Quick Poll – Choosing Your Ski Resort

Question : What is the most important factor when choosing your ski resort?

Share your opinion by completing the poll to the right of this post!

Is it the mix of bars, restaurants and night life that will keep you entertained and topped up on your favourite tipple? Morzine offers many bars, clubs and apres ski spots where you can share a few drinks after a hard day on the mountain as well as a huge array of fantastic restaurants serving anything from the locally famed Tartiflette to great pizzas, steaks and flaming fondues!

Is it more to do with the size of the ski domain that is available on the one ski pass? (Just to let you know, Morzine and the Portes du Soleil offers a massive 650 km of piste on the one Morzine Lift Pass (PDS).  Not to mention the crazy amount of off piste.)

Or is it purely down to cost of the ski pass? (There are a range of Morzine Lift Pass prices available to suit every budget).

Are you only interested in the very high resorts to ‘guarantee’ great snow? During the poor snow season three years ago, Morzine and Avoriaz fared better than most resorts thanks to many of the lower pistes being on a grass base and a high number of northerly facing slopes.

What about the ease of access to the slopes? There are four bases setting off from Morzine and nearby hamlets taking you straight up to the pistes.  Super Morzine, Pleney, Prodains Cable Car and of course the Nyon cable car.  You can also ski all the way back into the village via the Pleney.
