Self catered, B&B or half board

In summer we open chalets in Morzine and Les Gets in the peak summer months. We have selected these resorts as they offer the perfect location for a summer holiday in the mountains, and the chalets will provide a perfect retreat for families, groups or couples looking for a summer holiday.

Easily accessible by car, train or plane with short transfer times from airports and major cities. Some chalets can be booked by the room, others for sole occupancy. We can provide catering on a self catered, B&B or half board basis, it’s completely flexible.

The ultimate skiing venue

This is the ultimate skiing venue, at 1530 metres altitude, on the piste, in the main Les Gets ski area of Les Chavannes and next to all the lifts. Green, red and blue pistes weave back to the terrace through the woods. The unique location offers unbeatable ski in ski out access, easy links to ski into Morzine and the rest of the Portes du Soleil area and absolute serenity in the evening.

CLUB Altitude Lodge will cater for 12-22 guests in six en suite bedrooms, three of which have private hot tubs.

Save up to £100 pp

We're so excited to have this chalet back, don't forget we have our 'saver week' discount for all January dates so you could save up to £100 per person by booking early.

If you are considering skiing this winter and have any questions we’d love to hear from you.

Complete transformation

When Andy Sturt, MD of VIP SKI, acquired the building it was a small provincial mountain restaurant, traditionally French from the charming wooden cladding to the slightly eccentric murals which decorated the walls. Over the course of three years (you can only renovate in the summer months!) we refurbished the property from top to bottom, extending upwards and completely replacing the roof. We retained the endearing details which make the building so homely but updated everything else to the high standard expected of a modern hotel.

The project certainly wasn’t without its challenges, with regular stoppages to rehouse the marmottes who would try to take shelter in the basement. They can still be spotted by eagle-eyed guests in the summer months.

Creating happy memories since 2011

We first opened Altitude Lodge back in December 2011 and have welcomed over 2,500 friends and families keen to discover the Portes du Soleil ski area and the resort of Les Gets.

Les Gets has always maintained a certain sleepy cache and exclusivity when compared to Morzine, its nearest, better known neighbour.  The resort centre is a delightful mix of cobbled streets, piste side bars and traffic free retail therapy. Altitude Lodge sits 300 metres above Les Gets in Les Chavannes. The setting provides a skier’s dream, right on the slopes with balconies overlooking the piste, and three bedrooms even have private hot tub.

This year we have taken the decision to close the lunchtime bar and restaurant so that guests can have sole use of the entire property and terrace. Anyone seeking peace and quiet is sure to find it here.

Here’s to many more wonderful years

Thanks to all our guests who have helped to make fantastic memories over the past ten years. We can’t wait to see what the next decade holds.

If, however, you’d prefer to fly from another regional airport, we’ll endeavour to find a suitable flight for you.

Our charter flights include seats on our coach transfers and where possible, we’ll reserve a seat on our transfer if you’re arriving from a regional airport.  We can also pre-book private taxis or smaller shared transfer services on your behalf, just ask our Sales Team for more information.

If you prefer to book your own flights and transfers, we can offer up to £150pp independent travel discount.
