Chalet Les Sapins
is situated on a hillside against a backdrop of pine trees on the
Piste des Nants overlooking the Vallée des Ardoisières
in Morzine.
At 1100m, the chalet’s
ideal location at the edge of the village offers ski–in and ski-out from
the chalet, when snow permits, picking up the main Plénéy télécabine and
téléski lifts in the centre of the village via a 500m green run -
Retour des Nants – 50m from the chalet. From here you can
directly access the Morzine/Les Gets ski area. The Petit Train
runs a regular service between the Plénéy and Super-Morzine lifts for
Avoriaz, Chatel and Switzerland. A free Navette ski bus service runs
between Morzine and the Nyon, Les Prodains and Ardents lift stations.
