Our Story

Elevation Alps is an independent luxury chalet company in Morzine offering winter and summer chalet holidays.

The company was founded by Paul Watts in 2015, but the story begins before that.

Paul was in commercial retail property in London, but he had itchy feet and a desire to see more of the world.   In 2007, attracted to the Morzine lifestyle, he bought a characterful old farm as a second home.  He met his wife Helen in a local bar on New Years day of that year and by 2010 he and Helen were married and he moved to Morzine full time.

Paul started working with Sébastien Michaud, co-founder of Elevation Alps, at Morzine Immobilier.  They spotted an opportunity to bridge the gap between self catered and catered ski holidays. Paul and Seb wanted to offer more than a basic holiday rental but something which offered more freedom than the traditional catered stay.  Giving guests the option of adding extra services meant that guests could create their own perfect holiday.  And Elevation Alps was born.

Elevation Alps is now 10 years old and the objective of the company is still the same; giving guests the opportunity to create their own bespoke holiday.

“We get huge satisfaction from seeing our guests have an amazing holiday.  Seeing their delight when they arrive at a chalet which exceeds their expectations is one of our biggest joys, we never tire of it.  In the background, our partnership with our property owners also gives us just as much satisfaction. Their trust and support have been the key to our success.”
