Apartment Mattenant | 4-Bedroom Chalet in Morzine

Eight guests, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and direct access to one of the world’s largest ski networks—this is what awaits when you arrive at Apartment Mattenant in Morzine. Positioned less than 200 metres from the Super Morzine Cable Car, this contemporary chalet apartment sits at the nerve centre of the Portes du Soleil region, where alpine adventure meets year-round convenience. The apartment occupies 87 square metres across two floors of a newly constructed residence that respects traditional Alpine architecture while delivering modern comforts.

Inside Apartment Mattenant

Apartment Mattenant sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The ground floor opens into a unified living space where a sofa, armchairs, and wood-burning fireplace occupy one end, while floor-to-ceiling windows deliver unobstructed mountain views across the Morzine slopes. A Smart TV mounted above the fireplace provides entertainment on rest days. The dining table seats eight comfortably, positioned to catch the same outlook. Adjacent, the kitchen is fully equipped with a full-size oven, hob, microwave, kettle, toaster, fridge-freezer, and notably, a dedicated wine fridge—an understated nod to the excellence of French Alpine hospitality. A washing machine sits discreetly within the kitchen footprint.

Access to the furnished balcony—complete with outdoor dining tables and chairs—extends the living area into the fresh mountain air, making this the natural gathering point for morning coffee or evening aperitifs. From here, the vista sweeps across the valley and surrounding peaks, changing character with each season.

The master bedroom (Bedroom 1) offers flexible sleeping arrangements: a 160x200cm double bed or two separate 80x200cm singles, depending on your group’s composition. An en-suite shower room, complete with WC and sink, serves this space privately. Bedroom 2 mirrors this design—the same convertible bed configuration with its own shower en-suite. Bedroom 3 maintains continuity with identical flexible bedding and a dedicated en-suite shower. The fourth bedroom takes a different approach, featuring a bunk bed (two 80x200cm singles stacked) suitable for children or younger guests, plus a small desk tucked into the corner, transforming this room into a second living zone if needed.

A third bathroom with shower, WC, and sink serves the bunk bedroom and the broader apartment. Throughout the interior, amenities include central heating (essential during the long Alpine winter), hairdryers in each bathroom, and Wi-Fi connectivity reaching all corners of the property. Smart TV access means streaming entertainment in the living area while the wood-burning fireplace provides both warmth and ambiance on evenings when the temperature drops.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The furnished balcony is more than a viewing platform—it functions as a secondary living room. Tables and chairs are permanently positioned to capitalise on the mountain panorama, whether you’re watching sunrise illuminate the Portes du Soleil peaks or sunset paint the sky in shades of amber and rose. This is where guests naturally congregate with morning coffee or evening drinks, making it the social hub of the apartment during fair weather.

A private ski locker at ground level eliminates the need to haul equipment through living spaces—essential when eight guests are managing multiple sets of skis, boots, and boards. Dedicated parking is allocated, removing the stress of hunting for spaces in the compact Morzine town centre during peak season.

Location: Morzine and the Surrounding Area

Morzine sits at 1,000 metres elevation in the Haute-Savoie département, functioning as the western gateway to the Portes du Soleil ski circuit. The apartment’s proximity to Super Morzine Cable Car means you move from breakfast to first lift within minutes—a critical advantage when managing group schedules and maximising skiing time. The Portes du Soleil encompasses 12 interconnected ski villages across France and Switzerland, offering 600 kilometres of marked runs serving all ability levels. From the apartment, beginners access nursery slopes at Morzine itself, while experienced skiers venture to higher-altitude terrain at Avoriaz (15km uphill) or link into the Swiss side via the Chavannes lift.

The town centre stands 100 metres downhill from Apartment Mattenant—a short walk reaches the Grand Place, where the Tuesday and Saturday markets display local produce, fromage, and charcuterie. Supermarkets including Carrefour and Intermarché occupy the central shopping streets, adequate for self-catering, though the abundance of restaurants and cafés makes cooking optional. For après-ski culture, establishments along Rue du Bourg cater to all energy levels, from lively bars with live music to quieter wine bars suitable for early dinners. The Pharmacie Centrale and Doctor’s surgery are located within the town, addressing health needs for larger groups.

Day trips expand significantly from this location.

The Swiss border lies 15km to the south—Geneva Airport sits 90km away (90-minute drive), accessible via the autoroute A40. For summer mountain biking, the Portes du Soleil operates cable cars allowing uphill access to trails of varying difficulty, with gravity trails and purpose-built bike parks centred on Avoriaz and Châtel (20km southeast).
