Grande Maison is an enchanting luxury chalet in Morzine, situated in the Montriond area of the resort and offering up to 20 guests a ski holiday of ultimate luxury. This restored 18th century property exudes character, quality, and charm in abundance, with a stellar selection of spa and entertainment features including its own swimming pool.
Inside, Grande Maison is a magnificent construction, with a central staircase running through the heart of the property allowing you to see from the bottom of its three levels to the palatial vaulted ceilings at the top. Sumptuous lounge areas spread across an open-plan space on the top floor, with plenty of seating space across designer sofas, cosy armchairs and swing seats that evoke a sense of joy. Fireplaces help keep the vast space toasty in the evenings, while during the daytime there are an abundance of large windows and skylights to fill the space with light. On the chalet's middle floor, a classy dining area with Grand piano sits beside an open show kitchen and professional closed one, providing the ideal space for delicious evening banquets. There is an additional lounge area with kitchen and log burning fireplace in the owner's residence, separate to the main chalet building, which forms part of Grande Maison. The chalet features multiple balconies and terraces across its levels, with spellbinding mountain views around Morzine's stunning valley.
Grande Maison features an impressive array of spa facilities to make for a tranquil time on your luxury ski holiday to Morzine. The highlight is the indoor swimming pool, with a mix of counter current streams, fountains, and massage jets to elevate your swimming experience. The Chalet has three hot tubs for your delight, an indoor and outdoor one in the main chalet, and a rooftop outdoor hot tub on the annexe building. There are also the comforts of a Hammam and barrel sauna to help recover your aching ski muscles, as well as a massage and treatment room. The chalet even features a yoga and Pilates studio.
In addition to the sumptuous wellness features, Grande Maison boasts a number of additional entertainment and relaxation spaces. Next to the dining hall is a bar and wine cellar, with a glass floor peeking into the spa area with swimming pool below. You can also find a quiet moment in the TV snug lounge, the charming reading library, and a lavish boudoir with sophisticated and vibrant wallpaper and furnishings.
Between six double bedrooms in the main Chalet, and the two double bedrooms and quad bunk room in the annexe building, Grande Maison comfortably welcomes large groups of 16-20 guests. Enveloped in natural wood, the bedrooms are typical alpine suites, although with plush beds and rich pops of colour that speak to the luxurious quality of this exceptional chalet. All the rooms have use of private bath or shower facilities. Six of the double bedrooms split into twin beds, for greater accessibility for different group configurations.
Maison and the owner's residence building are linked underground passage by the garage. The Chalet has a ski room with boot and glove warmers.

Grande Maison is located right in the middle of the village square in Montriond which is part of the Morzine ski resort. The village itself has a handful of shops as well as two bars and a restaurant. It is a short drive into the main centre of Morzine where you will find a vast array of shopping and restaurant options. Skiing is most easily accessed by the Ardent lift which is just a 10-minute drive away and grants access straight into the heart of the Portes du Soleil ski area. On route you will also pass the breathtaking Lac de Montriond where you can ice dive in the winter, or bathe come summer.
In the heart of the Portes du Soleil, one of the most prominent ski destinations in all of the Alps and boasting no less than thirteen luxury ski resorts between France’s Mont Blanc and Switzerland’s Lake Geneva, the popular resort of Morrine 1000 m & Avoriaz 1800 m is located in the world-renowned alpine sporting commune of Morzine.
An easily accessible ski resort, Avoriaz 1100 meters is located high above the town of Morzine and offers the discerning holidaymaker an opulent and lavish skiing holiday with many fantastic ski runs, Avoriaz a car-free town centre in which horse-drawn sleighs are a delightful and common sight in winter, and fantastic accommodation options.
The ski area is expansive and offers access to the celebrated Portes du Soleil, one of the world’s largest ski areas with no less than 650 kilometres of skiing runs, including skiing into Switzerland and 38 kilometres of cross-country ski trails spread over eight amazing loops which pass through pine forests and offer extraordinary views of the surrounding peaks, it’s safe to say that Avoriaz has something for all snow sport enthusiasts.
