At More Mountain we pride ourselves on employing grown up friendly and professional staff with a lot of life experience, passion for the mountains and good commercial experience.

Working closely at all times with Sam & Jon, they have a thorough knowledge for the business and know what good service is all about, mainly because most of them have actually stayed as guests at More Mountain or been to Morzine in the past. We couldn’t ask for more really…Meet the team for 2012.

Sam & Laura LA CABINE

Sam & Laura met at university and discovered a shared love for skiing and snowboarding. Since graduating, Sam has worked in Sales & Marketing for the action sports industry. He’s an adventurous chap and recently biked from Lands End to John O’ Groats in an impressive 11 days. When not recovering from saddle sore, you’ll find him cruising the skate parks of the Midlands!

Laura’s work involved organising volunteering projects and events for university students and young people. She has previously lived and worked in France, and is looking forward to returning to the land of cheese and champagne. Laura likes to pretend she’s Mary Berry and is famed for her Choccocino Cake.

“More Mountain offer exactly the kind of holiday that we would like to go on – luxury accommodation, scrumptious food, great people, and amazing shredding. We couldn’t be more pleased to be part of the More Mountain team and look forward to welcoming you to La Cabine for good wine, good food and good times!”

Laura & Nathan CHALET ROBIN

After years of working in the corporate world, Laura & Nathan are biting the bullet and moving to the mountains!

Nathan is a keen snowboarder but back home he worked in customer services for 15 years. Nothing is ever too much trouble and he is always happy to help. Being a boarder, Laura is set on making Nathan digress from the dark side and learn how to ski…

Laura has been skiing since she was five and one of her favourite past times is beating Nathan down the mountain! Laura studied Interior Design before starting a career in Beer Marketing. She is very bubbly and energetic with a love of good food, wine and certain beers! She will reluctantly be turning to the dark side and learning how to snowboard thanks to Nathan…

“We are incredibly excited about this season and super chuffed to be working for More Mountain. More Mountain are offering the kind of style and service that we’re all about. We are thrilled to be part of the team and we look forward to welcoming you to Chalet Robin!”

Jenny THE LOFT

Jenny is a board sports mad girl who decided “you only live once so you’ve got to follow your heart” So… her heart led her to More Mountain and the mountains of Morzine Avoriaz.

Following a successful 10 year career in the Armed Forces, Jenny made the break and followed her passion for snowboarding. She has snowboarded her way around a number of resorts in France, Canada and Bulgaria.

She has more enthusiasm for mountain life than you can shake a stick at and has spent the last 2 years working in a chalet in Bulgaria. She is a qualified snowboard and wakeboard instructor and its safe to say her work ethic is strong – she can handle pretty much anything you throw at her!

“I am VERY excited to be joining More Mountain for the coming season and working in The Loft. More Mountain has everything I would look for myself when booking a holiday and promises a winter holiday experience that is second to none. In The Loft this winter you can expect to have good times, plenty of laughs and few beers along the way!”

Ricardo Flashini CHALET OPERATIONS MANAGER

“Ric holidayed with More Mountain in 2009, staying at La Cabine. He immediately fell in love with the chalet, the resort and the whole More Mountain experience… he simply had to apply to Sam and Jon to be part of their team for winter….and as they say the rest is history!”

Ric has a BA (Hons) degree in Hospitality Management and over 10 years managerial experience within the industry. Having spent 2 years running our sister chalet, La Cabine, Ric is moving into a managerial role with us this winter and is also helping Jenny to run the LOFT. He has a lot of experience at More Mountain with both our clients and our working partners in resort. You may have spoken to him on the phone already as he is also our office manager when we cant be there.  He has an infectious enthusiasm which is limitless and always reminds you that you are here on holiday to have a great time.

“My aim is to ensure you will love the More Mountain Catered Chalet Experience just as much as I did, if not MORE!”

Ruth & Dan APARTMENT MANAGERS and ”IN RESORT CONCIERGE”

“We’ve been very lucky and lived in loads of great resorts in Europe and North America but now we always come back to Morzine. Fact is, the Portes du Soleil is just by far the best place to snowboard and we love the mountains here! ”

Ruth & Dan are a dab hand at running chalets with over 8 years hospitality experience across a wide range of chalet operators in both operational and managerial positions. Last year was their 6th Winter here in Morzine and they have worked for More Mountain for 2 years. Having spectacularly ran our flagship chalet, Chalet Robin, for this duration NOW its time for a new challenge.

As ambassadors for our self catering business, Ruth and Dan will be Apartment Managers and “In Resort Concierge” for More Mountain as a result of their knowledge and expertise in Morzine. It’s safe to say they know their stuff and they will ensure standards are high and service levels are second to none!

“We look forward to sharing the best of Morzine and the Mountains with our guests this year!”

We had been selected to feature in an article about cool and funky chalets in the Alps. Nice to see us up there with the £17,000 a week places where the likes of Robbie Williams have stayed – we are obviously doing something right and our prices are definitely a LOT more affordable!

This is what travel writer Tom Chesshyre had to say…

This season’s coolest places to stay have private pools, high-tech entertainment and seriously stylish interiors

Journalist Jon Secret came to Morzine to experience the delights of the Portes Du Soleil Ski area and experienced first hand the excellent service from our lovely chalet hosts, Sarah and Andy, great food, fun times and attention to detail at our luxury catered chalet in Central Morzine, The Loft.

The Independent Snow Traveller does More Mountain

Jon says…

“I’d never been to Morzine, so it could hardly be my favourite place to ski, but a luxury fully catered chalet? I decided it was time to try something new.

Morzine is one of the more northerly resorts in the French Alps, and within easy reach of Europe’s winter-sports hub, Geneva. Just 80 minutes after leaving the airport, the transfer bus was pulling up outside The Loft, my home for the week. It’s run by the husband-and-wife team Jon and Sam Dredge of More Mountain, an independent chalet company specialising in what they call “non pretentious” luxury chalet holidays in Morzine.

The Loft occupies the top two floors of a traditional Savoyard farmhouse, now transformed into a place of slick luxury. There’s a games and a chill-out area on one level with a large flat-screen television, DVD and satellite, heated floors throughout, an iMac computer and WiFi running the sound system. The views from the balcony over the pretty town and soaring mountains are stunning.

My chalet hosts, Andy and Sarah, wasted no time inviting me to relax on the sumptuous leather sofas, where I drank champagne and ate canapés. Then it was on to the first gourmet meal of the week, washed down with wine and homemade toffee vodka.

It didn’t take long before I was mentally redrafting my list of favourite ski resorts. The task became easier as I learned how splendidly connected everything is, thanks to an extensive network of lifts. The Super Morzine and Pleney ski lifts are just a short walk in snowboard boots from the chalet or an even shorter ride in the complimentary chalet pick-up and drop-off service. A fuzzy head dictated the latter option, using the chalet’s private shuttle: an ex-military go anywhere and do anything Land Rover Defender called “The Baron”.

Happy Days!

“Thanks to its proximity to Geneva airport, snowboard-friendly pistes and parks, and less obscene drink pricing than many other resorts, Morzine has more independent chalets than most resorts. One such offering is More Mountain, run by husband-and-wife team Sam and John Dredge, who promise “luxury but not pretentious” sleek-looking chalets in the heart of town. Each is furnished with iPods, flatscreen TVs and Garmin GPS devices so you can plot where you’ve skied and, more crucially, see how fast you’ve gone. They make toffee vodka and provide hip flasks to take up the mountain, as well as serving bacon and eggs for breakfast, for when you’ve overdone it the night before.” Sam Haddad, The Observer Sunday 12th December 2011.

"The Baron"

The time has come to replace our trusty Mazda Bongo and our not so t’rusty Mitsubishi Shogun!

We had been looking at various 4X4 vehicles that could comfortably transport 8 guests around Morzine, and to and from the ski lifts.

The decision was made. A classless yet quality vehicle, The Landrover Defender is an iconic and Uber Cool vehicle to ferry our guests about town and as their slogan says they are…

” The Best 4 X 4 by Far “

For those guests staying at The Loft “The Baron” – an ex RAF Landrover Defender 110, will play a big part in your winter holiday with us, transporting you to and from the lifts each day.

"Junior"

“Junior” – an ex “Cheshire Set” Landrover Defender 90, will be used as an additional vehicle to the 2 minibuses that we have at our larger chalets, Chalet Robin and La Cabine

Here’s hoping for plenty of snow this year, to put the 2 newbies to the test!

If you fancy your own Defender, contact Marple Road Garage in Stockport for some great advice and help. Ask for Pam!

We believe if you choose self catering, it doesn’t mean you have to compromise on home comforts. Apartment Central features 2 luxury bedrooms with modern bathrooms, large balconies, spacious lounge area, fully equipped kitchen diner and loads of mod cons.

We have just added a load of new photos to the site so you can see the apartment in its full glory! Central Morzine just got stylish… to see more images please click here for more info Apartment Central Photos

Garmin^® the global leader in satellite navigation deliver the new must-have item for the slopes as it announces a series of GPS devices and a range of activities geared toward the snowsports enthusiast.

The wrist-worn Foretrex^® 401 is set to provide millions of recreational skiers and snowboarders with the fundamental statistics that they have long craved; how high, how far and how fast did we go today? Of course, this sophisticated, waterproof device is packed with extensive capabilities for the more inquisitive, but its simplicity makes it possible for everybody to get more from their time on the slopes.

Garmin has joined forces with More Mountain as a specialist chalet operator in the Alps to form an official Garmin Test Centre, offering More Mountain guests the opportunity to test-drive the latest GPS technology. At the end of the day, guests simply upload the day’s data, or ‘tracklog’, at Garmin Connect to review their movements and statistics including highest speed, total descent, total ascent, maximum elevation, total distance and much, much more.

To foster the competitive spirit that will no doubt arise, Garmin has created a season’s league table at www.garminsnowclub.co.uk to champion the persons that travel the fastest, the furthest, and the greatest descent. The victorious not only secure bragging rights for the year, but are then in with a chance of winning a week’s winter holiday at More Mountain so get riding!
