Our friends at Morzine Source Magazine tell you why there is no reasons at all why you shouldn't visit us this season.
1 – Transfer time
No fewer than 10 airlines fly directly to Geneva from the UK. Les
Gets, Morzine and Avoriaz are the closest major ski resorts to Geneva,
making the transfer time around 1 hour and 15 minutes. Compare that with
the three hours (plus!) you’d spend on a transfer to the Three Valleys
or Espace Killy and you can see why the area is so popular with
families, weekend groups and everyone else too! You’ll be sipping a vin
chaud before you know it.
2 – Micro climate & snow record
No, it’s not a myth. Our three resorts sit slap bang between the
glacial summit of Mont Blanc and the ginormous water mass of Lake
Geneva. It’s a scientifically proven fact that this gives us lots of
powder days. Avoriaz may be one of the highest ski resorts in Europe,
but Morzine & Les Gets certainly aren’t. However, only a fool should
assume that low altitude means poor snow. According to Igluski.com, Les
Gets (at 1172m) and Morzine (at 1000m) had a better average snow depth
throughout the winter season than Courchevel, Meribel, Courmayeur and
Mayrhofen. Our favourite ‘low lying’ resorts don’t do too badly at all.
3 – Price
Here’s an idea. Add up the cost of five key holiday spends during one
day of your holiday. Let’s go with your accommodation, equipment
rental, lift pass, a meal and a beer. Last winter Trip Advisor compared
these same costs in ski resorts across Europe. Using the very same
criteria set by Trip Advisor, Morzine would appear 3
rd on the list, with a total cost of £120.26 per day. Les Gets would be in 4
th place with a total of £133.07 and Avoriaz appeared in 15
th
place with a total of £190.33. All three resorts were significantly
cheaper than the likes of Chamonix (£209.83), Tignes (£289.68) and Val
d’Isere (£290.92). And don't for get ski hire which is very competitevly prices in Morzine. See
Doorstep Skis for prices.
