The Portes du Soleil is well know for its huge and varied ski field, offering something for everyone, and being conveniently placed for Geneva airport, the travel times are low too. To add to the impressive facilities in winter, summer is also special here. Such a huge amount of cycling options for all ages (including electric bikes, which mean you really can explore the mountains without having the fitness of Chris Froome!) as well as walking, white water rafting, kayaking and open water swimming.. the list goes on. Importantly, Morzine is a "real" town, which means the shutters are not closed the day after the winter and summer seasons end, so it's just as enjoyable in autumn, when the fall colours blanket the mountains until the first snow arrives. With all this, there was nowhere else we wanted to be more than here. The Chalet itself balances spaciousness and modern conveniences with the traditional alpine cosiness and beautiful views, and it's less than a 10 minute walk to the closest lift. As soon as we saw it, we knew it was the one for us. It gave us everything we had hoped to find, and more.
