 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just a quick question. I'm just looking at the piste map at the moment trying to work out how people in Avoriaz ski over into Morzine/Les Gets. There seem to be a couple of runs that end at the bottom of a lift called "Zore", and after that there is the Super Morzine lift, but there doesn't seem to be a piste marked under it. Do you have to get Super Morzine down into the town?
Also, once at the bottom of Super Morzine, is it possible to ski through the town to get to the bottom of lifts taking you up the other side, or do you have to walk/bus it?
Thanks!

Lift down and bus across town IIRC

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

Mattgcp, do NOT try and ski down under the Super Morzine lift...it's not a piste, crosses the Avoriaz road several times, etc. Lift down and walk across town (5-10 minutes). You could wait 5-10 minutes for the "petite train".

You ride the Super Morzine gondola down. After that it's either a short walk to the other nearest lift to access the rest of Morzine, or you can take the Disneyland-esque little train if you're feeling fruity.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks for that everyone. I was finding it surprisingly difficult to get an answer by searching on Google!

Oh, and Paulio - I suspect I will be feeling very fruity so may well give that train a go!

if the train is there then get it, otherwise just walk, its less than 5 minutes and only slightly uphill from bottom of super morzine to morzine pleney side.

We always found that walk a bit of a drag...
The blue motorway runs down to the top of Super Morzine are really good, and the Super Morzine is pretty quick, but we always found that five minute walk through town a bit of a drag, especially in ski boots.
The 'petite train' was great, as long as it wasn't 'oversubscribed'... then we'd have to wait for the next turn-around, or walk.
We found we could ski down Crot (blue), at the other end of Avoriaz, or even get the Prodains cable down, then jump on the free ski bus to Morzine. Ten minutes later, it pulls up at the main cross roads in Morzine - 50m or so from the TC du Pleney bubble!
If you intend to do it at least twice, we would recommend both routes; the runs are both stunning, for different reasons. If you need to do it quickly, we would take the Crot/Bus route.
Hint: For a long time, we would follow the blues down to the top of the Super Morzine bubble, including a rather flat bit, about half way down. Took us a while to work out why it was there, but if take a left down the Q'mont blue run, and get on the short Baron drag lift, you miss out the flat section! Doh!

Mattgcp, I'd personally ski the run down to Prodains and take the bus to the other side of Morzine (Pleney)! Less walking involved!

redski, it's only a "drag" if you don't know how to carry your skis properly...

Is there any way to get between them without skiing? is there a bus?
Also with a name like Super Morzine I expected a big lift that maybe went all the way from Morzine to Avoriaz, but the map makes it look relatively short, is that right?

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

Not worth getting the bus to or from Morzine unless you happen to end up at Prodain at the end of the day.
Super Morzine is not a particularly long gondola ride IMV there are then 2 chairs and a blue run before you get to Avoriaz itself. The final chair up gives a good overhead view of the kids doing their tricks in the park.

halfhand, I may have misled by adding my question to an old thread called "How do you ski from Avoriaz to Morzine". I didn't want to start another thread but I'm really asking how do I 'not' ski from Avoriaz to Morzine? only bus?
