 Poster: A snowHead
|
Off to Morzine for first time in this resort. Staying at top of Pleney lift. Will be 5th April so keen to work out how to avoid the crowds of Pleney area and ideally get over to Avoriaz and Champery as well.
Looks like it's bus / train from bottom of pleney over to super morzine? From there hopefully it's easy to ski over to rest of area. Or bus I guess to Prodains or Ardent.

5 min walk to Super-M.
What crowds? Should be fairly quiet.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Not that many British people go skiing at Easter and, perhaps more relevant, relatively few French people do. Some Belgians, but shouldn't be ridiculously crowded by any means (though if this warm weather carries on and snow continues to melt at the current rate everybody and his dog will be in Avoriaz).

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

There IS a little train (think end of the pier childrens ride) but unless you have specific mobility issues I wouldn't bother with it. It's a 5 minute/500m stroll even with skis - down the road in front of you at the bottom of Pleney, across the square between the ice rink and lift pass office, left on the road, then rightwhen you get to the petrol station/bank roundabout and the Super Morzine lift is 100m dead-ahead.
You can walk it in less time than it takes to queue up, wait for the 'train' and catch 'train'.

Easy, yes just a little flat and boring.
Worth stopping for a quick one in the bar at the top of the Super Morzine on the way back.

I'd be tempted to take a bus from the bottom, straight to Prodains, which is where we are based. The new Prodains Express is super fast and you'll get to the centre of Avoriaz with a lot less hassle than the Super Morzine route. Given how warm it is at present I'd suggest the same route back

Last week the run from the top of the Le Fornet chair all the way to the bottom of the Prodains gondola was one of our favourits last week. Good long run, no-one else seemed to be using it at all and the snow was holding up better at the bottom than at the bottom of the Ardent gondola.
Only issue with using the bus too/from Prodains is the fact they still have the blooming heating on in them!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Mjit, ?? you can't get from the top of Fornet to Prodains in one run.

Try - wrong peak!
We were going up Prodains, drop down round past Changabang and up Lac Intrets chain, then down from top of that to bottom of Prodains.
Why can't they put some really high-rez pieste maps online!
