For any Morzine types, The Bec Jaune Brewery, 220 route de la Combe à Zore is what you knew as the Chavoyard.

A few things to reply to:
Yes, it is usually a "French" start, just after 6.15. Try and get there as early as you can, as we can't keep everyone else waiting too long.
Free training on Wednesdays ? We've not heard anything about this. It's certainly nothing to do with us. As far as we are aware the only free things in Chamonix are gravity, and our presentations.
Hope to see you all there

I've spotted Avalanche Academy, out on the hill doing the training, it looks a real job of work. Still tempted.
