We got a mention this weekend in the Observer Magazine Travel Section…Very exciting. Not only were we introduced with a huge lead photo image of Chalet Robin’s sexy lounge and designer fireplace, but More Mountain were also featured in the number one pole position slot, out of a list of 10 Independent Chalet Companies worldwide, as being amazing “owner ran” snow retreats!
“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.

Well the weather man got it wrong in a good way!!!
The weekly forecast was for “light snow all week” – Yesterday we had sleaty rain all day in Morzine meaning it was dumping higher up the hill in Avoriaz.

Avoriaz Facelift is well underway

Expansion work has begun in Avoriaz in Portes du Soleil, France. The project includes the creation of two new resort districts with new accommodation complexes and a large new waterpark.
A new lift will also be installed, replacing the exiting cable car link between the resort and Morzine. Much of the new development will be completed in time for next winter, in December 2011.
The two new resort districts are Crozats and Amara. Between them they will add nine new Maeva and Pierre and Vacances residences containing more than 40 new apartments.
Amara, which will open in two stages in December 2011 and December 2012, will be home to a new spa centre with swimming pool, Turkish baths, a day nursery and more restaurants, bars and shops.
At the end of the next summer season (2011), work is due to begin on Aquariaz, an innovative indoor mountain water park facility.
The new complex will cover 2,000sq m and will feature a lazy river meandering through the centre of the building, a large pool, an indoor climbing wall, a ‘water playhouse’ and a sidewinder.
The facility, which is being developed in partnership with holiday park operator Center Parcs, will be designed as an eco-friendly resort and is scheduled to open in July 2012.
