La Mernaz & L’Élé Chalets for Sale in Morzine
La Mernaz and L’Élé sit just above the village on the south-facing slopes that look back across Morzine and towards the opposite mountains. These neighbourhoods suit buyers who want more space, privacy and open views while staying close enough to walk or make a short drive into the centre. Roads wind gently up from the village, lined with traditional chalets, newer builds and a handful of small residences.
Chalet pricing here reflects that combination of privacy and views. Recent examples include a 4-bed, 4-bath chalet of 155 m² in the Mernaz area at €1,645,000, equating to roughly €10,600 per m². This sits neatly within the wider Morzine chalet price range of €10,000–€15,000 per m² for properties with good access and strong specification. In practical terms, you’re often looking at €1.4–€2m+ for quality 4–5 bed chalets with proper garages, boot rooms and usable outdoor space in La Mernaz or L’Élé, depending on age, finish and exact micro-location.

Morzine: Buying a property in La Mernaz & L’Élé
Properties here are predominantly chalets and semi-detached homes, often with larger plots than you will find lower down. Living spaces tend to be generous, with open-plan kitchens, fireplaces and big windows to make the most of the views. Many homes include garages, boot rooms, and storage for bikes and outdoor equipment, reflecting how owners use them in both winter and summer. With around 83% of Morzine’s 9,000 dwellings classified as second homes, demand for this kind of “proper base” is structurally strong and supply remains tight.
Daily life has a slightly different rhythm in La Mernaz and L’Élé. Some residents walk down to the village and take the Pleney lift; others drive or use local shuttles, depending on exact location. In return, you gain quieter surroundings, more sunshine and a feeling of being in a residential area rather than in the middle of a ski resort. Outdoor space is a key advantage: terraces, gardens and balconies are genuinely usable, especially in shoulder seasons and summer. For rentals, well-presented chalets in these areas can capture both peak winter weeks and higher-spend summer bookings, with gross yields broadly in line with the 3–4% range typically seen for quality Alpine stock.
From an investment perspective, these areas work best for buyers who plan longer stays and value comfort over immediate lift access. The chalet format attracts extended families and groups looking for quality time in a home-like environment. To understand how La Mernaz and L’Élé fit within the wider Morzine market, and how they compare with central apartments or Avoriaz-focused locations, it’s useful to start with the full guide to Morzine properties for sale before narrowing down to specific addresses.
