Property tour
Lodge Skadi...
Enjoy everything the Portes du Soleil mountains have to offer, whatever the season, when you stay at Lodge Skadi.
The property's great location, right in the centre of the village of Essert-Romand and 100m from the shuttle bus stop, gives you easy access to the excellent ski slopes of Morzine and Avoriaz in winter. In summer, nearby Lac de Montriond is a popular spot with swimmers, kayakers and paddle boarders.
And of course there are many beautiful walking and mountain bike trails in the surrounding area.
You'll find a good choice of shops and restaurants in Montriond, but there's more choice in Morzine, just a five-minute drive away. The Morzine tourist office organises a variety of events and activities in both summer and winter.
And when you return from your mountain adventures, you can relax in the hot tub and enjoy an evening with friends and family at Lodge Skadi.
About the property…
Lodge Skadi is a bright, modern chalet for eight guests, with four bedrooms and four bathrooms.
The entrance at the rear of the chalet leads to two double bedrooms, both with TV and en-suite bathrooms (one with a walk-in shower, the other with a bath). One of these bedrooms also opens onto a spacious terrace.
The floor below offers two further bedrooms, as well as a TV room with a PlayStation console and games. Both bedrooms have a double bed, a television and an en-suite shower room with toilet. This floor also has access to the hot tub, which you'll find on a covered terrace.
The top floor is dedicated to a bright living area, with a comfortable corner sofa in front of a television as well as a dining table. The fully-equipped kitchen has two ovens, an induction hob, a coffee counter and a pantry with a freezer.
The living area opens onto a small balcony on one side, and a spacious covered terrace with an outdoor dining table on the other. There's also a separate WC on this floor.
Skiers returning from the slopes will appreciate the chalet's second entrance via the ski room. Here you'll find a heated boot dryer, washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as a dart board and a bike cleaning and repair kit.
About the area…
Essert-Romand is a great base for guests wishing to explore the 12 ski resorts in the Portes du Soleil area, including the neighbouring villages of Morzine and Montriond. With 650km of excellent pistes and 200 ski lifts, you'll discover a winter sports paradise spanning the border between France and Switzerland.
There are plenty of activities for non-skiers too, including ice skating (indoor and outdoor), snowmobiling, ice climbing, tobogganing and, of course, snowshoeing and sleigh rides.
In summer, the chairlift continues to operate, giving you easy access to a network of trails for hiking and mountain biking. Other activities include climbing, rafting, via ferrata, canyoning, mini-golf, fishing and kayaking.
The Morzine-Avoriaz area has been awarded the “Famille Plus” label for its programme of activities and facilities for children. It boasts two water parks and two summer toboggan runs. Indiana Parc in Morzine offers tree-top assault courses, rafting and many other activities, while Parc des Dérêches has swimming pools, tennis courts, an ice rink, a skate park and a riding centre.
Finally, don't forget to visit the Lac de Montriond for a day's swimming, the Brochaux waterfall, the local cheese farms and the weekly farmers' markets.

Location
Essert-Romand - Morzine
The pretty village of Montriond is a great holiday destination for guests who want a great choice of mountain sports and all the bars, shops and restaurants of a large resort, but who at the end of the day want to return to a quiet base in the heart of nature.
If you’re visiting in the winter, you’ll be close to the lifts in Morzine, but you’ll also have great access to the Ardent bubble, which will whisk you up to the Portes du Soleil resorts.
If you’re visiting in the summer, you’ll appreciate the walks around Lake Montriond, swimming and kayaking.

The OVO Network Review
Up to eight guests can enjoy the bright interiors and modern comforts at Lodge Skadi, right in the centre of the village of Essert-Romand.
There are four bedrooms, each with a TV and en-suite shower or bathroom with a WC. If you need to work remotely during your stay, you'll find desks in two of the rooms.
One of these rooms also opens onto a spacious terrace where you can relax on the sunbeds. Lodge Skadi also has four balconies (one on each side of the building) and three large covered terraces, one of which is home to the hot tub.
There's an outdoor dining table on another, where you can enjoy a meal in good weather.
The living room on the upper floor has a beautiful exposed roof frame. Large windows mean it gets plenty of light and enjoys splendid views of the mountains and the resort of Avoriaz.
The lounge area, with corner sofa and television, is separated from the fully-equipped kitchen by a dining table.
On the lower floor there is a TV room with a PlayStation console, as well as a practical ski room with a heated boot dryer, a washing machine, a tumble dryer, bike repair equipment and a dartboard.

From the owner

Rachel & Alexandre
We designed Lodge Skadi as a real mountain hideaway. This chalet is a dream come true, a haven of peace in Essert-Romand, an authentic and peaceful village in the heart of the Portes du Soleil.
Inspired by the Scandinavian atmosphere and the warmth of natural materials, we wanted to create a warm, uncluttered, cosy and welcoming atmosphere. The chalet has been designed for relaxed evenings with family and friends after a day on the slopes or a hike in the great outdoors.
Built from the heart, for us.. but also for you.
We hope you'll feel at home here, that you'll have a wonderful time, and that you'll leave with some precious memories.
Each season has its own charm.
In winter, it's skiing, sledging, snowball fights..
In summer, it's hiking, mountain biking, picnics at altitude, long evenings on the terrace.. And in between, the calm of the low seasons invites you to disconnect completely.
Welcome to our home!
