Thollon - village amenities: The apartment is located in 'Station', which has direct access to the ski runs via the Télécabine (cable car). There are only a couple of hamlets beyond Station, so there is very little through traffic. Thollon offers peace and quiet in abundance, while there is still plenty to do. However, the village can be very lively in the Ski season during the Christmas, New Year and Winter/ half term holidays, when there are many activities organised by the community. Station has several restaurants and bars, a mini-supermarket selling bread and fresh food, several ski hire shops, a cinema (open during the holidays), the tourist office and a laundrette. Just a short walk or drive to Le Nouy, you will find a traditional bakery a cheese shop and another mini-supermarket which also sells international newspapers and gifts. A little further on is Chef-lieu, where the post office, Mairie, library, school and church are located. There are tennis courts and a pétanque club here too.
The Télécabine (cable car) takes you up to the Mémises mountains behind the village, and is open throughout the ski season (Dec-March) and also in July-August, and at weekends in June and September. In the summer, there are walks for all abilities, or simply enjoy the views and some lunch on the terrace at 'Le Repaire de l'Aigle'. In the winter, Thollon is a well-managed, family friendly ski resort with 50km of runs, ideal for beginners and intermediate skiers. Most of the pistes are north facing, between 1000-2000m altitude (16 pistes: 1 black, 9 red; 4 blue; 2 green and a 6km cross country ski track). There are also tracks for snow shoe walks. There has been a lot of investment bringing improvements to the resort over the last 10 years, including a snow park with a half-pipe for snowboarders, the 10-person télécabine with disabled access, a 4-seater chair lift to the top of the resort, new and increased snow cannons and machines across the resort, and scheduled for completion in 2021, a new restaurant and visitor centre with viewing platform over Lac Léman. The resort is very well-managed, and has many snow machines to ensure good coverage on the main pistes throughout the season. The resort is served by 3 chair lifts and 11 ski lifts. With the ski school (ESF) in the village, the resort is ideal for beginners and intermediates, and is particularly good for families, with lessons for 4 years and up. There is also a crèche in the village. There are several good ski hire shops. The town organises many events and activities, especially during the school holidays. See the website https://www.leman-mountains-explore.com/ for more details. The Portes du Soleil (Morzine, Les Gets, Châtel) with 650km of runs, is only a 45-50 minute drive away.
The great outdoors: Thollon is surrounded by beautiful scenery and there is plenty to do all year round. There are many walks for all abilities, straight from the apartment. The Tourist Office produces a local map. For one of the best views of Lake Geneva, take the cable car and walk 20 min to the Pic des Mémises. Paragliding is popular in Thollon, and the conditions are ideal. There are many options for swimming; a short drive from the village is the Plage de la Beunaz, a natural lake with slides and diving boards. 15 min by car / bus is the Olympic sized pool in Evian. Thonon-les-Bains, approx. 30 min drive, also has a lido. Both towns have Spas. The lake itself offers endless free swimming opportunities with beaches at: Lugrin, Meillerie, St Gingolph, Amphion, Publier, Anthy and Excenevex, where there is a 3km shallow, sandy beach.
