About this property

Alpine Apartment With Stunning Mountain Views And Easy Access To Ski Pistes

A recently renovated alpine apartment in a traditional Savoyard farmhouse. The apartment is in a peaceful and picturesque hamlet very close to the centre of Morillon village (10 minutes walk). Morillon is part of the Grand Massif skiing area. The apartment is 500m (5-10 minute walk) from the Morillon cable car, which operates in summer and winter for skiing, hiking and mountain biking. There is a ski bus stop outside the door. The apartment has a good sized living/dining area, 2 bedrooms and sleeps 4-5 people. There is free wi-fi internet access. Morillon village has a good range of shops, cafes/bars and restaurants. The nearby lake, beach and recreation area (10 minutes walk) are perfect for families with kids in the summer. The mountain views from the apartment are stunning and hiking and biking trails are accessible from the door. It is possible to ski to the door if you don't mind an off-piste finish!

Quaint french Appartement

Excellent host contact and helpfulness.The appartement is as described slightly dated but perfectly comfortable and clean and warm.Close to Morillon Gondola 10 min walk, so it is close enough to all that Morillon has to offer.If walking on very slight slope up a road to the property.Good value given the proximity to main village

Summer stay

The property is conveniently located - within 5 minutes walk to the lake and 10 minutes to Morillon 'High Street'. It is spacious and, thanks to the shutters, it was pleasant and cool in the hot summer temperatures. The owners were very helpful, with great communication. Lovely neighbours too - the French lady was very sweet.

Morillon farm apartment

A last minute change in plans led us to staying in this apartment. It is old fashioned with shutters on the windows, wood everywhere and warms up nicely. The amenities are characterful and adequate. It reflects that the main reason for being here would normally be the chance to use the sporting aspects of the area, such as VTT in the summer, skiing and snowshoeing in the winter. There is no apparent outside garden/recrational spaces.

Comfortable apartment with good WiFi

This was the third time in about six years we have stayed at this apartment and have always found it to be clean, comfortable and well equipped. It is just a short walk into the village with a bus stopped just outside. Mary and Jamie are very helpful when needed. So we would recommend this apartment for both summer and winter travellers. Many Thanks for another great week.

Enjoyable stay in a great place

We found the property to be very comfortable. It had everything we needed during our stay. It was warm and the shower was hot and powerful. It was close to the ski lift and shops. Morillon is a lovely village. It was easy to get around the valley on the bus. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to return.

Comfortable and well kitted out in the kitchen for self catering

Had everything you need and only a short walk to telecabine. Mary was helpful with details on getting ski pass, ski hire. ROL Sports let you store your hire gear in the shop so you don’t have to carry skis and boots back to the apartment every night. Some tasty options for eating out in Morillon village.

Super Alpine Apartment

Good communication with the owner prior to and after booking. Easy and convenient access arranged which was welcomed after a long drive. Good size accommodation that was bigger than the photo's suggested. Everything provided for a comfortable stay, good facilities and the owner was on site to make sure that everything was OK. Handy for the Morillon telecabin which was a short walk away. Would definitely recommend and return to the chalet if available.

Great Apartment

This is a great apartment that is much larger than it appears in the photo's. It's really comfortable and well located. We stayed for 5 nights and hired our ski's from Rol so we didn't have to carry them which was great as the apartment is slightly uphill. However there is a bus if you are transporting ski's every day. Without ski's it's a really nice walk. The owners are great, really helpful, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Great apartment

We have just returned from our second stay at this spacious clean apartment. This time we took our 3 sons in their early twenties and there was plenty of room for all of us plus good WiFi. The apartment is only a few minutes walk from the ski lift and the village so is in an ideal location and also at a good price. We had a great holiday and enjoyed plenty of skiing and no doubt will be returning again.

Fabulous apartment ideal for ski slopes

This is a lovely apartment, bigger than the "ski cupboard" we rented previously as the kitchen / dining / living area is totally separate, and the bedrooms are a decent size. The bunk beds are quite wide and while we used them for children, I'm sure they'd be fine for adults. The beds are very comfortable also. It's great having your own front door and the car can be parked right outside which makes lugging equipment and stuff a lot easier. Great value - we had a fantastic stay. Thank you.

Fantastic apartment....all we could have hoped for and more

Beautiful well equipped accomodation that far exceded our expectations. It felt like home the moment we opened the door. More than enough room for our family of 5. The area of Morillon is jaw droppingly picturesque. The only problem was that we could not stay longer.We will definately be back ......but next time for much longer. Mary could not be more helpful with quick responses to all our emails. Five stars.

Nice, comfortable stay, plenty of room, excellent hot shower and well furnished kitchen

We had a lovely time in Morillon and were made to feel very welcome by Mary and family. We were less than 10 minutes walk (carrying skis) to the cable car in Morillon itself, which connected us to plenty of skiing. And less than 5 minutes by car to the lift at Verclan, which gave us an easier afternoon ski back from Flaine - the sun shone for most of our stay which made the views over the mountains and valleys outstanding. We were even in reach, by car, of the cross country ski area at Joux Plan above Samoëns, meaning the lack of snow in resort didn't stop us from doing all of the activities we'd hoped to. Would be very happy to stay in the apartment again if we revisit the area

Very clean, spacious and great location. Excellent owners too

Very happy with our stay at the property. Arrived late on the Friday and everything was set up for us. Beds made with two towels each on the bed (also a little bonus chocolate treat). Every inch of the property was very clean and tidy and spacious throughout. Beds were very comfy and bathroom facilities were small but very clean. Shower room is seperate from the toilet which is ideal in many ways. Location is just a 5 minute walk to the main lift. Shops, bars, restaurants and ski hire facilities are all very on route to the lifts also. Overall stay was excellent. Very ideal position in the village and the price is very good for its location. Would highly recommend for a family of 4 but can easily stay 6 people. Fantastic weekend of skiing and made even better by our accomodation. Many thanks to Mary and Jamie

Traditionally functional ski apartment

Accomodation: We stayed here with 3 adults, double bed in the main bedroom was comfortable and big enough certainly for 2 people, the bunk room was as you would expect with a chest of drawers for storage. The pull out bed in the living room was comfortable and easy to put away good kitchen oven/grill/microwave/kettle and fridge freezer. There is a storage cupboard with washing machine if extra space is needed in the toilet and shower room the are heated towel rails for drying ski gear which is useful. Location: The apartment is a 5-10 minute walk downhill to the Morillon village cable car various hire shops on route we used twinner near the lift as they were English speaking and very helpful ski hire for 5 days including helmet come to 110 euros each. Its not so fun up the hill on the way back but it is after a day skiing so I wouldn't read into that too much. However you can get the red route ski bus from the gondola to the apartment as it stops outside, this same bus also takes you to samoens from outside the apartment. Nightlife: It is a pretty sleepy village, the bar le bon coin opposite the gondola is pretty much the only place with music if you like euro pop or heavy metal! we spent most of our nights in the snack bar at the side of the gondola they showed football for us and were very welcoming on our last day they let us charge our phone etc before the journey home price of beer was about 5 euros so wasn't too bad at all. The owners: We didn't really see much of them but they welcomed us and pretty much let us get on with it which was nice for us as we were in and out quite a bit, full of info if needed and happy to help where they can. Overall great place great trip and great owners, Thanks, Jamie

Very pleasant apartment, good for a mountain biking holiday around Samoens

The apartment was very clean and everything well maintained, we only used the kitchen area for breakfast but it seemed well equipped. It was very spacious as only two of us were staying there, the second bedroom has bunk beds and would be most suitable for children (or just one adult). Outdoor space is limited but we were able to keep our mountain bikes indoors overnight. The village is a short walk away and we found a couple of good restaurants (our favourite was La Puzze).

About the host

Hosted by Mary Kirkbride

Host profile image
I live in Morillon with my partner, Jamie, and our two children, Juliet and Cameron. Jamie and I have been living in this part of the French Alps for 10 years. We live and work here all year round. In the summer we run a mountain biking holiday business, Ride the Alps. In the winter Jamie is a snowshoe guide and igloo builder.

Why they chose this property

Morillon is a village in the Haute Giffre valley, also part of the Grand Massif. This is one of the most beautiful areas in the French Alps. It has managed to maintain a traditional alpine village feel whilst also being a very successful summer and winter mountain resort. We love mountain sports - mountain biking, skiing, trail running, climbing etc. - and this is the ideal place to do all of these things. It's also a wonderful place for family life. There are heaps of activities on offer for kids all year round.

What makes this property unique

The apartment is just 500m from the Morillon cable car (a 5-10 minute walk) so you can get up the mountain very easily in summer or winter with skis, mountain bikes or on foot. There is also a ski bus stop just outside the door which links you to the other villages in the valley. The village centre is also a 5 minute walk away with it's range of shops, café/bars and restaurants. The beautiful alpine village of Samoens is just 3km away. Samoens has an outdoor pool complex and plays host to the biggest market in the Haute Savoie on Wednesday mornings. You can get straight onto the hiking and biking trails from the door of the apartment and if you don't mind a bit of off-piste, you can ski back to the door.
