We've been coming to Morzine for the last 5 years now. It's a fantastic resort, one of the largest ski areas in the world, and with Avoriaz close by, has a great snow record. These holidays offer great value for money breaks. Groups are not usually more than 16 in size, there are no kids and most are aged between 18 and 40. Come on your own, as a couple or with friends. All are welcome, beginner or expert. Sometimes we ride out together, sometimes we meet for lunch or maybe you'll just disappear off and do your own thing. It's different everytime and you can do as much, or as little as you wish. It's your holiday! We stay in a really nice chalet, right in the centre of town. Minutes from the lifts and minutes from the bars!! |
Who goes on these trips?The small groups are usually 18 - 30somethings (Not the idiots you find 'largin' it on the Costa del whatever....the rest of us). There are no kids and we seem to attract laid back and fairly like minded active people of all abilities. Many come along on their own, some with partners or just with friends. Usually there is a good mixture of Brits, Antipodeans and Europeans, both male and female. People come from all walks of life, independent travellers, young professionals, 'flashpackers' and students. |

The Aprés skiMorzine has a great night life, centred around 4 or 5 bars. Live bands, pool, air hockey, babbyfoot, some pretty shocking dancing and the odd glass of vin chaud make for some wicked nights out. If you make it, the Opera and the Paradis nightclubs go until 5am. . . . will you be dancing in the cages, strutting your stuff on the podium and still be up for skiing in the morning?!?

Other ActivitiesWe encourage our guests to get as much as possible out of their holiday. We get up to all kinds of stuff after a day on the slopes. Of course you can do as much or or as little as you like, It's your holiday after all!! ICE SKATING (aprox. £5) How's your pirouette? We've seen you on the snow, let's get all Torvil and Dean and glide gracefully across the ice. . . . . . . . . well we can try!! SKI-DOO (aprox. £30) We head off into the mountains and try and be James Bond. Guided by just the headlight we chase down those bad guys in the snowy forest..... SLEDGING IN THE BLACK (aprox. £20) After all the skiers and boarders have gone home, darkness falls and we head up the mountain only to come back down again in the pitch black, with just a head torch, on the slopes, on sledges........it's carnage! FLOODLIT SKIING (included in your lift pass) Not had enough skiing / boarding? Every Thursday night the Pléney slope is lit up and the lifts are included in your lift pass. TANDEM PARAGLIDE (aprox.£45) The way to see the mountains. It's such an awesome experience to circle like an eagle and fly over the cliffs of Avoriaz and down into the morzine valley. Did I say awesome?? |
