Belle Folie is a new build four bedroom (all en suite) traditional style French ski chalet situated in the small Alpine village of St Jean D'Aulps, 6km from the resort of Morzine in the Rhones-Alps region of France. This holiday rental chalet is just a little over an hour drive from Geneva airport in the heart of the Portes du Soleil area which offers the largest international ski area in the world with over 650km of marked runs catering for all levels of skiing, and 350km of marked paths for mountain biking, walking and hiking. It is just a 10 minute walk to the shops, bars and restaurants in the village centre but benefits from the kind of fantastic views and tranquil setting the French Alps are famous for. It has outside Hot Tub and all mod cons, and is ideally situated for activity holidays such as skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, walking, hiking, swimming, watersports, fishing, golfing, and horse-riding. The Morzine area of the Alps has excellent facilities.
Une intéressante localisation dans les hauteurs du village. Bien conçu et de construction récente, il offre de beaux et pratiques espaces communs et pour les chambres. Un jaccuzi permet de se délasser. On recommande le chalet belle folie. Le seul accroc, le ménage n’avait pas été vraiment fait pour notre arrivée et les précédents locataires n’avaient vraisemblablement pas fait beaucoup d’efforts (poussière, vaisselle, toilettes). Nous y reviendrons cependant car nous avons très apprécié le séjour. L’accueil a été excellent et efficace. Aucune difficulté à l’arrivee comme au départ.
