morzine....
A great destination for
skiers and boarders of all ages and abilities, this international ski area is
the biggest in the world with 12 linked resorts and 650 km of tree lined
slopes straddling the border of France and Switzerland. Morzine is
the heart of the Portes du Soleil offering the most convenient links to
the best skiing.
more than just a ski
resort, a charming village with plenty to do away from the slopes.....
Morzine is a picturesque village steeped in history and tradition situated between Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc
in the Haute Savoie region of France. The architecture of the village
has retained its alpine charm with solid chalets constructed from pine,
stone and slate, materials traditional to the region. The area has a
rich tradition in cuisine and wine which can be sampled in the many
restaurants of Morzine. It is one of the most easily accessible alpine
resorts, just a 70 minute drive from Geneva airport or 9 hours drive from Calais.
Morzine offers all the facilities you would associate with a modern
resort but with plenty of options away from the slopes - English language cinema, ten pin bowling, ice skating, ice hockey, paragliding, health clubs,
massage, sauna,
excellent restaurants, bars and nightclubs. There is a Wednesday
local market and a busy town centre which will cater for all your
holiday essentials.
Both our chalets are located in the village of Morzine, a short walk
from all amenities and bars.
avoriaz....
This high altitude (1800m) car free resort was inaugurated in 1967
following the vision of 1960 Olympic downhill medal winner and Morzinois
Juan Vuarnet who sensed the incredible potential for his home village. The resort is easily accessed by
either the Prodain cable car or Super Morzine telecabine from Morzine and sits at top the vertical cliffs of the Vallee
des Ardoisieres, a truly spectacular setting. A snow sure resort Avoriaz
is open from mid December through till the end of April.
