Chalet du Bois is situated on the nursery slopes in the centre of Morzine. The design brief was very simple: ‘a picture postcard, chocolate box mountain retreat’. We sought to fuse traditional Alpine decor with contemporary design; and so to the original timber panelled walls, log stove and weathered oak floors, has been added a cool veneer that includes smart en suite bathrooms and wide-screen home cinema. The staple diet of the modern day skier has not been forgotten, with a basement sauna for apres-ski relaxation and an outside hot tub into which you can tumble from the piste. The chalet also has a large family suite with private lounge; perfect for a little privacy and seclusion.

Imagine all the pleasure of a dinner party with friends every evening for a week; without the cooking, the taxi, the babysitter or the washing up. You don’t even have to bring a bottle, our celebrated sommelier has taken care of that. Nothing whets the appetite quite like a day on the mountain. Fuel your passion with a full hearty breakfast and then reward your daily exertions with a seductively sinful teatime treat balanced by an evening of healthy fine dining.

Our Executive Chef is passionate about food and hugely sensitive to the appetite of hungry skier and healthy palate. The new and refined 2012 menus are heavy enough to reward mountain exertion yet light and simple enough to leave you grinning not groaning.

If you are staying in one of our larger CLUB chalets then your chef will be offering canapés and a choice of menu every evening; a little more choice to pander the penchant of everyone in the party.
