Surroundings

Chalet Cristal Morillon is a beautiful chalet set in the centre of its own large (1000 sq-m), private garden in a quiet hamlet on the sunny, south side of the Giffre valley in the middle of the Grand Massif ski area. It’s less than one hour from Geneva or an easy eight hour drive from Calais.

The chalet is surrounded by hedges on all sides making the garden very private and providing ample off-road parking for three - four cars. It's within 5 mins walk of the stunning Lac Bleu, which offers cross country skiing in winter and swimming, zip wires, trampolines and volleyball in the summer. From the chalet you have views of the mountains in all directions.

Description and distance from ski station

Area: Le grand Massif

distance: 150 meters - 2 kms near skiing

Three minutes by car to Morillon télécabine where there is a big free carpark. Ski bus stops less than 100 m from chalet. Possible to walk to and from télécabine; rental shops adjacent to télécabine where you can leave equipment over night.

Restaurants, food & wine

It's a five minutes walk to a fantastic bakery, a couple of restaurants and bars and a weekly produce market. Morillon village is a ten minutes walk and also has a weekly market and more shops, restaurants and bars. Samoëns has a very large weekly market and a wider range of shops including an excellent delicatessen / butchers and speciality food shops. There's also a laiterie for superb local cheeses.

Activities

The Grand Massif is a stunning place to visit at any time of year. Known primarily for its top class winter sports, with 265 km of pistes accessible just a couple of minutes from the chalet. One big difference between the Grand Massif and some of the other, seemingly larger, ski areas is that it's all accessible from when your first lift - there's no taking your skis off to get a bus across town here! In summer there's a swimming lake (with lifeguards and a beach) a few minutes walk from the chalet as well as mountain biking and road cycling opportunities galore, a pump track, with water rafting, crazy golf and tennis all on the door step. Hikes range from gentle strolls along the river bank to multiday hut to hut adventures. Some of the refuges are suitable from a young age and make great overnight family adventures.
