Ideal Winter Snow & Summer Sun location with easy access via Geneva airport.
Thollon Les Memises has its own unique ski resort. It is truly an amazing experience to ski with the view of the lake below.
Bernex is just the other side of the mountain (about 10 - 15 mins drive) with another ski area. In addition, Chatel & the vast Portes Du Soleil is only, an easy, 40 min drive.
It is also a great location for Summer activities including golf (Evian Masters Golf Course) walking, mountain biking, white water rafting, parapenting, sightseeing or just relaxing by the lake.
Thollon is located 35 miles from Geneva (around an hour or so drive) and about 550 miles from Calais (approx 8.5 hours drive - motorway nearly all the way)

Guestbook
"The apartment was just brilliant, very comfortable, bedding etc and kitchen very well equipped.
We have now decided to take skiing lessons & we hope we can return very soon if that's ok
" - Ali Meadows - Paignton - Devon - Christmas 2007
" What a wonderful apartment you have!!! We had an incredible trip and enjoyed our stay in Thollon. The mountain is so beautiful, that the phrase of "beautiful French countryside" just doesn't do it justice to how magnificant the sights are. We loved the mountain and the village. The view to the lake was incredible," - Jean Young - April 2008
"We had a lovely holiday and enjoyed both the apartment and the area and if visiting the area again would certainly book with you without hesitation. The apartment is well equipped and was easy to find and is just a short drive from Evian and the Swiss border.
" - Dot Banton -Kendal - Cumbria - June 2008
"We had a wonderful time the weather for the most part was excellent. Your apartment is superb. We had a most relaxing time and returned with fully recharged batteries. We can't wait to return again.
" - Mark Suter - Oakham - Aug 08
"Just to let you know that we had a lovely time in France. You have a beautiful apartment with magnificent views. We enjoy walking so we went on some really nice walks including to the top of the ridge opposite the apartment." - Jacquie Bennett - Sheffield - August 2008
