Chalet de Nantaux

Outside the ski season, you've wonderful walks, hikes and biking trails to explore - some of them right from your door. You can swim in Lake Montriond, enjoy whitewater sports on the River Dranse or perhaps enjoy views of Mont Blanc from a paraglider.

There are plenty of shops, bars and restaurants in Morzine and Montriond, and a Carrefour supermarket just 2km from Chalet de Nantaux.

About the property ...

Up to eight guests can enjoy a holiday at three-storey Chalet de Nantaux, which has four en suite bedrooms.

You'll enter on the ground floor, either through the main door or the garage, which has been set up as a ski room with a heated boot rack and bike storage. The rest of this floor is dedicated to the cosy living space. There's a fully-equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook for a hungry crowd, and a dishwasher to make the clearing up easier. You can all eat together at the dining table in front of the patio doors which open on to the covered terrace. If you'd rather eat outside, there's another dining table out here with fabulous views of the valley and the mountains.

After dinner, get together on the cosy sofas in front of the woodburning stove to chat about your day, watch a film or play board games.

There are two bedrooms on the upper floor, both of which open on to the covered balcony - the perfect place for the first coffee of the day! One of the bedrooms can be arranged with a kingsize bed or two single beds, and has an en suite bathroom with WC. The other has a kingsize bed and an en suite shower room with WC.

There are two more bedrooms on the lower ground floor, both of which have kingsize or twin beds and en suite shower rooms with WCs. There's also a great TV/playroom on this floor, a WC and a laundry area with a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Both the playroom and one of the bedrooms open on to the terrace, where you'll find the hot tub and a barrel sauna - the perfect places to relax at the end of the day.

There are two parking spaces right outside the chalet.

About the area ...

When you stay at Chalet de Nantaux, you'll find great skiing, hiking and biking in every direction. It's perfectly placed between the three Portes du Soleil resorts of Morzine (5km), Montriond (3km) and St Jean d'Aulps (3km).

You can also ski in to Switzerland, and with 650km of pistes to discover, there is plenty of scope for skiers and boarders of all ages and abilities.

Morzine also offers indoor and outdoor ice skating rinks, which are often host to ice hockey matches, and the local cinema often 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.

In the spring and summer, the lush green slopes around Chalet de Nantaux become a haven for walkers, mountain bikers and thrill-seekers. Choose between gentle lakeside strolls, a cycle along the river into Morzine or more challenging summit hikes. If you're cycling, the lifts will transport you and your bike up the mountains, leaving you to come back down at your leisure. Take a picnic and make a day of it!

Morzine and neighbouring Les Gets have earned Famille Plus status for their excellent childcare and entertainment, so this area is the perfect choice for young families. There are superb water parks in both resorts and in neighbouring Avoriaz, as well as two summer sledge 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 and kayaking. You can also take advantage of the Portes du Soleil Multi Pass, offering unrestricted access two a wide range of family activities.
