Close to the French mountain resort of Morzine, this charming chalet enjoys a wonderful location for guests looking to make the most of the fantastic range of summer outdoor adventures and winter activities across Les Portes du Soleil.
It’s just a short stroll to the local village for morning pastries and fresh bread to be enjoyed on your pretty terrace as the church bells chime. This should give you ample energy for your adventures that day whether summer swimming in the local lake, experiencing the fantastic winter sports of Morzine, Les Gets and Avoriaz, strolling along Lake Geneva’s promenade or following the region’s famous mountain biking trails.
Indeed, Chalet Alpenglow has been awarded the ‘Accueil Vélo’ quality mark thanks to its set up to welcome cyclists – alongside ski storage, there is a 6-bike rack in the garage as well as cycling maintenance tools to ensure cycling and mountain biking enthusiasts can make the most of this fantastic region. In recent years, Morzine has become a mecca for cyclists/mountain bikers.
Whether biking, skiing or mountain sight-seeing, this welcoming chalet is lovely at any time of year. There are four double bedrooms, three of which can be made up as twins allowing flexibility for family and friends. Cosy up by the fire in the living-dining room, challenge a loved one to a game of table tennis in the games room or escape to the TV lounge/office. The charming garden is the perfect space for winter snowballs or summer ball games whilst the terrace is a gorgeous spot for al-fresco dining by the barbecue on sunny evenings with a glorious outlook.
The action of Morzine is around 3km away, a bustling yet picturesque town with a range of seasonal restaurants, bars and shops, a weekly market and activities including a winter ice-rink, ice-hockey venue, cinema, tennis courts, tree-top adventure centre and swimming complex. The local lake is another idyllic spot in the summer months, then continue towards Les Lindarets where you can feed goats who roam free through the charming mountain village.
The chalet is available year-round, but facilities, property and local amenities may vary depending upon season.
Winter | Ski Chalet

Once you return, cosy up by the fireplace in the charming lounge as kids make the most of the games room with table tennis, darts and board games – there is even an office if you need to work during your stay. The fully-equipped kitchen is ideal for preparing Savoyard feasts to enjoy around the dining table or you may prefer to head into Morzine to soak up the après-ski vibe.

Close to the Swiss border, Chalet Alpenglow (954m altitude) is 3km from the popular French mountain resort of Morzine, loved for its wintersports, cycling and mountain biking. Arrive via Geneva Airport, just over an hour away by car, or the nearest railway stations are Thonon-les-Bains (34km) and Cluses (30km).
The chalet is in a partly residential area with picturesque views towards the mountains, just a couple of minutes on foot from the ski bus stop taking you to Morzine or the Ardent cable-car/ski-lift (for Avoriaz).
It’s a short stroll to the nearest small village (500m) with its pizzeria, traditional bars, grocery store and other small shops. There are a couple more restaurants near the beautiful lake only 3km away where you will also find summer swimming, kayaking, pedalo hire, mini-golf, lovely lakeside walks and winter ice-diving for the most adventurous.
Meanwhile, a wealth of amenities and activities throughout the year can be found in Morzine (3km), a bustling, pretty town in Les Portes du Soleil skiing area, also famed for being a mecca for keen cyclists and mountain bikers. The town is home to many restaurants, cafes, bars and inviting shops whilst the market takes place on a Wednesday morning – look out for mountain cheeses and local charcuterie. There are two cinemas, a winter outdoor ice-rink, an ice-hockey venue and swimming pool. In the summer discover the horse-riding centre, tennis courts and tree-top adventure centre.
Wintersport enthusiasts may be especially keen to explore the slopes of Avoriaz and Les Gets with downhill skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, snow-shoe hikes, sledging and even husky dog rides. Morzine’s own lift is Télécabine du Pléne (5km) which operates in winter and summer for skiing, snowboarding, hiking and mountain biking.
Other outdoor activities across this region include rock-climbing, canyoning, via ferrata, zip-lines, forest walking trails, fishing, golf, horse-riding, para-gliding and even magnificent hot-air balloon rides over the mountain scenery.

View is magnificent
Very nice chalet, the view is magnificent, the bedding is remarkable, the presence of electrical appliances is top, the rooms are spacious, the fact that there are several bathrooms adds a significant plus.
-
Location is excellent!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your chalet. The location is excellent, close to transport routes and the town hall for buses. The beds are very comfortable, the bathrooms are very convenient, and the living room is cozy. The garage is well-equipped for storing ski equipment.

A paradise!
A paradise. Perfect week at chalet bolay. Location just perfect for every activity and amenity. House ideal - loads of space even with a large group (really three large living spaces indoor + terrace and garden + sperate large lower floor play/hang out space for kids our adolescents). Has everything and bright, spacious, clean, well appointed. So many things to do in the area we could have found new things many time over: canyoning, cycling, swimming in the beautiful lac (every day) and river all on the doorstep. Various Stunning walks on the frontier with Switzerland easily accessed via (cheap) chairlifts. Also did a challenging via ferrata. I can only imagine how great it is skiing in all that beauty in winter. But also within a few minutes drive doorstep are the really nice restaurants and useful supermarkets and pharmacy. So you feel remote but can both access all activities and the town in minutes. Hard to see how it could be any more perfect. We all loved it. Honestly the first holiday in years our daughter wanted to stay longer on rather than get back to her friends! Loved it.
