Chalet Les Geckos - Vallée de la Manche - Morzine - French Alps

Chalet Les Geckos is in the Vallée de la Manche in Morzine. One of a small number of local architect designed new-build chalets and renovated farms known collectively as Secret Chalets, Chalet Les Geckos offers you a contemporary blend of glass and wood created from local materials to bespoke design. Surrounded by mountains, rivers, waterfalls, forest ski and bike trails, which meander into alpine meadows, you will feel a million miles from civilisation here - whilst still on the edge of the bustling ski resort Morzine with its chic shops, restaurants and nightlife. From ice skating to mountain biking and waterpark pools and slides, from rock climbing to skiing and snowboarding, Morzine has it all - and most of it is right on our doorstep at Chalet Les Geckos........

... you will find peace here nestled high in the Alps … Chalet Les Geckos is different ... of course you can ski, snowboard, skate, snowshoe and do all the winter activities you can think of ... but there is something else about this place ... the views ... the peace ... the abundant wildlife ... the forest behind the chalet with its streams and waterfalls … maybe it is the unique combination of all of these ... maybe it is none ... perhaps it is the feeling of being really in the mountains and not just in a ski resort ... perhaps not ... perhaps it is just that illusive French "je ne sais quoi" ... if you work it out then please let us know ... either way … you will enjoy Chalet Les Geckos ...

...in summer the snowy blanket gives way to all the colour in the world as nature rejuvenates all that has been frozen ... a sea of Alpine flowers replaces the garden snow and sledges are replaced with zip wires and bow-and-arrows ... impromptu creations children are so good at devising when left to themselves in nature's playground ... beyond the garden there's everything from mountain biking to rock climbing, lakes and waterparks ... but there is something else here ... Chalet Les Geckos is different ... that "je ne sais quoi" is there in summer too … perhaps more so ... come and discover the secret we have found in this wonderful corner of the world ...

... the mountain town of Morzine is nestled on the Swiss French border made famous for slate and gold mining ... now a ski resort in winter and a mountain biking mecca in summer it retainins its authentic charm ...
