Chalet Gueret

About the property ...

You'll feel immediately at home when you enter the beautiful Chalet Gueret, which is decorated in a French mountain style - pine panelling, painted furniture, cosy sofas and a roaring fire all contribute to making your holiday unforgettable.

Accommodation is set over four floors. As you enter on the lower ground floor, there's plenty of space to leave your outdoor clothes and shoes. There's also a ski room in the basement, as well as a laundry room with drying facilities.

After an active day in the mountains, you might like to head straight for the sauna, which has its own wet room and relaxation area. There's also a separate toilet. Younger guests will love the games room, with its huge sofa, TV with surround sound and games consoles.

Head upstairs to find the main living area - comfortable sofas and armchairs are arranged in front of the fireplace, and a huge antique dining table where everyone can eat together. From here you can step out on to the sunny balcony, with views over the valley to the mountains. There's also a wonderful terrace, where you can watch for shooting stars as the snow falls around you.

If you're seeking a bit of privacy, try the library, where you'll find a good selection of books and games. There is also an additional study/small dining room - the perfect place for an intimate meal.

The large kitchen has a range cooker, two dishwashers, two large fridge freezers and a microwave, making cooking for a large crowd a real pleasure.

There are two double bedrooms on this floor, both with bathrooms and separate showers. The first, with a brass bed and pretty painted furniture, has doors on to the terrace, while the second which has a wooden sleigh bed, opens on to a balcony with valley views.

There are four more bedrooms on the top floor. The first room can be arranged with a kingsize or twin beds, and has a bath with shower over. This room opens on to the balcony, from which you can cross a small bridge to the pool and garden terrace. The next room has a kingsize or twin beds, with two more single beds - an ideal choice for a family. This room has an en suite bathroom and doors on to the balcony.

There's a four-poster bed in the next room, which has a bathroom, and doors to the balcony. The final bedroom has a large double bed, a bathroom and doors to the balcony.

The garden at Chalet Gueret comes into its own in the summer - there's a heated summer pool (20m x 10m) surrounded by a child-proof fence, and a sunny terrace with glorious views.

There's parking for up to five cars at the front and side of the chalet.

About the area ...

Chalet Gueret's location in the village of Essert Romand is ideal for exploring the 12 ski stations of the Portes du Soleil. Despite its tranquil location, you're just a few minutes from the busy ski stations of Morzine and Les Gets.

With 650km of pistes, almost 200 lifts and endless cross-country skiing, you’ll never be bored of this winter sports paradise.The resorts cross the border, so why not ski into Switzerland for lunch? But be careful which route you choose - the Swiss Wall is a piste that challenges even the most experienced skiers.

If you’re not a skier, or if you fancy a change from the slopes, Morzine also offers indoor and outdoor ice skating rinks, which regularly play host to ice hockey matches. The more adventurous might like to try snowmobiling, ice-diving, or tandem paragliding. If you’d rather discover the area in a more sedate manner, try 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.

When the snow melts, the slopes around Morzine and Montriond become a haven for walkers, mountain bikers and thrill-seekers.

Just a short drive from Chalet Gueret, the lifts will transport you and your bike up the mountains, leaving you to come back down at your leisure.

Morzine has earned the Famille Plus status for its excellent childcare and entertainment - a perfect choice for young families. There are superb water parks in Morzine and Avoriaz, plus two summer sledging runs. The Indiana adventure park has a range of assault courses to suit all ages.

Other activities include climbing, rafting, via ferrata, canyoning, mini-golf, quad bikes, fishing, kayaking and hiking. Don’t forget to visit the nearby Lake Montriond, for swimming, lakeside walks and the beautiful Brochaux waterfalls. You can also visit nearby cheese farms, buy fresh fist at Morzine's trout lake, and buy wonderful delicacies at the local markets.
