About this chalet rental
The location
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 walking distance of bars, shops, restaurants and a superb bakery as well as the stunning Lac Bleu, which offers cross country skiing in winter and swimming, zip wires, trampolines and volleyball in the summer.
The ski bus stop is at the end of the road, less than 100 m away and it's less than 5 minutes drive to the télécabines at Morillon, Samoëns and Vercland. Further afield, Les Gets is only 20 minutes and Chamonix about 45 minutes.
The chalet sleeps nine people in four bedrooms, two of which (a double and a European king (160 cm wide bed) are ensuite). The other two bedrooms, which are a twin and a triple share a family bathroom. The triple room also has a TV / DVD player so it's ideal for children / teenagers. There is a further bedroom in the separate, self-contained, ground floor apartment ( HomeAway ref 8624117). The apartment also has a double sofa bed, sleeping up to 13 people in total. Booking the chalet and apartment together is perfect for larger family groups; it gives grandparents or parents of very young children the opportunity for their own space whilst still being very much part of the holiday.
The living space:
The chalet is entered on the first floor via the spacious double aspect kitchen. This floor is mainly open plan with the kitchen leading into a large living and dining area with a lovely wood burning stove, large smart TV and DVD player and seating for up to ten people.
The kitchen is fully equipped with new granite worktops, oven, new induction hob, microwave, large fridge freezer, and dishwasher and also has a fondue set, raclette / hot stone grill, Nespresso machine, kettle, filter coffee maker, cafetiere, toaster, electric hand whisk and hand blender, and a wide range of baking dishes and trays and cook books.
The living area is incredibly bright and sunny with south and east facing windows and two sets of double doors giving access to the south facing balcony and east facing verandah with views of the slopes above Morillon and the mountains of Criou and Buet. There is a wide selection of books, DVDs and games for all ages, with WiFi throughout the chalet.
The walls in the living area are clad in horizontal, unfinished wooden planks for a contemporary chalet style. Furnishings are also contemporary with large, comfortable, squashy leather sofas and original artwork by local artists. The huge coffee table, which is made from a reclaimed door, adds character and is perfect for board games and pre-dinner drinks and appetisers.
On the ground floor of the chalet is a large bootroom with heated boot cupboard, bench and plenty of storage space for skis and snowboards. In summer there is ample space for up to six bikes, whilst another secure storage area to the side of the chalet provides space for a further four bikes.
The chalet is child friendly with a cot, folding bed, high chair, stair gates, cutlery, plates, bowls and cups all provided. The garden is securely fenced and a couple of sledges are also available for use. There is a wide selection of DVDs, games and puzzles suitable for pre-school children upwards.
The bedrooms:
With its two king / double en-suite bedrooms and a further five single beds, the chalet is ideally suited for both families and also groups of friends with a mix of couples and singles.
The first bedroom is a double, with ensuite shower room, on the same floor as the open-plan living and dining area and kitchen. This bedroom has a 140 cm wide double bed, large chest of drawers and two bedside tables and faces west with beautiful sunset views over the Marcelly.
Stairs from the dining area lead up to the second floor which has a further three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The large south-facing master bedroom has a European king-size (160 cm) wide bed with a superbly comfortable mattress and topper. This room has contemporary solid oak furniture including a large chest of drawers and two bedside tables as well as the bed. There is also ample hanging and storage space. Walls are white / off white with some natural wood. The ensuite bathroom has a bath and hand-held shower, basin and toilet.
The south-facing triple with TV/DVD player, which is perfect for children or teenagers, is decorated in a contemporary pale grey and white colour scheme with matching grey furniture.
Finally a large twin faces north and has beautiful views of La Bourgeoise and the Joux Plane. This room is decorated in a calming pale green and white.
There is a large family bathroom with bath and shower and a separate washing machine / drying room under the eaves.
The bedrooms are all chalet style with some sloping ceilings and exposed beams; all bedrooms have ample storage space, a mirror, hairdryer and reading / bedside lights.
Outside space:
The garden area is laid to lawn and extends around three sides of the chalet and is fenced, making it ideal for youngsters to play safely.
There are a number of large trees which provide welcome shade in the summer and there are lovely views of the slopes above Morillon, Mont Buet and the Marcelly.
In summer, a hammock, two sun loungers and a seating area comprising a large three seater sofa, two large armchairs, all with cushions, and a low table as well as a 3 m parasol are all provided. There's also a large square table and parasol, seating eight, for al fresco dining.
There is also a charcoal BBQ and a brazier for late summer / early autumn evenings, when it starts getting a little bit chilly. For those looking for a bit more activity there's a slackline.
On the first floor covered verandah there is a table seating six, which is a perfect any time of year or day, but particularly in the morning as the sun rises and a bench and two armchairs and two stools. There's also a hammock chair, which is supremely comfortable.
Last, but by no means least, is a large, seven seater Canadian Spa hot tub, which is available all year round.
Changeover day is normally Sunday, meaning guests benefit from a fantastic, quiet last day skiing on a Saturday. We can of course be flexible, particularly in off peak season and can also offer short breaks. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Lovely chalet in a peaceful location
Well presented, cosy chalet with a lovely balcony on three sides. There were five of us and we had plenty of space. Great instructions and info about local facilities, restaurants. Skiing easy to access and the chalet was very well equiped.
Only down side, for a chalet that includes cleaning, there were rather a lot of "cleaning" tasks required, eg stripping beds, emptying rubbish bins, kitchen clean tidy and everything put away etc.

Great house for families
We stayed at the house with two families of four and enjoyed it very much. The house is well-equipped and spacious enough for this group of eight people (including four kids aged 11-13). The hot tub was a real treat after a day of skiing. The communication with Claire was great and we felt very welcome. Would highly recommend!

Chalet très sympathique, bien équipé et propre
Le logement dispose de tout le nécessaire + quelques éléments luxe qui font la différence (jacuzzi, chauffe chaussure, barbecue, raclette..). Il est très propre et bien décoré. Il faut prendre la voiture pour tout, ce qui est souvent le cas avec les chalets mais les trajets sont limités à 3 minutes pour le pain et 4 mn pour le télécabine. Nous avons passé une belle semaine, je recommande.

Fantastic chalet!
It was the second time that we stayed with our family in this beautiful chalet. And like last year, we had a great week! The chalet is well-equipped, spacious, clean and the hot tub is a real treat after a day of skiing. The chalet is close to the Morillon ski lift and there are also great hiking possibilities nearby for people that don't ski. The property managers were super kind and were very helpful during our stay. We would definitely come back again!

Fantastic chalet in a peaceful location
Had an excellent holiday in this chalet- perfectly equipped for all our needs . Clair was so helpful in advance answering all our questions and the chalet is exactly as described. We made good use of the hot tub and gardens and the views from the chalet were great . So handy for trips to Morillon chair lifts, Samoens Telecabin, Sixt fer a Cheval and Morzine. There is plenty to do in this area over the summer even though only a few lifts are working and the weather was hot with impressive thunderstorms! Thank you for a wonderful time in your chalet Clair.

Very comfortable family chalet
Extremely conveniently located and well equipped chalet. Added bonus of large, private garden area with a hot tub and great views. Highly recommended. The owner Clair was very responsive and local property managers were there to answer any questions we had.

Lovely, comfortable house - close to skislopes and
Chalet Cristal is a lovely place to stay and a good location. It is a short drive to ski lifts in Morillon which has plenty of parking. It is a lovely 45 min walk along the river Giffre to reach the village Somoens (or a 10 min drive) - a town with still an authentic feel to it. The drive from Geneva airport was easy.
We staid with 4 adults and 3 children and the chalet felt spacious with plenty of seating on comfy sofas and large dining table. The 3 bathrooms meant no long queues in the morning. The kitchen was very well-equipped - enough cups and plates to keep us going from breakfast to dinner and night cuppa. The beds were good with nice, cotton sheets. But best of all was the wood stove which each evening warmed the house adding to the cosy atmosphere.
PS Do ask the owners for tips: they helped us with ski hire & recommended local restaurants and some nice walks.

Fantastic location; great facilities
We had a great stay at Chalet Cristal. The owner was very accommodating before and during our stay. The chalet is very comfortable with all the facitlities we required. It was a three minute trip to the telecabine station and short walks to a good boulangerie, pizzeria and delicatessen.

Amazing week at Chalet Cristal
We stayed with 8 adults at Chalet Cristal and we all loved it!
The living room is super spacious and has a fireplace, the kitchen has everything you need for people who like to cook, and the bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds. Additionaly, we loved the hot tub outside.
There is a bus stop nearby but we used the car since this was a bit faster and it was easy to park the car near the ski lift in Morillon.
We really recommend this chalet!

Wonderful well equipped chalet
Had a fabulous ski week. Chalet location only a 10-15 minute walk from the tele cabin. Ski bus at the end of the road but this obviously does stop early evening. Recommend hiring equipment and renting a locker.
Chalet was as described, well maintained and clean. Located in a quiet area but within walking distance to a couple of restaurants and bars.
Public transport very limited but took a taxi a couple of evenings into Samoens . Highly recommend Les Reposette restaurant for an evening out.

A fantastic find - we loved it!
We have skied many times in France but this was our first time in Morillon. Less than 60 mins from Geneva but with access to the whole of the Grand Massif. As a group of 6 (3 couples) we wanted a self catering chalet with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and my son (25) had also insisted on a hot tub. That's not so easy to find! This chalet was just perfect for us - a very spacious lounge and dining area, extremely well equipped kitchen, a choice of 4 bedrooms/3 baths and a lovely hot tub which was kept at a lovely bubbling 40 degrees. It was very cosy and warm even without the log burner and lots of hot water for showers and baths after a long days skiing. The chalet is on the bus route but personally I think it works better here with a car. We could drive to a choice of three/four lifts within a few minutes and there are a couple of good restaurants within walking distance. All in all a fantastic find!
