Why Should I Celebrate A Big Birthday In The Mountains?

Are you celebrating a big birthday this year, or do you know somebody who is? If so, why not make it one to remember by heading to the mountains?

The French Alps provide a fantastic backdrop for celebrating milestone birthdays. Whether you want a low-key gathering with little fuss or something more energetic, ski resorts like Morzine have everything to make big birthdays special.

Your Private Ski Chalet

You'll want to celebrate a big birthday with your nearest and dearest, and what better venue than your own private ski chalet? Our luxury chalets are perfect for friends and family to have the best possible birthday experience. Here's why:

Fabulous Hosts To Look After You

On a catered ski holiday, everything is taken care of. When you arrive at your catered chalet, our chalet hosts will be there to give you a warm welcome and your first drink in the resort. They will look after you and your group throughout your visit, ensuring a fun and trouble-free stay.

Each morning, your hosts make sure you start your day right with a cooked breakfast before driving you to the ski lifts. Your hosts also create delicious evening meals for you to enjoy after a day on the slopes.

When it comes to birthday celebrations, your chalet hosts can add personal touches to make it a memorable occasion. Let us know in advance, and your hosts will bake a delicious birthday cake and decorate the chalet with balloons and banners.

In addition to this, your chalet hosts are on hand to give you insider knowledge and tips for making your birthday trip even better.

Luxurious, Spacious Chalets

Our catered chalets and larger self-catered chalets are perfect for birthdays, as there is more than enough space for everyone. You can sit around the large dinner table or dance around the beautifully decorated and expansive living areas. On top of this, all our chalets have superb sound systems, ideal for cranking up your favourite party tunes.

The Perfect Place To Relax

All our properties feature our signature laid-back luxury touches. So, you can chill out in the cosy and comfortable living spaces when you're all partied out, or relax before the festivities begin. And remember that most of our chalets have outdoor hot tubs for soaking sore muscles after a day on the slopes - or nights on the dancefloor!

Close To All The Action

Location is SO important to a holiday, especially with a big group. Our chalets and apartments are all in prime central Morzine locations, close to the shops, bars, restaurants, and lifts. 

For the ultimate ease, we provide a driver service to and from the slopes for Catered Chalet guests, including an Aprés Ski Boot Drop. Your hosts can meet you at the bar after a day on the slopes to swap your skis and boots for shoes. Then, you can enjoy the après scene before staggering back to the chalet for dinner with comfortable feet.

If you choose to stay Self Catered, we have you covered too! Ask us about our Slope Transfer Service, a stress-free solution to get your group to the ski lifts without having to negotiate the free ski bus system.

A Little Something Extra

We take care of everything to make your holiday easy wherever you're staying - just let us know what you need when you book.

For example, in Self Catered properties, we can have your fridge stocked with essentials ready for when you arrive.

Does the birthday boy/girl have a favourite drink? We can arrange for additional fizz, spirits, beers or wine to be waiting at the chalet for your arrival.

Take a look at our carefully selected Wine & Beer menu, which includes some delicious non-alcoholic options. And remember, on a Catered Chalet holiday, all drinks are included!

For The Kids

Travelling with kids or babies? We can supply high chairs, travel cots, kids' plates and cutlery on request. We'll also pre-arrange the nappies, wet wipes etc., to save you precious suitcase space!

Birthday Treats In Morzine

Morzine has so much to offer that will make the birthday one to remember. Let's take a look at some examples:

Dining At One Of Morzine's Fantastic Restaurants

Morzine has a fantastic selection of local restaurants. Eating out lets you experience more of Morzine and embrace mountain life. Why not sample local Savoyard specialities or go for something a little less cheesy?

Experience Something New

The mountains around Morzine create a big playground, and locals have found many ways to enjoy the landscape in new ways. For example, we recommend night sledging as one of the craziest and most entertaining things to do before dinner.

Alternatively, you can get above it all on a tandem paragliding flight, blast around Avoriaz on a snowmobile, or even ski with birds of prey on Nyon. Click here for more ways to make it a birthday to remember.

If you're looking for another gift idea, why not give them an off-piste skiing experience? The Portes du Soleil has many hidden off-piste gems, but a local guide can take you to them, give you tips on how to ski them better and keep you safe. 

Heading into the Portes du Soleil's backcountry with a guide is a fantastic experience and creates lasting memories. But be warned, it's addictive, so it may not be a one-off day out.

Not everything in Morzine has to involve adrenaline, food and drink. More relaxing gift ideas include a massage, beauty treatments, or a spa day. Morzine has many health and beauty professionals who will come to your chalet for convenient pampering.

Why Should I Celebrate A Big Birthday In The Mountains? - Answered!

People often head abroad to celebrate milestone birthdays, so why not come to Morzine to make it one to remember? You can take it easy, spend the whole trip partying, or use it as an opportunity to experience more of the mountains.

We also offer 3 or 4-night catered Short Breaks for those who can't quite squeeze in a whole week of celebrations.
