At night the town comes alive with bar after bar welcomign you in - the Dixie Bar is continually packed (and boasts the biggest big screen TV in the resort. The owner is an avid Man U fan and so sport is continually playing - one day England will have to beat france!
Advantages: location, food, quality of accomodation, friendliness of staff Disadvantages: none
What a fabulous place!
When I saw this place on the web site www.thefarmhouse.co.uk it looked quaint and romantic, but the web site cannot do it justice!
We were collected from Geneva Airport in a smart minibus with a really friendly, chatty driver - Harry. The hour and 15 minute drive to Morzine passed quickly as he gave us tips on where best to ski and where the biggest lift queues were likely to be.
Morzine was just a described, a lovely picturesque place, completely unlike some of the high rise type of resorts that we had previously visited in France. When we got to The Farmhouse, our initial thought was "This looks a bit old" which of course - it is as we found out, it is the oldest building in the village.
Old certainly didn't mean grotty though. Our first impression when we walked in to The Farmhouse was simply - wow ...
Advantages: Service standards, excellent staff, great chalet Disadvantages: none I can think of
We have just returned from a week at the Chalet Montagnes with Simply Morzine. This is our second time with Simply Morzine, last year was at the Hotel Chaumiere. As before, we had a large group of 15, mixed adults and children (3 yrs - 9yrs).
The Chalet is just fantastic, just outside town, but within easy walk to Felix Ski, and the Pleney cablecar. What sets it aside from any other holiday we've been on is the level of service that is provided by Simply Morzine. They are outstanding in attention to detail, and no request is too much. From arrival at Geneva Airport, first night briefing and delivery of lift passes, picking up skis/boots, through shuttle to/from slopes every day, to the most amazing cooking from Tom, the top chef. We couldn't fault a thing.
The phrase of the week was 'millionaire lifestyle'. Well done to Mike ...
Advantages: good snow, big ski area, pretty Disadvantages: Fairly quiet, not a lot of shops.
I have fond memories of Les Gets,the small Alpine village in the Haute Savoie. It was where I learnt to ski, and I had a fantastic time.
The flight is normally to Geneva- a short flight- but the downside is that it is a long coach transfer. The roads are just a bit scarey to the resort (my friend was ill), so if you can afford it pay for a transfer by taxi- its about £90 now!
The village is very pretty, based around one main road that links the valley with Morzine on the other side. A few shops, some bars, and a poor nightclub (l'igloo); but great skiing.
On one side you have Mont Caly and Mont Chery. This is the highest skiing in the resort, is virtually snow sure, but is not that extensive, it does link with the back of Morzine if you fancy skiing one of the scariest runs I have ever met in my life!
The other side is called "Les ...
