More Mountain is in The Times TOP 15 Sexiest Chalets in The Alps

SThomas — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 12:15:06 +0000

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.”

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.

It’s been snowing all day. About 60cm has fallen and it’s getting heavier.

More heavier snow at the week end. This season just gets better and better

Well the pattern of a dump a week is very much in place. We had loads of snow last week followed by blue skies on Saturday. Had some epic fresh powder runs down Crozat Bowl.

It has now been snowing off and on since Sunday and it looks like there is a load more to come tonight and tomorrow…

Blue skies from Wednesday and a trip to Chamonix is on the cards for our day off.

Watch this space for the pics.

Cheers

It’s been a while since my last snow forecast blog due to a crazy Jan with “sNOwPARKING” and “OUR CAMP” freestyle weeks, heli boarding in Italy and various backcountry hiking powder missions- Blogs, Vids and Pics coming soon.

Anyway, what an epic start to Feb. It has now been snowing solidly for over 2 days all the way down to village level.

Woke up this morning to a fresh dump of 30+cm and the good news is that there is a sack full more to drop this week and temps are dropping to superminus figures.

Anyone out for the school hols is in for some truly brilliant conditions…

Well after blue skies and very cold temps for the last few weeks it looks like we are in for a dusting of new snow for the New Year. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Here are the snow conditions here in Morzine and Avoriaz.. EPIC!!!

I have not seen so much snow fall in Morzine in such a short period of time.

Loads more snow is on the way with temps remaining very cold. Anyone that is coming out for a pre Xmas slide is in for a really good time.

Here’s a pic of the new rainbow rail in The Stash. It really is that big!!!

I am off for a slide in waist deep powder!

Well there has been dustings of new snow most evenings and the temperatures have been very cold. Snow cannons have been firing each night.

Still snow in Morzine village, and the lower Pleney slopes are still white. More snow is due to arrive throughout the coming week and temperatures will remain cold.

We had a day’s riding up in Avoriaz on Saturday and things are looking really good for an early opening next weekend, very good bases on all pistes and a good covering off piste but the larger rocks are still poking up to wreck new boards!!

Gratuitous photo time, taken whilst hiking the Arare the other week…

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.
