Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

I'm off to Morzine in March - I know it's ages away yet - I'd like to put together some good routes. My ski buddy and I are both intermediate-ish and reasonably fit (happy on reds but things unravel a bit on blacks/moguls). We're keen to go over to the Swiss side, partly as a box ticking exercise but if the skiing is good too then great. It seems there are a lot of people on here who are familiar with the area so your suggestions would be most welcome. Or should we just explore and find out for ourselves?

I think you have a choice to make each morning - Avoriaz side or Morzine/Les Gets side. Doing both in one day is a bit of a pain. I don't know Morzine/Les Gets too well so I'll stick to the other bit.

You could have a day in the Pre La Joux/ Linga area. Start from Ardent (bus if you have no car) and after the bubble take the Chaux Fleurie lift to the ridge on your left. From there just follow your nose. La Perdrix Blanche is one of my favourite reds and the run top to bottom of Linga is good with lots of options.

Same start point but head ahead and right and the lifts to the other ridge give access to Avoriaz or you can head back down to the Mossettes lift to access the Swiss side. If the snow is good the runs down to Les Crosets are nice.

Head to Avoriaz (either as above or from Prodains or the lifts up from Super Morzine) and there are two main areas - Fornet bowl which gives access to the Swiss Wall (Chavanette) or Les Hauts Forts which gives access to the black runs including Coupe du Monde which is not too tough and worth a go. The runs back to Avoriaz from Hauts Forts are also good but can be busy.

something a bit different - have a day at St Jean d'Aulps if the snow is good. If you keep moving you will manage two laps of the circuit plus ski all the other runs and it is usually not too busy.

Enjoy! If it's your first visit I'm sure you'll be back

Went to Morzine a couple of years ago last week of feb. loved the town. From There we got to the far side of les gets easily, on a nice easy day with not too early a start and plenty of time to get home. On the other side we got to the far side of les crosets down towards champoussin. That was a bit of a struggle to get back before the lifts shut and before we collapsed with exhaustion. But then again it was Paris school week, we're not' first lifters' and the queues were appalling (both length and the behaviour of the Paris region holidaymakers in queues and on the piste)

We found Morzine and Avoriaz mobbed, but the Swiss side quiet, and untracked even a couple of days after a snowfall - so kept going back. Seems the French stick mainly to their side of the border. To get up to Avoriaz from Morzine we found the super Morzine faster than the cable car, but opinions on this vary.

It's a fantastic area and I think the best scenery out of all the major French areas. Just watch your timings and be prepared to put in some serious mileage. There is a lot of traversing to get somewhere else, you feel you have to just because of the size of the place. And don't go on Paris week!
