Very proud to get a mention in The Times this Saturday about More Mountain Luxury Chalets in Morzine being part of an elite set of top 15 sexy chalets across the Alps.
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
France
No 1. The Loft, Morzine
“The look here is that of a slick Manhattan loft with exposed beams and lots of leather sofas. Covering two floors of a farmhouse, The Loft is a short walk from popular après-ski bars. There’s an open-plan kitchen as well as wireless internet, Sky television and iPod docking stations. A free shuttle bus to the main high-speed gondolas stops outside the property every 20 minutes. It sleeps eight and the price includes transfers from the airport.
Details The Loft (0033 686 02 1 805, www.moremountain.com) is from £4,792 a week (£599pp); dinner and B&B with afternoon tea included, flights excluded.”If you subscribe to The Times, you can read more here.

More Mountain in The Independent!
February 2nd, 2011 by SThomas in Chalets

Once again we are proud to be getting a mention in the national press – after 5 years of hard graft, we are really stoked to have been featured in The Independent last Sunday in their “SnowTraveller” Supplement where More Mountain Luxury Chalets gets a big Thumbs Up!
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.
Have a read here….
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!

More Mountain in The Observer!

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.

2 Landrover Defenders – a NEW addition to the More Mountain Team…
September 25th, 2010 by Jon in Chalets, Latest news, Morzine, Snowboarding holidays
Comments (0)
“The Baron” and “Junior” join our team for this winter.
"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!
