A shortish report following our 4 day trip to Morzine.
We totally lucked out with the weather and had 3 blue sky days of faultless skiing. Plenty of snow though it was quite warm so the slopes by the end of this week will be worn as no new snow is forecast. Managed the Swiss Wall no better or worse than the majority.
Since we only wanted 3 nights B&B, our options for staying was limited. I booked l’Aubergade without knowing anything/reading any review about the hotel or its location in Morzine.
When we pulled up I couldn’t believe our luck, the hotel is Ski in ski out very near the Pleney lift. The bar/lounge has been cleverly designed and reminded us of some bars in Berlin. Very cool. Rooms were basic but clean with a power shower.
Had I done a ounce of research I would’ve known that they can also sort out child care and had an in-house nursery. Next year we’ll take the kids as we will definitely return.
Finally, I think the prices in Morzine have actually fallen since we were last here. We could eat/drink out well for around £50. 2 large glasses of Vin Chaud on the slopes was about £7, cheaper than Cardiff at Christmas! A glass of house wine in the bars was about £3, again cheap. Since we had some cash leftover we bought ourselves 2 new ski jackets and trousers, soft shell French company for around £300.
All in we had an excellent time and only had 30min delay in GVA on the way home!
