure. Take a picnic, and make a day of it! Morzine has earned Famille Plus status for its excellent childcare and entertainment — the perfect choice for young families.

Just a few minutes from Chalet Bolay is Lake Montriond, where you’ll find gentle lakeside walks, pony rides and a hike to the impressive Brochaux waterfalls.

There are superb water parks in Morzine and Avoriaz, as well as two summer sledging runs, while the Indiana adventure park has a range of assault courses to suit all ages. Golfers will find excellent courses in Les Gets and Avoriaz.

Other activities include climbing, rafting, via ferrata, canyoning, mini-golf, quad bikes, fishing, kayaking hiking. You can also take advantage of the Portes du Soleil Multi Pass, offering unrestricted access to the full range of family activities for a small daily fee.
