Now that the summer is truly here, we wanted to get out and about as much as possible, and explore the surrounding mountains that we usually only get to see covered in snow. In the summer everything is more accessible, as there are marked trails and paths up every peak, and you can explore some new off piste areas for…
Winter has finished, the inter season is now upon us, and it is time for us to visit friends and family, relax a little, and get ready for the upcoming summer season. We are looking forward to our Summer in Morzine, with plenty of activities to do in the local area we are excited about getting on some mountain bikes,…
End of season snow, sunshine and parties…and the lift closing dates I can’t believe it’s the end of season already. Winter 2012/13 has really whizzed by in a blur of snow, snow and a bit more snow! March is one of my favourite times of the year though. We have had another great dump of snow in the last couple…
Check out the huge snowfall around Morzine and the surrounding areas from this week… In the last week there has been an unbelievable amount of fresh snow in the French Alps. The snowfall around Morzine and the rest of the valley is now over a foot deep and Les Gets has maybe double that! As for the mountains above you…

This yearly event is held in the school gym and has many wine producers from all over France offering their wares. You can get a real taste of local culture as you walk around and chat…

Autumn in the Alps is just as stunning as Summer or Winter. Although this year we have had rather a lot of rain and as you can see from the next picture the river in Morzine was quite wild this week. The weather does remain warm during the days allowing plenty of hiking and the scenery is stunning. The…

We weren’t looking out for a Marmot when we went for a hike last Saturday but we ended up spotting three! We started out at the Col de L’Encrenaz at 1433m altitude which is a short drive from Morzine up through La Cote d’Arbroz. This pretty little spot is at the back of Les Gets’ Mont Chery mountain and can…
