Have just booked a week skiing with the lads for Feb, is it easy to do a night of Morzine nightlife and get a late local taxi back up to Avoriaz? Are taxis in Morzine readily available, are there any limitations as to the latest time a taxi would take us back up to Avoriaz.
Is it worth doing this one night to mix things up a bit?
thanks

avalon42, you will use to, as there is practically no night life in Avoriaz.

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

Depends what you mean by nightlife. There's certainly more going on in Morzine but I was quite happy with a few pints in the pubs in Avoriaz. Maybe I'm getting old !

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

And it's a 40 minute drive...
Why bother?

under a new name, that's another question entirely. I dont know what Avoriaz nightlife is like (Morzine isn't exactly brilliant, tbh) like so can't advise.

Dr John, Depends on your expectations really. You should see the bars I hang out in at home...

We're not expecting 'epic' nightlife, but some lively bars would be good. I've had a couple of people tell me the night life in Avoriaz is alright, fairly lively, I'm sure it'll be ok?!
In regards to venturing out to Morzine one night the question is is it easy to get a taxi gone 12 from Morzine back up to Avoriaz, or would we need to book one in advance?
Does anyone have any local taxi numbers, on googling I've only found 'taxi No. 9' Morzine but their website mentions more airport transfers than local runs.

Prebook with Nash Cabs (Bar National in St Jean- their website will tell you all you need to know) there is another one too that I can't remember- try run til 2am if pre-booked
Mr NN says the other one is Mountain Cabs but I don't think that's right

We got a taxi last year, a spanking new range rover, so you can have a guess at the prices charged!!

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

avalon42, Always seemed to be plenty Taxis in the main sq when we were there few years back, but it is a long trip to Avoriaz so I doubt you will do it more than once. If you need a large one (van) then you would be better booking.

You know it makes sense.
|
avalon42, I would not be at all comfortable not having a guaranteed journey home. Could make for a very uncomfortable night!

Is it really a 40 minute drive? I've never done it, always got the bus to Prodains and then the cable car. I've crossed the road on chairlfts but actually i have no idea which road to take out of Morzine to get to Avoriaz.
That's going to be pricey in a cab, and avalon42, there are lots of bars and restaurants in Avoriaz, I think you'll find it lively enough.

Thanks for the advice, will def book a taxi back in advance if we do venture to Morzine.

avalon42, Still unconvinced why you'd want the bother. Avoriaz kept my chalet staff quite naughty enough for a season.
