Chalet Douceur des Sommets

With arguably the best views in town and all the luxury features you could ever wish for, Chalet Douceur des Sommets is a truly exciting new addition to our portfolio. While such an enviable location usually comes with a heavy toll on already tired legs, Douceur des Sommets is just a 10-minute walk from the centre of town and the Super Morzine lift, whisking you up to the snow-sure pistes of Avoriaz in no time at all.

The owners of Douceur des Sommets spent months looking at property in Morzine but couldn’t find anything that ticked all the boxes. They knew exactly what they wanted – sunshine, glorious views and walking distance to town – but they simply couldn’t find it. They returned home disheartened and then by pure chance were offered a plot of land right next to where they had stayed for many years previously. Fast forward three years and Douceur des Sommets (and her smaller sister Three Bears) opened their doors to guests for the first time.

On entering the chalet and walking past the boot room, you can take the elevator up to the first floor for the fully-equipped gym, or continue to the second floor and into the heart of the chalet. The huge state-of-the-art cinema room comfortably seats 12 and features a cocktail bar across the back wall, with extra seating in the form of bar stools. On the same floor you will find a large bunk room that sleeps four, complete with an en suite bathroom. The four en suite double bedrooms on the next floor all feature balconies for when you want to enjoy the spectacular views in private.

The top floor comprises the open-plan kitchen/dining area, with steps leading up to a large mezzanine lounge with comfortable seating, a large screen TV and log fire. Floor-to-ceiling windows make the most of views across town to the mountains beyond and the slopes of the Pleney. A large wrap around balcony with a dining table and plenty of comfy seating is perfect for a spot of al fresco dining in the summer, or for enjoying a few apres ski drinks and watching the sunset. The landscaped garden area out the back of the chalet is the perfect place to relax after a day on the slopes, with a large hot tub, barrel sauna and fire pit to enjoy.

We are huge fans of cinema rooms in luxury ski chalets and the one in Douceur des Sommets certainly does not disappoint. This is so much more than just a massive TV in a darkened room – this is a proper cinema room with plenty of comfy seating and incredible surround sound, topped off with a huge cocktail bar across the back wall. Mix up a couple of Manhattans, relax and enjoy the latest Hollywood blockbuster in true style. Or grab a cuppa, snuggle up and binge on your favourite Netflix show. For those nights when you are just too tired to drag yourself off to the hot tub.

Located a little way up the hill beneath the gondolas of the Super Morzine lift, Douceur des Sommets has arguably the best views in town. Relax on the large south-facing terrace and enjoy a drink while watching the sun set as the last skiers make their way down the Pleney. Sure, the skiing part was great fun but isn’t this what it’s all really about?

Everything is finished to the high specifications you would expect from a modern, luxury chalet, and there are abundant details and finishing touches that reflect the discerning eye of the owners.

Douceur des Sommets is the perfect base to enjoy everything that Morzine and the larger Portes du Soleil have to offer. We are sure it will be incredibly popular with our guests all-year-round and for many years to come. Douceur des Sommets is perfect rented on it’s own for groups of up to 12 people, or in connection with Three Bears where you have a combined capacity of up to 20 people.
