Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Location: snowHeadLand
Resort: Morzine
Country: France

Date: 4th - 11th February 2006
Our holiday: Intermediate skiers, the wrong side of 40.
Website : www.morzine-avoriaz.com
Basics : We travelled with Inghams, charter from Exeter to Geneva. 1.5hr coach transfer to Morzine.
Lift system : Huge lift system, slow chairs. 2 bubbles out of Morzine - 1 to the Morzine/Les Gets area, the other to Avoriaz(and beyond). You can ride 'le petit train' between the bubbles, otherwise 10min walk. The train is like something Noddy would drive.
The terrain : Miles of easy blues and reds. Mont Chery (across the road in Les Gets) has a great terrain park. Really great facilities for beginners in Les Gets and Morzine.
The snow : It hadn't snowed for a couple of weeks. It did snow whilst we were there, but the pistes were quite packed. The weather was great and we enjoyed the skiing. We skied all the reds/blues in Morzine, Avoriaz, Les Gets, Mont Chery, and did a bit in Switzerland. We set off from Morzine in the sun and arrived at the top of Avoriaz in a blizzard !!
Off-piste : Snow conditions weren't good enough, but there looked to be a lot to do.
The resort : I thought Morzine was a bit tired looking. However, this seems to be a French thing. Why can't they pick up rubbish and de-ice the pavements? The Austrians do.
Food : Point de Nyon restaurant on the mountains has to be the best eating place we tried. I had a great mushroom risotto and my other half had the best beef bourgignone ever. We did eat out every night in Morzine and had great meals wherever we went. There's a small place called 'La Flamme' near the Super Morzine bubble that I liked, and one in the main street - can't remember the name, but has a fire burning outside the door. But, you need to book.
Accommodation : Les Champs Fleuris - ghastly food, ghastly room.
b]Costs[/b]: £800.00 each.
Conclusion: Great resort to learn to ski and take the family.Great intermediate terrain. I would go back again but would stay in Les Gets or on the Swiss side. I would opt for self catering because the restaurants were great, and I couldn't find a better hotel than the one we stayed in. And you needn't worry about feeding the kids, because every restaurant we visited made wonderful, fresh pizzas.
