Thollon Les Mémises - In the Winter Season

The Apartment is just 300 metres walk from the Télécabine (cable car) station which takes you up into the Ski area of the resort.

Maximum height 2000m (Lowest Lift 1500m)

This is a beautiful and safe environment for families in this family focused resort.  For more accomplished skiers, Bernex ski resort is 15 minutes drive by car and the extensive Porte de Soleil ski domain is about 45 minutes drive away, with Chamonix approximately an hour away.

There are excellent runs for beginners through to intermediate as well as facilities for snowboarders and cross-country skiers.  Snow cannons are available to supplement the natural snowfall and ensures great skiing throughout the season.

Winter Season is around 19th - 21st December through to 19th - 21st April.

Skiing/Snow Shoeing - Alpine skiing with wonderful views of Lake Geneva and the Alps.  Although not a large ski area (16 pistes over 50km and 6km of cross-country tracks), it has something to offer all ages so is great for the family whether snow boarding, sledging or skiing.  For equipment hire try these two rental stores in the village (Yeti Sports), (Savoy Ski) or (Meda Sports).  Piste map is below :-

 

Children's Ski School - The Ecole du Ski Francaise (ESF) runs the children's ski school during the school holidays in the Garden of Snow - accessible via the Télécabine and at a height of 1600mtrs. For more details on prices and dates then visit the ESF website at (www.esfthollon.com)

Cross Country Skiing - There is also 6-kilometres starting at the top of the Télécabine and follows the edge of Les Mémises to the summit at 1674mtrs, with spectacular views of the surrounding countryside and the lake.

Horse Sleigh Rides - Once a week during the school holidays at Christmas and in February there are local sleigh rides on offer.  For a real treat, why not visit nearby Avoriaz, a car free ski resort offers horse sleigh rides throughout the ski season and more advanced pistes.
