Chalet Richebourg is a traditional Savoyard chalet, which has been refurbished and can sleep 8 plus 2 people comfortably in 4 rooms, 3 of which are en- suite. The en-suite rooms all have twin beds, which can be pushed together to form big comfy doubles; the third en-suite room sleeps up to 4 people using a bunk set. The fourth bedroom has a double bed and washbasin.

Upon entering the chalet, there is a large entrance hall, with a well equipped kitchen leading off to one side. Through double doors, the chalet has a spacious open plan sitting and dining room, cosy log fire for winter evenings, TV with UK BBC channels, video player and Playstation 2.

Accessed through a door off the dining area, there is a separate WC, washbasin and utility room with washer and dryer, fridge for cold drinks and a large freezer. The chalet is south-facing and the enclosed courtyard-style terrace receives the sun’s rays all day. We have got a heated boot-room, which will ensure that boots and coats, etc. will all be dry and warm for the next day's activity, whether it is skiing, walking or mountain biking.

See further information regarding rental differences between summer and winter.

In winter, the chalet can be booked for skiing and snowboarding holidays for up to 10 people on a catered or self-catered basis. If you choose to be catered-for, here's what's included in the price:
Continental breakfast, with French bread and croissants FRESH each day
Transfers to and from the slopes: we will whisk you to and from the ski lift of your choice every day - no more hanging around for the navette!
Aprés-ski snacks to assuage pre-dinner hunger pangs
Three course evening meal followed by cheese and coffee plus beer and wine on 6 out of every 7 nights
FREE transfers in our brand new private minivan to and from Geneva airport to the chalet (if staying for four nights or more)

Our flexibility of booking means you can take advantage of cheap midweek flights to and from Geneva Airport. As well as skiing, this area is increasingly popular for those wishing to snowshoe walk, see www.endlesstrails.co.uk.

The Chalet is only a 10 minute drive from Morzine, at the centre of the Portes du Soleil, the largest linked skiing area in the world; this ski area links 12 resorts in both France and Switzerland; combine the fun of skiing between the trees with the immensity of wide open slopes:
86 ski runs covering 650 km of piste
207 ski lifts
632 snow-canons, covering 367 hectares

Rental of the chalet for a self-catering holiday includes kindling and logs for fire, or fuel for BBQ, oil for heating, hot water and electricity and all linen and towels.

In summer, the chalet is available for self-catered or catered holidays.
Catered...
Our chalet-based self-guided walking holidays will provide you with a great holiday experience and a really varied and interesting selection of daily walks. Our walks take in the best that the area has to offer and have all been thoroughly researched. Off the beaten track - spectacular scenery, alpine pastures - We go that extra mile to make sure you have a really enjoyable walking holiday !

We can tailor our walks to suit the abilities of your Group, but remember, this is alpine country and the best views only come when you have earned them, so be prepared for some stiff ascents and tricky descents. Please note that some of the high-level walks can be dangerous in times of inclement weather and we reserve the right to subsitute other routes in this case. If you prefer a more relaxed approach, we can cater for you, with the “harder” walks intermingled with easier and/or shorter walks. Book a walking holiday for up to 8 people and stay at Chalet Richebourg. Our walking holiday includes:

Continental breakfast with croissants and baguettes FRESH each day
6 days of walking trails, with detailed route description, time taken, length of the walk and amount of ascent/descent.
Transport up to altitude to start that day's walk, plus collection at the end point.
Packed lunch
Snacks to assuage pre-dinner hunger pangs
Evening meal with cheese, wine/beer and coffee on 6 out of 7 nights
Transfers to and from Geneva airport to the chalet
We also offer shorter walking holidays which run from Saturday to Wednesday, these feature 3 days' walking trails, but with all the same services as detailed above - contact us for a price.

Please note: If your group consists of 6 people or less, we cannot guarantee that you will be walking by yourselves, as we may also have booked other people for the same dates

In summer, this is a great area for walking and, if you are renting the chalet self-catered, there is a comprehensive selection of circular walks for all levels of experience at the chalet.
