 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I regularly go with a group of friends for a long weekend skiing in Morzine. We are looking for somewhere new - ideally a short transfer from Geneva (we have limited flight options). We would like some night life/apres and decent skiing. Any suggestions?

Chamonix? I would have said it’s limited in as much as you have to upload and download but that’s no different to Morzine of late.
Maybe La Clusaz or Grand Bornand? Not sure on the apres ski in those spots though.
Or if you like Morzine why not just stop up in Avoriaz or Chatel for a different base?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Fair point @under a new name, we’ve always got a hire car or private transfer when going to LGB.

Verbier has a lot going for it for a weekend from Geneva

Daughter and partner been to Morzine 3 times, then came with us to Les Carroz start of April, but actually we spent the best days in Flaine - which they said they both loved as an alternative to Morzine / Avoriaz.
We’re looking to go to Flaine again next April.

Thanks everyone, we fly from Newcastle so limited options for long weekends. Verbier is a tempting option. Haven't been for a long time. We normally get a private mini bus so transfers are not normally an issue. I wasn't sure about the apres in Flaine - is there much going on?

Don't think there's much going on in Flaine, but stay in Samoëns instead - nice village with a good few restaurants and bars and ski the Grand Massif including Flaine area. Did exactly that for a long weekend this year and it was great.

@pmercer, Le Chable is a cheaper alternative too for Verbier if price comes in to play at all.

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

+1 for Grand Massif, if you are going mid season then Les Carroz may be a good bet.
You could drive another 30 mins or so along the same valley and get to Megeve which might be good for a weekend if you want upmarket apres.

Samoëns only disadvantage is no lifts from the village. Which may or not be an issue. There must be some bars in Flaine itself?

You know it makes sense.

@pmercer, Meribel is just over 2 hours from GVA, I've done long weekends a few times, quick access to the 3 vallees, enough apres depending on where you stay and skiing/lift infra/skiing height is streets above Morzine IMHO

Zermatt if feeling flush and prepared for a bigger transfer? - access to Cervinia slopes for lunch too.
Courmayeur is only 1:30 drive but you've a cost of the tunnel.
