Chalet Les Trois Sieges

Chalet Les Trois Sieges is a breath-taking, luxury ski chalet located at the foot of a mix of blue and red pistes on the slopes above Morzine, with three chairlifts all a maximum of two minutes away. This is ski in/ski out skiing at its pinnacle, combined with sublime interiors and fabulous food and wine. It’s a genuinely rare treat.

An impeccable combination of traditional Alpine chalet (it used to be a cow barn) with luxury interiors. The living areas feature contemporary furniture with a nod to the origins of the barn. Think plenty of dark reclaimed wood, lush velvet sofas and designer lighting.

This luxury Morzine ski chalet has five en-suite rooms, four with showers and one with a bath and shower. Each is stocked with plentiful Cowshed products and soft White Company linen, towels and robes. Four rooms can be twin or Superking, one can be twin or King.

Two can also have an additional bed made up, making them triples, so the chalet can sleep 12 in total.

The food policy at this luxury catered ski chalet is delicious home cooked food created by the lovely owner Amanda, using the very best ingredients. She offers five courses each night, and there is no chef’s night off because of the location of the chalet.

I dined on meltingly good lamb rump with a red wine and pink peppercorn jus and potato-courgette-cherry tomato stack. Pud was a truly delicious rhubarb and custard tart with homemade honeycomb ice cream, followed by a generous cheeseboard then coffee and homemade truffles.

Each evening excellent wines are paired with dinner too, and there is a well stocked open bar. The chalet has an extensive range of wines available at no extra cost, mostly sourced from vineyards the owners have visited across Europe. They are passionate about their wines and Amanda has a level 3 WSET (Wines & Spirits Education Trust) qualification. Wine tasting evenings are also offered to guests, such as France versus the New World or blind tasting bubbles.

This luxury Morzine ski chalet has a lovely, peaceful outdoor hot tub. A sauna is planned for 2020/21 season, as is a separate treatment room.

Older children will love Chalet Les Sieges, but it is not ideal for very little ones. Aside from the super-fun 8-minute skidoo ride to get to the chalet, there is a mezzanine area with a games console for older children and a cinema room where they can watch their own films. Board games are also provided.

One word of warning though: they must be able to ski a blue run and manage a chairlift, otherwise getting to ski school is difficult.

The fabulous interiors and the genuine on-the-slopes location, meaning guests can easily ski straight back to the chalet at any time of the day.

Because the chalet is located right up on the slopes, there is no going out in the evenings. It is too far to walk into town. But it is a beautiful, secluded spot.
