Morzine in winter

Where ADVENTURES begin

Luxury ski holidays

It doesn’t get better than this. Hundreds of kilometres of groomed piste; ASTONISHING vistas; exceptional restaurants and bars; thrill after thrill in the extraordinarily fresh, Alpine air. And off the slopes? Warmth like you’ve never known it: fires crackling, cocktails shaken, and four-course dinners in soul-soothing candlelight. That’s winter at Hotel Coutettaz.

This is Portes du Soleil

First and foremost, you seek incredible skiing. Hotel Coutettaz is in the heart of the outstanding Portes du Soleil ski domain, which spans the Franco-Swiss border between Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc. At your disposal: more than 600km of linked pistes, backcountry skiing, hundreds of ski lifts, and every kind of slope. In short? A skier’s paradise.

Learn to fly

Thanks to the range of slopes, Portes du Soleil is perfect for seasoned skiers, novices and everyone in between. If you’re strapping on your ski boots for the very first time – or keen to stretch your skills – ask us for recommendations. We’ll gladly point you towards our favourite instructors and ski schools.

If you ski, if you like excellent food, if you like great company or if you’re anywhere near Morzine, do NOT miss Hotel Coutettaz! From the minute you arrive they make you feel like family. Every need is tended to and every meal is outstanding, I truly can’t recall a lovelier stay.”

Made for young adventurers

Coutettaz makes for a luxurious family skiing holiday. And in Portes du Soleil, junior skiers will find quite as much to love as you. Learner slopes, magic carpets and themed areas made for children keep all ages busy and safe; ask us for advice on ski lessons and equipment hire. Then, when the ski boots come off? Morzine’s ice rink, merry-go-round, swimming pools and winter festivities will set little eyes sparkling.

The party starts here

Ready for aprés? Portes du Soleil’s exceptional bars and clubs cater for every taste. Soak in panoramic views under ice at Igloo Village. Sip a sundowner cocktail at La Grenouille du Maris, or dance on the tables to pumping music at La Folie Douce, before taking the ski bubble down to Morzine. Catch live music at The Cavern Bar, Le Tremplin and Le Club beneath La Chamade. And of course, there’s always the private bar waiting back at the hotel.

Step off seemingly endless slopes to cockle-warming fires, beautiful wines and EXCEPTIONAL cuisine. After all, you’ve earned a little luxury.

Forget about chalets

You’ve been there and done that, haven’t you? Instead, return from the slopes – ruddy-cheeked and weary-boned – to the fire and candlelit luxury of our boutique ski hotel. At Coutettaz, you’ll sip signature cocktails, choose gorgeous wines, soak in roll-top baths and slumber in total comfort. It’s an Alpine skiing holiday like no other

There’s magic in Morzine

Once our guests experience Morzine in the winter, they keep coming back. Again and again. Of course the skiing is exceptional, but it isn’t just that. It’s the charming town centre; the irresistible restaurants, boutiques, bars and pastry shops; the lights twinkling in early winter dark. Visit around Christmas for something really special.

My new Favourite place! The service here is only comparable to the care you might give to your children, on a good day – they carry your skis, organise your lift pass, pick you up and drive you wherever you want to go, serve the best food, know the answers to all your questions and don’t worry if you stay up way after bedtime. All with a big smile and in the surrounds of a beautiful, uber comfortable and historic home.”

Love food? Love Hotel Coutettaz.

Returning ravenous from the mountains? Pull up a seat for a relaxed four-course banquet; expect Alpine beer, fresh fish, wild mushrooms, rich game and artisan cheese, sourced locally wherever we can. With hearty hot and buffet breakfasts and freshly baked treats awaiting you for afternoon tea, you’ll never run out of fuel. And whatever you do, don’t forget the wine.

Seamless skiing, from pass to piste

When you stay at Hotel Coutettaz, you needn’t think about anything more than which slope to ski or which cocktail to sample. Because we handle all the logistics. Skis can be delivered to the hotel, so they’re ready and waiting when you arrive. We issue the passes, we arrange the shuttles – it’s effortless. So just enjoy yourself.

Here for you, always

Something our guests love most about Hotel Coutettaz is the service. Whether you need an airport transfer, a ski instructor, a restaurant recommendation or a slope shuttle, we’re always discreetly on hand to help. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Ask; it’s why we’re here. And it’s what makes Coutettaz one of the best hotels in Morzine.

I cannot stress enough how magical this place is and would recommend it for its location in Morzine, a five-minute walk to the Pleney gondola, a very gentle walk into town but in a quieter side of town so very peaceful. We will definitely be going back!”

Once we arrived, we instantly felt at home. The room was cozy and perfect for our family, and the location was ideal. The private transport to the mountain made skiing with two kids so much easier – we honestly don’t think we could have managed buses. My husband’s parents joined us during the trip, and they had a fantastic time as well.”
