Why the Ultimate Luxury Chalet for Your Alps Elopement is The Old Macaroni by Hunter Chalets
If the thought of standing in front of 100 people gives you more nerves than joy, or if you’ve ever whispered, “Let’s just run away to the mountains,” this might be the sign you’ve been waiting for.
Imagine an intimate, snow-dusted ceremony by a frozen lake. A week-long escape with your favourite few. A luxurious, chic chalet tucked into the French Alps where every detail is taken care of, but none of it feels traditional, stiff, or overwhelming.
At Mountain Weddings, we adore planning large-scale alpine weddings. But we also know that not every love story needs a ballroom and 150 guests. That’s why we created The Elopement Company, our sister brand dedicated to helping couples plan beautifully bespoke, smaller celebrations that are just as personal, meaningful, and exquisitely styled.

A Luxury Alps Elopement at The Old Macaroni
Recently, we spent the weekend in Morzine capturing what an intimate elopement in the French Alps could look like. The setting? The Old Macaroni, one of the most luxurious chalets in the Hunter Chalets portfolio, and hands down one of our favourite venues for a micro-wedding or Alps elopement.

When a Big Wedding Doesn’t Feel Right
We hear it more often than you might think:
“We just want to focus on us.”
“We don’t want a big audience, we want a big experience.”
“We want the scenery, the celebration, the meaning… but not the overwhelm.”
Elopements aren’t about compromise. They’re about freedom, connection, and choosing what matters most. Whether it’s a full weekend celebration or a private ceremony with just the two of you, we’re here to help you create something unforgettable.

The Best Morzine Elopement Ceremony Location
Just a short drive away is Lac de Montriond, one of the most magical and cinematic places for a winter ceremony in the Alps. The lake often freezes in colder months, surrounded by forests and mountains blanketed in snow. It’s quiet, majestic, and absolutely unforgettable.
At The Elopement Company, we specialise in unique, off-the-beaten-path ceremonies like this. We take care of everything; legalities, styling, ceremony venue, celebrants, vendors, and logistics, offering complete wedding packages, so your only job is to show up and say your vows.
