The local holiday accommodation landscape is changing. Once upon a time I’d share a long list of brand new catered ski chalets on these pages, ready and waiting to welcome you. These days there’s much more variety on offer; self-catered penthouse apartments; huge chalets with a meal delivery service; flexible serviced apartments next to the ski lifts. You’ll find all of these and more across Morzine, Les Gets, Avoriaz, Montriond and Saint Jean d’Aulps this winter.
Chalet Babayaga
Entirely unique and resembling an English country cottage in the heart of Avoriaz, Chalet Babayaga is available to rent for the first time this winter. Spanning three floors and including six bedrooms, this beautiful ski-in, ski-out property sleeps groups of up to 12 people with 250m2 to enjoy. The living space is warm and welcoming, there’s an all-singing, all-dancing kitchen for self-catered holidays and the views from the balcony over the slopes of the Arare are exceptional. Chalet Babayaga is available to rent exclusively through Avoriaz Holidays as part of their premium holiday range.
Chalet Le Grizzly
This newly-constructed ski-in, ski-out chalet in Les Gets sleeps up to 14 people in six bedrooms with seven bathrooms and a stunning location. Check out the interiors first however… the spacious, open plan living area will be perfect for group gatherings in front of the fire after a day on the slopes – there’s even a sauna and a hot tub too! The south-facing terrace will be perfect for springtime afternoons whilst the games room is sure to be a hit with mini skiers. Le Grizzly comes complete with the Chalets 1066 premium service, including champagne on arrival, lift pass delivery and a final clean.
Le Cosy
Cosy by name, cosy by nature. This gorgeous little chalet is in Ardent, at the foot of the telecabine with quick and easy access to Avoriaz.

Brand new for this winter season and occupying a slightly elevated spot between Morzine and Montriond, the incredible interiors are the star of the show at Chalet Kaya. Groups of up to 8 people can enjoy the stylish 4 bedrooms here, there’s also a private cinema room, a garden and sunny terrace too. Gather around the log fire after a day on the slopes or take in the valley views from the enormous full-height windows. We love the unique artwork, the huge kitchen and the location, just a short walk from the free shuttle bus stop.
Chalet Avalon
One of the most luxurious chalets to launch in Les Gets in a long time, Chalet Avalon is perched on the side of the valley, overlooking the rooftops of the village, pistes and peaks. Inside you’ll discover five large bedrooms, six bathrooms and hotel-style facilities such as a private sauna, hot tub and hammam, luxury bed linens and towels plus an all-singing, all dancing kitchen which is perfect for self-catered holidays.

There’s also an underground garage, plenty of ski storage and even bike lockers too! The kitchen is all singing, all dancing, making it perfect for a self catered break.
Chalet Le Mirador
One of the most distinctive chalets on the sunny side of Morzine’s valley, Le Mirador has been entirely reimagined by its owners; sumptuous, expansive interiors are on display throughout and you’ll notice those signature Shep&Kyles interiors too.
