Apartment Aovol | 2-Bedroom Chalet with Hot Tub in Morzine
Holiday Home Rental Description
Five guests, two bedrooms, one location that puts you 300 metres from Morzine’s Super Morzine lift: Apartment Aovol sits at the heart of the Portes du Soleil’s most accessible resort. This chalet apartment rental in Morzine combines alpine convenience with modern residential comfort, offering a base for winter skiing or summer mountain exploration without sacrificing the practical amenities that make a stay effortless.
Inside Apartment Aovol
Apartment Aovol sleeps 5 guests across 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, spread across 53 square metres of thoughtfully planned interior space. The open-plan living area functions as the heart of the apartment—a generous L-shaped sofa anchors the room, facing a Smart TV ideal for quieter evenings. The dining section seats all five guests comfortably around a single table, making it easy to share meals after outdoor adventures.
The kitchen runs along one wall, equipped with essentials that encourage self-catering: a full-sized oven and hob for proper cooking, a fridge freezer for weekly shop storage, microwave for quick meals, electric kettle, and a coffee machine that delivers decent espresso each morning. A dishwasher handles cleanup efficiently. Bookshelves in the living space hold reading material for the quieter hours.
Bedroom One features a double bed, suitable for couples or primary sleepers. Bedroom Two contains a double bed with a single bed positioned above it—a practical arrangement for families with a child or for groups where space optimisation matters. The shared bathroom incorporates a walk-in shower, sink, and WC. A separate guest WC provides additional convenience when the main bathroom is in use.
Central heating maintains warmth throughout the apartment during colder months. A washing machine handles laundry needs for longer stays. Hairdryers in both bedrooms mean guests don’t need to pack them. Wi-Fi connects throughout the apartment, ensuring work-from-mountain flexibility if needed. All of this sits within the apartment’s 53 square metres of interior floor space, designed to maximise usability without wasted corridors or dead zones.
Outdoor Spaces and Living
Beyond the apartment walls, a private balcony measuring 31 square metres extends the living area into mountain air. This is where morning coffee tastes better and evening conversations drift into the quiet hours when Morzine’s daytime bustle fades. The balcony faces the surrounding peaks—not a dramatic vista necessarily, but views that remind you of where you are.
A dedicated ski locker allows guests to store equipment securely overnight, protecting skis and boards from the elements and removing clutter from the apartment interior. Parking is included—a valuable feature in a busy resort where street parking can frustrate. The building provides access to a shared wellness area, available to guests for an additional fee paid locally. This facility includes a sauna for post-ski muscle recovery, a hammam for gentle warmth, a jacuzzi for soaking tired legs, and a gym for those who maintain fitness routines even on holiday.
Location: Morzine and the Surrounding Area
Morzine functions as the Portes du Soleil’s most practical hub, and Apartment Aovol’s position within walking distance of the town centre makes it exceptionally convenient. The Super Morzine lift station sits approximately 300 metres away—a three-minute walk or a short local shuttle ride—connecting you to over 600 kilometres of skiable terrain spanning France and Switzerland. From gentle slopes ideal for learners through to the challenging descents at Avoriaz (accessible by cable car from Morzine), the ski area accommodates every ability level. Snowboarding terrain parks, cross-country trails, and off-piste opportunities round out winter options.
The town itself clusters restaurants, bars, and cafés within the immediate vicinity. Morzine’s street market runs regularly during peak season, selling local produce, cheeses, and fresh bread. Supermarkets including the central Intermarché provide everything needed for self-catering. The village character remains intact despite its status as a major resort—genuine mountain town atmosphere rather than commercial sprawl.
When snow melts, summer transforms the area entirely. Hiking trails spider out from Morzine in all directions, with routes ranging from gentle valley walks through alpine meadows to challenging ridge traverses. Mountain biking dominates the summer season, with purpose-built trails and shuttle services making downhill runs accessible. Lac de Montriond, a pristine mountain lake located 5 kilometres south of Morzine, offers swimming, paddleboarding, and kayaking. The Dranse River provides fishing opportunities for those with appropriate permits.
Avoriaz, perched at 1,800 metres and 15 kilometres from Morzine, offers dramatic altitude views and is a paragliding launch site during summer months. Les Gets, 11 kilometres away, hosts Europe’s premier mountain bike festivals and maintains extensive trail networks. Chamonix lies 65 kilometres northwest, home to Mont-Blanc and distinct alpine culture. Geneva Airport sits approximately 90 kilometres away (roughly 90 minutes by car), providing international access to the Portes du Soleil region.
Winter season peaks December through February, with reliable snow at higher elevations. Easter holidays bring crowds despite variable snow conditions. Summer season runs July through August, with perfect hiking and biking weather. September offers emptier trails with mild temperatures.

Who This Villa Suits Best
Apartment Aovol works exceptionally well for small families—the double-plus-single arrangement in Bedroom Two creates a natural space for parents plus one child. Two-couple groups also fit the layout comfortably, with couples sharing each bedroom and the living area providing genuine social space. Friends travelling together appreciate the informal atmosphere and proximity to village restaurants.
Winter sports enthusiasts benefit from the immediate ski access and secure equipment storage. Summer outdoor enthusiasts—hikers, cyclists, paddleboarders—use the apartment as a convenient base for daily adventures rather than needing to spend time on transfers. Multi-generational groups with grandparents, adult children, and one grandchild can allocate bedrooms according to their specific sleeping arrangements. Solo travellers seeking a mountain environment with social opportunities find the central location ideal.
Remote workers considering an extended mountain stay will appreciate reliable Wi-Fi and a functioning kitchen for daily living. Guests requiring babysitting or chef services can arrange these through the property management team, though these incur separate fees beyond the base rental.

Frequently Asked Questions about Apartment Aovol
How many guests does Apartment Aovol sleep?
Apartment Aovol accommodates 5 guests maximum. The sleeping arrangement comprises: Bedroom One with a double bed (suitable for 2 guests), Bedroom Two with a double bed plus a single bed above it (suitable for 3 guests—typically 2 adults and 1 child, or 3 adults if one accepts the single bunk). The open-plan living area contains an L-shaped sofa which could theoretically accommodate additional sleeping, but this is not the intended arrangement. The maximum stated capacity of 5 should not be exceeded.
What is the nearest airport to Apartment Aovol in Morzine?
Geneva Airport (Aéroport International de Genève) is the closest major international airport, situated approximately 90 kilometres northwest of Morzine. The drive via the A40 motorway typically takes 90 minutes to 2 hours depending on traffic and snow conditions. Winter journeys may take longer due to weather. Car rental and transfer services can be arranged through the property at the time of booking. Chamonix airport offers an alternative closer option for some European connections, located 65 kilometres away (approximately 75 minutes’ drive).
What is the best time of year to rent Apartment Aovol?
Winter season (December through February) provides the most reliable snow conditions across the Portes du Soleil’s high-altitude terrain, with guaranteed skiing on upper slopes. The trade-off is higher prices and busier slopes during school holidays (mid-December through early January, and mid-February through early March). January and early February offer a middle ground—solid snow conditions with fewer crowds. Easter holidays (March/April) bring family visitors but snow reliability decreases significantly below 1,500 metres. Summer season (July through August) guarantees perfect hiking and mountain biking weather with warm daytime temperatures (typically 18-22°C) and cool nights. September offers exceptional autumn hiking with reduced crowds and mild weather. October brings unpredictable conditions as snow can arrive early at higher elevations.
Is Apartment Aovol suitable for families with children?
Yes, Apartment Aovol functions well for families with children. The dedicated single bed in Bedroom Two creates a natural sleeping space for a child, while parents occupy the double bed in the same room—allowing visual supervision overnight if needed. The apartment’s compact size means family members remain close during the day, which some families prefer. Babysitting can be arranged through the property management for evenings when parents wish to dine out. Winter skiing can begin from age 3 or 4 at Morzine’s dedicated learning areas; summer activities like hiking and paddleboarding suit children of all ages when properly supervised. The town of Morzine itself is genuinely family-oriented, with parks, playgrounds, and family-focused restaurants. Access to the building’s shared facilities (with parental supervision) provides evening entertainment beyond television.

Use of the shared wellness facility (sauna, hammam, jacuzzi, gym) is available but charged separately at a locally-determined rate—this is not included in the base price.
