 Poster: A snowHead
|
Looking to try somewhere different in the PDS this year.
Stayed Morzine plenty, Saint Jean D'Aulps last year and Chatel before that.
Found some reasonably priced chalets in Montriond and looking at the map it looks like it's en route to the Lindaret gondola.
Does anyone know whether, snow permitting, you can ski back to the village or would be be stuck with the bus/driving?

Bertie Wooster, you can't ski to Montriond, it's a 5 - 10 minute bus ride to the Lindaret gondola. There's not a lot in the village, a couple of bars and restaurants. There's normally a buzz at the bars at the bottom of the gondola at the end of the day but the last bus leaves quite early, I seem to recall. Having said all that it's a nice place to stop if nightlife isn't your thing..

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

There is someone on here that has a Chalet there. He uses the tag MontriondSkier send him a message and see if he is still renting it out.

I have a place in Montriond and think it is great. The village itself is quiet but you are 10 minutes to Morzine or Ardent. Parking is not usually a problem even in peak weeks. It is one of the sunnier spots in Morzine which makes a difference if you are there for a while.
The bar in Montriond could be better but the people are friendly and it is a nice enough place for a couple after a days skiing.
Definitely need a car.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

The Ski bus does go through there. Appreciate you would need a car to get to Morzine for a night out. It is walkable though.

Bertie Wooster, en route to the Lindarets end of the bubble or the Ardent end? En route to the Ardent end, you could certainly have a few immediately apres ski beers in Ardent, but you still might find yourself needing a car to go anywhere else.
As I believe that there's actually a chalet in Lindarets village these days. That would be ski in and out but I doubt that anywhere is open in the evening except by prior arrangement.
