Winter in Morzine
There is more Skiing around Montriond
& Morzine than you can possibly Ski in a week. On the
far side of Morzine are the slopes of Pleney, where a gentle
blue runs down from the top through the trees, or a good
red that comes straight down. Behind Pleney is access to
Les Gets & Nyon, with Pointe de Nyon and Le Ranfolly
offering some excellent Skiing. There is ample Skiing in
this area for all standards for a week and we have not yet
covered the Portes du Soleil.
The Super Morzine Ski area is
above the tree line, right behind the Chalet. Access to
Super Morzine is via the telecabine that starts at the bottom
of the Morzine footbridge. The runs from Super Morzine are
wide blues with an occasional red, so it’s a great
place to finish a day. You can also gain access from here,
up into Avoriaz.
To ensure that you stay within
your capabilities, the whole area has devised a system of
matching animals to level of difficulty of slope. There
are Rabbits, Stags & Bears, as well as the traditional
Green, Blue, Red & Black.
We prefer to use Ardent as our
access into the Portes Du Soleil as you have the widest
choice of Skiing from this point. At the top of Ardent is
Les Lindarets and from here you can Ski up into Avoriaz,
or take the Les Brochaux chair lift to Pointe de Mossette
and into Switzerland. Alternatively use the Col du Bassachaux
chair into the Chatel valley. One word of warning, if you
Ski into Switzerland or Chatel you need a Portes du Soleil
pass, everywhere else can be Skied on a Morzine / Les Gets
pass
Whatever your standard of Skiing,
you will be able to Ski all week, without that feeling of
deja-vu.
