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!

Fresh snow conditions in Morzine Avoriaz

With all the snow that arrived over the last few days we decided to drive up to Avoriaz and take a hike up the Arare and get as close to the peak of Les Hauts Forts as possible.
Within a couple of hours we were close to the peak but could not make it right to the top due to the risk of slides and sluffing snow. The walk was certainly worth it though as we got fresh tracks in thigh deep powder with blue skies all the way back down to the town.
There is so much snow in Morzine and Avoriaz and it is still snowing now. All the snow cannons are firing so it looks that we may be having an early start to the season.
If you want to make good use of the early snow we still have a few places left for pre Xmas Flexi Breaks w/c 14th Dec click here for more details.
The view from the halfway point. Still a way to go!!
Snowy tracks at the start of the hike
Beautiful mountain views.
