A recent article by Yodel Magazine revealed just how good a deal the Portes du Soleil Lift Pass 2012 is!

To make a realistic and useful comparison, they compared the lift pass prices of 7 large European ski areas based on a 6 day lift pass for both adults and children when purchased directly from the ski lift operator in each resort, based on information provided directly from the tourist office in each area. Here are their findings:

It does seem that the Portes du Soleil does offer the best value for money when considering the size of area that it is on offer and the number of lifts that are available.

At a time when you want to make sure that you are getting value for your money, the lift pass associated with the wider area of Morzine does seem to be the best out there. Why not combine this with one of our ski deals to ensure that the money that you do spend is money well spent.  For more information about our catered chalets and self catered apartments in Morzine then please contact us.

On the 30th July 2011, 12 very keen road bikers arrived at our Farmhouse la Desmeuniere in Morzine to join our Alpine Road Bike Camp 2011

We are already planning the Alpine Road Bike Camp 2012 alongside Nick Miles from UrbanFit so please email us for dates and further details.

People often think of climbing as a sport for adults and when I say adults I mean lithe, strong, very fit men with bulging biceps. However, rock climbing is a sport for everyone and if you start your children young enough then the fear factor is minuscule and they just go from strength to strength.

Morzine is a superb resort to get your children started. With some great beginner rock faces to start with and expert tuition available then what better place to commence scaling some rock. We took our 5 year old boy, Jack (see photo) for his first rock climb. Like most children of his age off he went with an abundance of energy and shot up the rock face. Then the realisation hit him that what goes up must come down!! Sitting back and trusting the rope was a whole other ball game and required – well lets just say some gentle persuasion. However, after a few abseils he learnt to trust the rope and was abseiling down fine by the end of the day.

Enjoy a climbing long weekend or week long holiday the The Great Escape in Morzine and stay in our beautiful 18th Century Farmhouse la Desmeuniere. So if your children are driving you up the wall this summer holiday then come to Morzine and get them scaling a different kind of wall!
