Covid related cancellations can be refunded regardless of cancellation policy.

On the ground floor of our chalet we have created this modern, comfortable, quite unique and completely self contained studio. The studio is set in a quiet location just 100 metres from the telecabine - and just a short 2 minute walk to the centre of Thollon Les Memises, the Ski Station village. From the studio there are outstanding panoramic views over Lake Geneva. The studio comprises a tastefully furnished main living area; a fully equipped modern kitchen area and an en suite shower room/w/c.There is a large (and very comfortable-according to our guests!) double bed settee providing sleeping for two as well as being a relaxing daytime sofa.There's also a full single size banquette ideally suitable for a child or young adult. A child's cot is also available. Electric radiators and a 'log burner' effect electric fire heat this cosy studio.There's a flat screen TV, (UK and French TV),DVD/ CD and video (bring your own or borrow ours). Free Wi - FI is also available available. There's also access to the ski/boot store which adjoins the studio. A perfect studio for 2/3 people wishing to enjoy a winter or summer break - a quiet, yet central village location just a very short walk to our local restaurants,supermarket, boulangerie etc.
Eileen and I do everything we can to ensure our guests have the most comfortable and enjoyable holiday possible whilst staying at The Studio in La Petite Fleur D'Ecosse ' - including a welcome bottle of wine on arrival! We have also arranged special discounts on equipment hire at the most convenient of the local sports hire shops.

Thollon in summer and winter: Thollon and the Lake Geneva area have a great deal to offer - both winter and summer. . The villlage itself sits on the 'Balcony' Lac Leman' and is surrounded by wonderful alpine scenery - the perfect combination of mountains and lake. (In winter there can be few other resorts where you can ski or board to your heart's content whilst,at the same time, having the most magnificent views over the largest inland lake in Europe!)
The studio is in a quiet location overlooking the lake yet very close to the village centre and just 100 metres from the telecabine which takes you directly up to the top of the Pic Des Memises and the ski slopes.
Throughout the winter and summer holiday periods, the village reflects the mood of the season with lots of possibilities available - a lively winter sports resort with several ' apres ski' bars and restaurants and numerous festive activities and events. In summer possibilities include woodland and wonderful alpine meadow walks, tennis, petangue, mountain biking,and paragliding.

Things to do in the local area: There are lots of possibilities all year round. In winter Thollon is the ideal base for the adventurous skier wishing to visit nearby resorts in Switzerland and the Portes du Soleil.
In summer the options are many and varied:- Swimming - close to the village at Plage de la Beunaz (a natural lake with slides and arial runway); the Olympic pool and lidos in Evian and Thonon and the Aquapark at Bouveret; and the Lac Leman with numerous safe and free swimming options including the shallow sandy beach at nearby Exenevex. Evian and Thonon are famous for their spas and Lavey Les Bains with its outdoor heated spa pool is a 'must'.
Then there's sailing, motor boat hire, water skiing and wind surfing on the lake; white water rafting and canoeing on the Dranse; horse riding, tennis, climbing, fishing and golf. And for the really adventutous - the 'Fantistiquecable' mountain to mountain ariel runway! - all within a short drive.
Or perhaps a less energetic trip on one of the Lake Steamers?

Places to visit and other attractions : Lakeside towns and villages - by boat or by car. Evian with it's beautiful esplanade, Casino, gardens art galleries and museums; Thonon with it's pretty port and lakeside restaurants; nearby Yvoire and its neighbour Nernier - wonderful floral medieval fortified villages on the edge of the lake; the bustling Olympic sporting and cultural centre of Lausanne or the world renowned Montreux with its music festivals and Freddie Mercury connections. The Chateaus at Ripaille ( guided tours of the vinyard) and historic Chillon are well worth visiting.
Visit the high alps by cablecar and enjoy the restaurants, spectacular views across snow capped mountains and that special mountain 'stillness' - oh, and the occasional cow bell! The 'goat village' at Linderet -an experience for old and young alike perhaps followed by romantic evening meal at the Bout de Lac as the sun sets on Lake Montriond.Perhaps a trip across the glacier on the Hellbrunner gondola at Chamonix? - an unforgetable experience!
We'd love to help you discover more!
Note: Coronovirus. Prior to your visit we ensure that that the studio and all its furnishings and contents are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.

Lovely studio apartment
Ron and Eileen were there to meet us on arrival, the welcome bottle of wine was a lovely gesture. From the very start of our stay our hosts were very attentive, from offering to go the pharmacy (I was poorly first couple of days) to giving us great advice on where to go and what beaches to visit. Everything required was available in the studio and the view was absolutely outstanding across Lac Leman. Many many thanks for letting us stay with you.

What a place, fantastic brilliant and comfortable
Whent for a motorbike touring holiday around the area and Switzerland and fell in love with it. So many things to do and see a week is just not long anoth, with the ferry only a 15 minute drive to evilon hop on to go across lake Geneva. We loved sitting out side of the property and having our meal with the best views I have ever seen. Our hosts made our holiday and they could not do enough To make our holiday complete even when my bike needed a couple of new parts and we thought the holiday was going to be ruined Ron phoned some shops and even dropped us off to the lake so we go and get the parts. Truly the best peaple I have ever met. The appartment was fab with everything provided that you need.engish tv so we could just relax in front of the fire, Quiet Warm and very very comfortable I could live in it very well indeed and as I say the views ar unbelievably if you only have one holiday stop here you will not be disappointed

A great studio apartment in a superb location
This is a very comfortable and well appointed studio apartment. It is cosy, clean and has everything you need for an enjoyable stay in this charming village. It is just a few minutes walk from the ski lift, ski hire shops and ski school offices.It could hardly be more convenient. There are fabulous views of the lake, lots of bars and restaurants nearby and a good supermarket nearby. Our hosts Eileen and Ron were most welcoming and hospitable and looked after us so well. Ron booked our ski hire and ski school in advance for us and they both ensured we had everything we needed. I would like to thank them both for their warmth and hospitality during our stay.

Warm, Cosy, Well Equipped, Tranquil and Stunning
From the moment you arrive you feel welcome in this perfect Studio, nothing is too much trouble for the hosts though they let you enjoy your break without intruding. There is everything you need in the studio and the little extra touches made it far more than we expected, super fast wifi, full english TV, DVDs and games etc. The view from the bed of the lake is stunning, I could happily spend the day in bed looking at the view. There is plenty to do outside of the studio, shops and restaurants are all within a few minutes walk. There are some fantastic walks around the village for all abilities and a trip up in the telecabine to the Pic is a must, you really feel like you're on top of the world. This truly is a hidden gem in terms of the village, the studio and the hosts combined with views that can't be beaten anywhere in the world means I would recommend this to any couple looking for a relaxing break. Thank you Ron and Eileen for a Christmas and New Year we will never forget.

About the host

Hosted by Ron and Eileen Goldie

Host profile image
Eileen and I are Scottish. We purchased our chalet in 2006 and moved out to Thollon permanently when we retired in 2009. Eileen is a qualified nursery school teacher but most recently worked in a college in the UK supporting special needs students.Prior to retirement I worked in HR..

Why they chose this property

We had been on holiday in the area for many years so when we were looking to buy a chalet in the Alps Thollon was an obvious choice! We are so close to Lake Geneva that it is a perfect place to be in the summer! Lots of lake and mountain activities and just a smashing place to relax during those - hopefully (and so far they have been!) long hot Alpine summers. In winter we are just a very short walk (100 meters) from the telecabine which gives us access to our beautiful little family ski area at the top of the Memises mountain. And if we want to ski 'further afield' we are so close to the likes of the Port Du Soleil resorts of Chatel, Avoriaz, Morzine and Les Gets. We also ski regularly in the Swiss resorts of Villars, Les Diablerets and Verbier - all within one hour's drive from the chalet.So we find it's a perfect place both summer and winter!

What makes this property unique

Rather than try to accommodate the usual 6/7 people in a studio of this size, we decided to furnish it for just two or perhaps, at the most, three visitors We feel it is ideal for a couple or for a couple with a young or teenage child. The view from the studio is spectacular right across the lake to Lausanne - it was this beautiful view that 'sold' the chalet to us when we first saw it.
