The stunning views offered by the apartment are extended to the bedrooms, with bedroom 2 offering a tantalising glimpse of the stunning panorama visible to the north of the apartment towards Samoens and the dramatic Criou mountain.

The Penthouse benefits from 2 large balconies which combine to offer over 20m2 of outside living space. Leading off the lounge area, double doors provide access to the sunny south facing balcony which offers fantastic views over the pistes of Morillon 1100 as they swoop through the forests back into the village. A table and chairs are provided so why not enjoy a morning coffee, take in the distant views towards Samoens 1600 and the Tete des Saix and plan for a fun day on the slopes. The second north facing balcony leads off the dining area and offers stunning open views as the Haute Giffre valley passes before you, rising from beautiful rolling alpine pastures, to rugged ridges, dramatic cliffs and soaring peaks.
A private locked garage is available with parking for one car and equipment storage. Further parking for 1/2 cars is available directly outside the garage.
The top floor Penthouse apartment, which is situated in a residence within the car-free centre of Morillon 1100 Les Esserts, is an ideal winter or summer holiday destination.
Winter holidays at The Penthouse are an absolute dream. Guests have direct access to the pistes, as well as bars, restaurants, bakery, small supermarket, and other shops, which are located just downstairs.
In the summer months, hikers and bikers will be pleased to know that the chair lifts, which allow access to the mountain, are directly opposite the residence. Many walking and biking trails can of course be accessed direct from the apartment, without any need to take the lifts.
The main village of Morillon with its many other amenities, and also Lac Bleu leisure park is just a short drive down the mountain from Les Esserts. A car is recommended for summer visits, as the gondola between Morillon Village and Les Esserts isn't normally running in the summer. For further information about all that Morillon has to offer, please see our resort information page.

"We had a great week with the family at your place. The flat is great for 14 people, everyone has their own bedroom with shower, washbasin and toilet. Nice living room for a break after skiing, top kitchen and dining room! We really all had a great week with our children and grandchildren. Being at the foot of the slopes is just great"
Blondel, The Penthouse, February 2024
"We had a fantastic time, even given the weather which was baking for that time of year. The apartment was fantastic : we all agreed the nicest we have ever stayed at and perfect for three families. Jasper was a star as well. Really friendly and helpful"
Davies, The Penthouse, February 2024
"We had such a great week. The chalet was so well located and worked well with our mix of young and slightly older adults. We all thought it was the best equipped of all the chalets we have stayed in. We had lovely meals at Le Millecimes and L’Igloo on the slopes. Please would you pass on our thanks to Jazz - what a charming chap. He welcomed us when we arrived early at 12.30 pm and had the chalet ready by 3 - perfect. He also responded quickly to a text that I sent. Alps accommodations as a ski company are also a pleasure to deal with so that also adds to the overall good holiday experience"
Sally, The Penthouse, January 2024

"Our group had a fabulous time, the apartment worked so well for us on so many levels. The way it has been furnished and everything made available to guests is a five star service in our eyes. We must compliment the property manager as well, I rang him far too many times but his information and recommendations were just so good that we utilised the resource. Both the owner and property manager have ensured we have had one of the best holidays away. It really has been a pleasure and so much fun. We really hope to return, possibly next year and if not we will be joining you for some skiing in 2018. Many thanks again for allowing us the use of your splendid property and chalet manager."

The Trimming Party, The Penthouse, March 2016
"We loved the apartment throughout. What a fantastic location with wonderful views. The slopes, ski school, hire shop, pub, patisserie and supermarket only being a stones throw away made life so easy for us with small children. The apartment itself was very clean, and far better equipped than any we've had before. The kitchen facilities and equipment were perfect for self-catering for a large group, and the entertainment equipment just wonderful. eg. Wii with games, DVDs, boardgames and toys. The Molton Brown toiletries were a nice touch too."
Leister, The Penthouse, January 2014
"Beautiful apartment, good aspect-location. Well equipped, especially kitchen. Logs welcome and other facilities good (e.g. welcome pack). We had a great holiday, many thanks."
Hope, The Penthouse, December 2011
"Just a quick note to say thanks for looking after us in the lead up to and during our stay. We had a fantastic time, the apartment couldn’t have been better. We’ve had top drawer service from you guys so be assured of our repeat business...see you next year!!"
