The new undercover Morzine swimming pool is open!

All three of the pools are open for business; the kids play pool, the beginner’s pool and the 25m, six-lane main pool. As yet the saunas and the hammams are not open to the public but the saunas are finished and the hammam rooms are not far behind.

The changing area is similar to the one used in the summer with key coded doors, so there is no need for change to lock away your clothes or an uncomfortable and annoying key on your wrist whilst you swim.

The restaurant, A La Piscine, is also open and offers Continental and full English breakfasts from 9.30am as well as a lunch menu and the option of an evening meal on Wednesdays, when the complex is open late, or by reservation.

The centre is open every week day from 12:30 until 19:45 with a late close on Wednesdays and from 14:00 ‘til 19:45 on Saturdays and Sundays and can be found next to the outdoor pool under the Super Morzine bridge.

Hot-pants and budgie smugglers only. No board shorts allowed.

Jonathan exceeded the Nation Legal Speed Limit, clocking a mighty 75.1mph ( 120.9 kph ) on his skis last winter.

Jonathan says…
” I was lucky enough to get freshies down a usually mogulled Black piste in Les Gets. I just pointed my skis down and tried to resist putting a turn in. I knew it was fast, when my ski tips started to flap, my helmet was whistling and my eyes started to water, but I didn’t realise it was over 120kph!! ”

Will More Mountain hail any winners again this year?
We are already top of the league table with a speed of 100.2 kph!

As all of our chalets are Garmin Test Centres you too can enter the Garmin Snowclub Alpine Challenge and be in with a chance of winning.
Just take out one of the fantastic Garmin Oregon 450 GPS devices (complete with Mountain Dynamics Snowranger Resort Mapping) out for the day, then upload your stats onto the Garmin Snowclub website via Garmin Connect.

Fastest – The top prize of your stay for the following year, plus Dakoto 20 with choice of mapping
Furthest – Garmin Foretrex 310XT and Dakota 20 with choice of mapping
Highest – Garmin Dakota 20 with choice of mapping
Prize Draw – Garmin Forerunner 310XT – to encourage the non-competitive.

“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!
