Chalet Koala is privately owned and situated in a small community of French owned chalets that are occupied throughout the year.
Built in the traditional French style, the chalet is a blend of pine panelling, wood beams and natural stone. The flexible accommodation and open plan living areas can comfortably cater for small groups, large families or chalet parties at any time of the year.
The owners have been running Chalet Koala for a number of seasons and they have the necessary experience and hand picked staff to be able to place the enjoyment and welfare of guests above all else.
The living room features a large fireplace and is equipped with a satellite TV, video and a Hi-Fi, along with tea and coffee making facilities.
The basement Games Room allows the sports theme to be continued indoors with table tennis, darts and table football. An adjoining 'PS2 Room' is equipped with a TV, video, Hi-Fi and a Playstation 2 for the boys (I meant the children!).
A Sauna in the basement helps ease aching limbs after a strenuous day on the slopes and the chalet's in-house bodyworks therapist specialises in a range of treatments and healing.
An honesty bar in the lounge helps round off the evening.
Children's meals are served earlier during the Winter season.
Jack Frost's child day-care centre is in Ardent by the ski lift. If enough children are staying, it is possible to arrange for Jack Frost's to provide day-care at Chalet Koala.
The old village of Morzine is at the heart of the Portes du Soleil ski area that saddles the French/Swiss border. Nestled around its old church, it has escaped the concrete that has ravaged other resorts and retained the charm and warmth of traditional stone and pine chalets. In addition to the skiing adventures that are on offer in the Portes du Soeil area, a holiday at Chalet Koala caters for those who may want a break from the slopes or the non-skiers who have joined a family winter holiday. Places to visit include historic lakeside Annecy, with its old town, shops. Geneva, with boat trips across Lake Geneva to Swiss Lausanne. Medieval Yvoire, and Chamonix where worlds highest lift that takes you to 3,842 meters provides stunning alpine views across to Mont Blanc.
