    Garmin More Mountain has been selected as one of the leading chalet companies in the Alps to act as a test centre for the new Fortrex401 GPS Satellite Navigation system on the slopes!

    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!

  • Avoriaz to get a facelift

    I have just read this on the internet, courtesy of www.aboutproperty.co.uk. It looks like Morzine Avoriaz is about to get even better….

    Avoriaz is undertaking massive regeneration with the construction of two new districts.

    Pierre & Vacances Group is undertaking the massive regeneration of the Alpine ski resort, giving investors the chance to purchase new-build property in the resort for the first time in 40 years.

    Two entire districts will be built, and 460 ski-in ski-out apartments created, designed to meet the current shortfall of quality accommodation in the resort, which attracts large numbers of visitors each year. Avoriaz is the closest ski resort to Geneva and is completely south-facing, allowing unrivalled sunset views over the Morzine valley.

    The new residences will be built in two new districts of Avoriaz: Amara, at the entrance of the resort, and Crozats, at the top. A wide range of properties will be constructed to cater to different types of investor, including Avoriaz’s first luxury accommodation under the MGM brand.

    The rejuvenation of Avoriaz will be complemented by the construction of a new water fun centre, known as the ‘Aquariaz’. Nick Leach, head of business development for the Pierre & Vacances Group, said: “P&V created the ski station at Avoriaz in 1967 and has been managing investment property in the resort for individuals and institutions ever since.

    “Now 40 years later, these new-build developments herald the start of a new era of luxury mountain living with modern alpine interiors, larger living spaces and spa facilities. Much of the infrastructure and facilities at the resort are also being upgraded, with the aim of cementing Avoriaz’s place as a premier year-round destination.”  The Amara project is scheduled for delivery in 2011.
