There’s no doubt that Apartment Gentianes’ ski-in, ski-out location overlooking the Pleney piste is its major selling point, but this doesn’t just mean minimal messing around, it also means that when you’re sitting on the balcony, whether first thing in the morning with a coffee (did we mention there’s a Nespresso machine?) or later on with something stronger, you’ve got the most amazing mountain panorama to admire.

The good news is that you get the same view from the living area, which is cosy, but perfectly formed, with absolutely everything you might need during your holiday (and always toasty, thanks to the underfloor heating.)

We’re talking large HD TV with Blu-ray player if the day’s exertions have wiped you out and all you’re fit for is a night on the sofa. And a kitchen complete with a fridge freezer, oven, 4-ring induction hob, microwave and dining table seating up to five. There’s even a dishwasher, so you can kickback and relax after dinner, without worrying about the washing up.

The modernised bathroom has top of the range facilities with a large rain shower, while the two spacious bedrooms have ample storage — although with a washing machine, drying room, ski locker and secure cycle storage on site, you can pack light and leave soggy kit elsewhere. The rooms sleep two, in either king size beds or twin beds, depending on what works best for your group.

You’re right on top of the Pleney lift with the slopes of Morzine and Les Gets just seconds away, and about a minute’s walk from shops, bars and restaurants. But should you feel the need to head further afield, the Super Morzine lift with access to Avoriaz and the rest of the Portes Du Soleil is a five minute walk, and the regular resort buses which will take you to the Prodains lift for direct access to Avoriaz, go from the stop just three minutes from the apartment.

Holidaying with more friends and family? Take a look at our other apartments within this chalet — Rhodos (sleeps up to 5 people) and Edelweiss (sleeps up to 8 people) — together the three make an excellent choice for groups of up to 17 looking for ski-in, ski-out, self-catered accommodation.
