 Poster: A snowHead

Hi all,
I must apologise for not being on the forum for some time 
Alvoriaz/Morzine has been suggested to me for our March trip that I'm organising, but I know nothing about the place. If anyone can give me an overview and any recommended chalets, that would be great.
I don't even know if Alvoriaz/Morzine is one resort, or two places in the same valley! We're after a good to high quality catered chalet, there will be 6 of us, 2 couples and 2 singles (all in our 30's)
Thanks all.. hope you are all enjoying the fresh snow!

Two different resports, same linked lift pass area.
Morzine has loads of good chalets, but an awful lot are a very long way away from the slopes and require being picked up and dropped off at a lift in the morning/evening. If you want to be within walking distance of the slopes this narrows it down a bit.
Avoriaz is mainly apartments and hotels (although someone might know of some chalets up there) its a purpose built resort and all ski in ski out.

Thanks Kat..
We are open to other resorts, just trying to avoid the 3V's, as we've been there 3-4 times on the trot & fancy something different.

If open to other resorts, you can do a lot worse than Tignes...

You should try on chalets direct .com - post up your requirements and people come back to you with suggestions.
I'm just back from Morzine and stayed with a company called Mountain Moments (my third time in the same chalet) - based a walkable mile outside of Morzine town and impeccable service - transfer service to any lift you want, complimentary ski guiding offered, outdoor hottub, transfers and packed lunches included in price and food was lovely.
Morzine's great for the whole range of abilities, and the town itself has enough bars and restaurants to keep you entertained in the evenings.

europa, if you were going to search anywhere then don't forget that it's 'Avoriaz' 
Rois1980's suggestion sounds good. Morzine would give you the best of both worlds (IMO).

europa, Its a great area and you will have fun. If you want a Chalet then it will be in Morzine (Note Les Gets is also linked) as others said Avoriaz is a purpose built concrete place.
There are a few  on here with Chalets that will be along in a short while.... Plus others out there doing the season

europa, Morzine/Avoriaz will do you well. Our B&B in Morzine will not as we have no double beds for your couples.
Could try Challenge-activ at Chalet Flori www.challenge-activ.com under new ownership this year but still owner run.

Hmm.. we haven't found anything yet - if anyone knows of a great catered chalet in Portes du Soleil, we need 5 bedrooms (7 people).
Big lounge, hot tub, thanks.

Best chalet of all time ever in the world that there is: http://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=63900
Morzine is basically the town at the bottom of the hill, you get in a bubble up to Avoriaz and the main ski area. No massive advantage to being in either IMO, as long as there are runs open from Avoriaz down to the bubble (which there will be at that time of year)

Hi europa, I organised a trip for 7 to moraine in January and stayed with Alpine Navigations at chalet musadiere and the whole trip was brilliant. Couple of minutes walk to both the main lifts and the same into the centre of the resort. Would highly recommend!
Give Richard a call on the contact details at http://www.alpinenavigations.com/

This is not actually in Morzine or Avoriaz but is connected by the free busses. I thought MontriondSkier would have been along to suggest it, I have not stayed there but it looked nice. When we stayed in Morzine we often took the bus past here to get into the skiing at Ardent as it was much quicker in to the main area than taking the super Morzine Bubble and all the links to get over to Avoriaz.
Maybe worth a look

Seems a lot of the suggestions are all booked up. I think it's a French school holiday - that doesn't help.

if you arent fixed yo try freedomski.co.uk they run 2 catered chalets, whilst not ski in ski out very close to bus stops which are really regular & they also have a driver service. Hot tubs, fabulous food & wine, wonderful hosts, newly renovated & smart. Not the cheapest option but I would say one of the best in Morzine. Avoriaz isnt too pretty so wouldnt stay there & Les Gets is at the other end so would make skiing Avoriaz a bit of a pain as would need to bus part of it.
