The Chilly Powder way

Chilly Powder have been leading the way in bespoke winter & summer mountain holidays in Morzine since 1996.  Whether you value the on piste location, childcare or a 'home from home' atmosphere - we have it all

In winter, the ski pistes from Morzine Avoriaz descend straight into our back garden and the main cable car, just a very short walk from all 3 chalets takes you to the heart of  Morzine Avoriaz skiing with the best access to the vast Portes du Soleil ski area. In summer, Morzine transforms into a haven of mountain activities, great views, exhilarating sports and fresh air.

Why are we different?

Chilly Powder is owned and run by Francesca & Paul and with our 3 children Ben, Eloise and Jamie, and we all love living in Morzine. We have made many friends over the years and for our many returning guests Chilly Powder it is considered a real home from home.

Whether your greatest needs are childcare in our crèche, excellent food or a ski to the door location, we have everything covered and all with a ‘nothing is too much trouble’ approach from all our friendly and professional staff.

There are numerous catered ski chalets in Morzine but just a privileged few can boast a true ski to the door and on piste location. All bedrooms in every catered chalet have en-suite bathrooms, there is an outdoor hot tub and massage room and in-house childcare is provided in our own crèche. Our ski chalets are absolutely unique in Morzine for offering the highest levels of childcare, cuisine, facilities and location. 

Chilly Powder and our sustainability initiatives

 

Composting

We have 4 compost bins and all raw vegetables/ fruit/ brown paper, coffee grains, tea bags and garden waste from the hotel, gets taken up each day to our composts.  These are turned and moved along to the next bin to decompose, then, eventually used on the summer flower beds, windows boxes etc.

Bathroom products

We no longer provide tiny shampoo, conditioners in each bedroom but have large refillable bottles of bathroom products.

We work with ‘Marius Fabre’ who are a family run business, based in Provence since 1900 and only use natural ingredients in their products.  Savon de Marseille, Olive oil and natural, locally sourced perfumes like lavender, verveine etc

 

Left over wine

Our red wine is used to make Red wine Vinegar that is then used all summer by the kitchens

 

Cleaning products

As we are a hotel we are obliged to use certain products but we do try to use bicarbonate of soda and vinegar wherever possible

 

Laundry washing

We change bed linen after a one week stay, unless otherwise requested

Towels are changed once a week unless otherwise requested

 

Loo Rolls

We use “who Gives a Crap” a loo roll that is 100% bamboo.  They also donate 50% of their profits to help build toilets and improve sanitation world wide

 

Chilly Powder Provence

We do not have any chemicals here.  The whole property is based on biodegradable products

Nearly everything is homemade from the soaps, the breakfast jams, to the fruit juices and the cereals etc

Everything is recycled or composted

 

The things the guests leave behind

We keep everything for 6 months and then the left over clothes/ shoes / bits etc. are then taken to a charity shop where it is either sold for charity or sent to refugee areas

Why is “ski to the door” so important?

You are not tied to leaving a chalet in the morning at a set time to take courtesy transport and when you have finished skiing you do not have to wait for others who are late. 
No queuing for a ski bus to get to the slopes in the morning and no long walks. It's skis off and straight to a comfy sofa for afternoon tea or a well-earned drink in the bar or the hot tub!

What our guests say about us

“Half term family ski holiday”

We had a great time at Chilly Powder. Our children (aged 5 and 7) had a wonderful time and made some great friends so we were all happy. There isn't much I can add to the already glowing reviews other than to say that I had a fantastic massage in the yurt from Natalie (and I am quite fussy). This...

Kirsten, the chalet chef, cooked amazing food...

“Just totally brilliant - will definitely come back again and again”

Briefly, this was our first trip abroad with our 1 year old boy and to say we were nervous is an understatement. The service we had from the chalet and crèche staff was nothing short of brilliant. We stayed for 8 days and our son was in the crèche for 6 days and he totally loved it ! The whole...
