Garmin Snow Club GPS Alpine Test Centre
Garmin,the global leader in satellite navigation and GPS devices, have joined forces with us here at More Mountain Luxury Chalets to form an official Garmin Alpine Test Centre.
More Mountain are now part of The Garmin Snow Club, one of 10 handpicked chalets across the Alps. This means that guests staying at all of our luxury chalets get the opportunity to test-drive the latest portable Garmin GPS technology device completely free of charge…
Garmin have also set up the Snow Club to offer the Garmin Alpine Challenge. This is designed to see who achieves the highest, fastest or furthest distance travelled in one day on the slopes. As a result, you can win a free holiday or Garmin GPS Device.
Win a FREE winter holiday for 2 at More Mountain or a Garmin GPS device!
Garmin Foretrex401 at More Mountain Luxury Chalets Morzine
Foretrex 401 wrist worn devices, as sported by BBC Ski Sunday’s Graham Bell, are available free of charge in all our chalets and provide guests navigational info with immediate speed, height and distance feedback whilst out on the slopes.
After a day’s riding, our guests can use the free “in chalet” Apple iMacs to simply upload their GPS data onto the Garmin SnowClub web site using the Garmin Connect system. This allows the days activity to be viewed in detail or at a glance and shows the exact routes taken, highest speed, total descent, total ascent, maximum elevation, total distance and more displayed in easy-to-understand graphs.
In winter 2010, guests who uploaded their daily stats via the Garmin Connect System were automatically entered into the 2010 winter season league table and Garmin Snow Club Alpine Challenge. More Mountain managed to secure 2 of the 3 winners this year!
After 5 months, and well over 10,000 tracked miles, Garmin Crowned its Alpine Champions for Winter 09/10:
How Fast? – Jonathon Brothers, 75.1mph – More Mountain Chalets, The Loft, Morzine
*A week’s winter holiday for two at More Mountain, plus a Foretrex 401 device*
How Far? – Ben Lakin, 45.07miles – More Mountain Chalets, Chalet Robin, Morzine

“In our first year of presenting the brand to the snowsports market, we have been overwhelmed with the response” said Chris Merrell, Garmin’s Marketing Manager. “We now intend to push on into Winter 10/11 taking the learning’s gained from our excellent Test Centres and ambassadors Graham Bell and Ed Leigh to further increase the benefits that Garmin brings to snowsports.”
“be in it to win it!”
