Safety - It's common sense that skiing and mountain sports can be dangerous, please ensure you have adequet insurance provision . (Please see our Useful Links page for links to ski insurance providers). Follow the FIS rules covering conduct on the piste. Copies available from the tourist office. Please familiarise yourself with the property – particularly from your child's point of view. The designs are not always child friendly - for instance steep staircases or tile floors. We ask parents take sensible precautions (like children wearing slippers) to help avoid accidents.
Snow record - Morzine Avoriaz has an excellent snow record, but like all resorts, there may be times when the snow is poor. We do not offer a snow guarantee. The resort uses snow cannons to help keep the pistes open. The weather in the Alps is notoriously difficult to predict (English forecasts can be heard on local radio each morning - details in the property). However the following general guide may be useful:
- December – January
- Snow is usually excellent. Although temperatures are lower, the days can still be sunny and trees provide good protection from winds which can close high altitude resorts. Apart from Christmas and New Year, slopes are generally uncrowded with good lift access.
- February – The most popular month
- Temperatures are milder, bur still good enough to prolong good snow. The days get longer, allowing more skiing time when compared to Dec,Mar & Apr.
- March & April – weather gets warmer.
- If the weather is warm lower slopes will begin to get slushy in the afternoon. Late season snow has been excellent recently but skiing days tend to be shorter with many skiers using the afternoon to relax in the sun.
Ski School – As well as the E.S.F. (French ski school), there is also an English run school based in Morzine. We advise to book as early as possible – prices and availability are on the website. We know other property owners in Morzine – if you feel your group is too small please let us know and we'll try and put in touch with others who may be in the same position.
