The strength of the reviews drew us to this chalet and it did not disappoint. We booked rather late in the day and were a little concerned about its slightly out of town position but this turned out to be no problem at all, in fact quite the opposite. The centre of Morzine is only a ten to fifteen minute walk away and the chalet is positioned right on the free bus route. This allowed us to get into town (for access to Morzine/Les Gets) or to get onto a connecting service up the valley to the Prodains Express telecabine up to Avoriaz. Similarly, taking the bus service from outside the chalet in the opposite direction takes you to the Ardent telecabine and straight up to the Les Lindarets area, another way to access the Avoriaz and Swiss areas. These are all short bus trips but there is also plenty of off street parking should you wish to bring a car.
The chalet was cosy and beautifully presented with a very modern kitchen, log burner, boot room with washer/dryer, Apple TV, Sonos sound system and great views from the balcony to name but a few of the main attributes. En suites in every room was also a welcome feature.
There were three young children in our group and they loved the chalet. There were high chairs and cots provided, a basket of toys and the balcony areas were all made safe.
We opted to get external catering into the chalet, with some of the party preferring to eat in every night and others wanting half in and half out at local restaurants. Darren was really helpful with suggestions and I could not recommend Kayleigh Mackenzie more highly. The menu was varied and delicious and she was incredibly flexible in fitting around our preferences. Truly fantastic.
Most notably, Darren was very supportive right from the first contact, keeping in regular phone contact to answer questions about local facilities, transport, restaurants (on and off the slopes), crĂšche and babysitter options, equipment hire and all the things you feel more comfortable about knowing before you travel. He never failed to get back to us really quickly with all the information we requested. As well as the chalet you also get an attentive local expert!
We had an amazing week in Chalet de Soie. The only thing left to chance was the snow.
