Summer here in the Alps gives opportunity for a huge array of activities, Mountain biking, white water rafting, canoeing, paragliding, golfing, climbing and walking. There is a summer swimming lake in Morillon, a short walking distance from the chalet. It has a man made sandy 'beach' and diving stages. a short drive away at Plessey there are numerous lakes that by mid summer are quite warm to swim in.

The chalet is in the Giffre valley at approximately 800 metres on the edge of Morillon and 2km away from the old town of Samoens. The area is renowned for white water activities with a number of rafting and canoeing companies nearby. The valley is 23km long, starting above Cluses and running in a gentle incline to Sixt where the road rises steeply to a dead end. It is ideal for relaxing road cycling with more difficult paths and tracks off. The Grand Massif lift system runs several key lifts during the summer months for mountain biking. We have a number of quality mountain bikes available for guests to use.

  • Walking through endless marked trails throughout the Alps.
