Morillon 

We’re right on the border between the villages of Samoëns and Morillon. Technically, we’re in the commune of Samoëns, but it’s a closer ten minute walk down the country lanes to Morillon village centre (fifteen on the way back up). There's a few bars and restaurants, a chemist, a general grocery store, and of course the key feature of French village life, a bakery.  

The Morillon ski lift runs right from the heart of the village up to to Morillon 1100, where there's lovely tree-lined pistes, and chairlifts to the rest of the Grand Massif ski domain.

Walking from the village down towards the river, you'll find open-air swimming at Lac Bleu, and zip-wires through the trees at the adventure park.
