 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi folks,
I am off to Avoriaz on Sunday and am so excited. I have skied in the PDS before and am happy with my knowledge of Avoriaz and to a lesser extent Chatel and the area around Pre la Joux.
I am however unfamiliar with Morzine and Super Morzine which is where I am hoping you guys might be able to help me out.
I have a mate who is away with her family on their first every trip at the same time and I would love to be able to meet them for a bit of après and possibly a couple of small runs at the end of the day.
She is staying at Hotel Viking on the Pleney. Does anyone know of this hotel?
What’s my best route down from Avoriaz? Is it possible to ski down? Or would I have to take the gondola (can’t remember the name of it). If I take the gondola where do I go from there and what time does it run to, to enable me to get back up to Avoriaz?
Thanks very much.

You can get a bus into Morzine from the bottom of the Prodains lift - or ski down to the bottom of it. Then you need to take the bubble up to the top of Pleney, the Viking hotel is right there. Alternatively ski down to the top of the Super Morzine bubble and then take that down and walk across the town again to the Pleney lift.
Very sorry, but I don't know what time these lifts stop running though. I am sure someone else will be along who can tell you that.
Alternatively you could arrange to meet them at the top of the Super Morzine bubble - they could get there, you could have your few runs, have a beer or two and then you could take the lift back into Avoriaz and they could go down and up again to Pleney.
Hope you enjoy it all once you arrive on Sunday.

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

You can't ski from Avoriaz down to Morzine town. The Super Morzine bubble takes you down from the Avoriaz side and then you need the Pleney cable car up to where the hotel is. It's a five minute walk between the two lifts. Don't know what times either lifts stop but it's not particularly late.

Just wondering about the Viking hotel, how do guests arrive/leave? The only way I can see to get there is by the Pleney lift but I've never seen anyone with luggage in it

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

There are actually two Pleny lifts. The main one which is for skiers, and an older gondola. This is used to transport the luggage up to the Viking (which is the pits!). As far as apres is concerned BE CAREFUL! The old lift does not run every evening, so inmates, I mean residents, are stuck in the Viking and forced to pay their rates. However, if you pick your night you will be fine until the last lift, which is after midnight I think.
To ski from Avoriaz, I would go to Super Morzine, then walk across town or take the land train. It isn't far!

Jeraff, yes - I did mean that they would have to download in the Super Morzine bubble and not ski down.
