In the Chablais, at the heart of the Portes du Soleil, Morzine has kept the look of a real Savoyard town, while Avoriaz, perched above it, is a car-free resort of wood-clad buildings. Les Gets, close by, completes the trio. Family hotels in Morzine and Les Gets often have an indoor pool, and several chalets and apartments to rent have one too. I've selected 16 places, all rated at least 8/10; the top-rated is Appartement Morzine Pleney avec piscine (4.92/5).
Each city has its own selection, with a page for each type of accommodation.
Places are ranked from highest to lowest rated. The yellow bubble shows the advertised water temperature, when it's known.
