Andy Mullett from United Kingdom
Helped that we choose what we were told was the second best week of the season!
Had a very mixed party of twelve, including one complete beginner and a couple who decided to do some snow-shoeing, and we all thoroughly loved the holiday, despite a big dump of snow during the first couple of days which made things very heavy on the pistes (but great for those of us who want to explore a bit).
The basic Pleney area is pretty crowded with ski-schoolers, as were the slopes above Les Gets, but we spent a lot of time in the Chavannes area. Great reds on both sides of the valley and had one totally uncrowded day at Mont Chery, the highlight being lunch in the top restaurant (Les Grandes Orson); excellent food and great views to Mont Blanc.
Had a couple of days in Avoriaz, found the runs much more crowded than in Morzine, but good skiing once we got over the border into Switzerland - but give the long blue into Morgines a miss unless you want a long pole! One place we wished we'd stopped for lunch was the second (very small) restaurant down the very long red (Rapaille) into Gran Paradis - the fondue being eaten in the sun looked and smelt lovely, the sort of place you dream of finding on the slopes.
We stayed in a lovely chalet (Chez Nous) but it was high up under the Super Morzine chair - luckily we were hiring skis from SkiSet in town so could keep stuff in their bootroom - if you had had to carry skis or boards back up to the chalet it would quickly have become less than fun! The lesson is check out exactly where you're staying - it can be a long steep trudge back home!
Holiday arranged through skiline.co.uk who were most helpful in sorting everything out for us.
As we were flying EasyJet we hd a mid-morning flight out, so could sort out skis etc before we started, and then had a late flight back so we could ski until 4pm on day of return - effectively an extra day's skiing as the transfer time is so quick to Geneva.
Thoroughly recommend it!

First trip to PDS was 12 - 19 Jan 2013. Group of 8 friends. Stayed in an apartment booked through resa-morzine. Great value and v handy for Pleney lifts, Tremplin bar etc. Snow was excellent due to a large drop the day before arrival and smaller top-ups during the week. I think the lower, busier slopes around Morzine town could be a little sketchy otherwise. Great blue runs in Les Gets, Nyon and back down to Morzine. Nice testing reds both near the tops and lower down, although the lower ones got a little hard in the afternoons. Ski Morzine/Les Gets on cloudy/snowy days and head up to Avoriaz for the sun or if snow not so clever in Morzine. Crowds around first lifts soon disperse as you venture further out. Easy to ski from Morzine to Les Crosets in Switzerland and back by lunch if you can ski blues easily and get the SuperMorzine at 9am.
Drink in Le Tremplin between 4 and 7 ish in your ski kit (cold but great crack), have a meal/snooze/shower then head for the Tibetan for a flatliner or two 'til 11 then downstairs to the Cavern for table dancing 'til you fall off.
Good place all round. -

Morzine is a great venue for groups with various levels of skiers and non skiers (as you can always meet up for lunch).
With the whole of the Port de Soleil for the taking no problem with variety.
Bass is great for all levels and ages, really good one on one lessons. Yes, you pay more but still worth it.
The snow institute is also very good.
Come on snow. -

Chris Leeks from United Kingdom
I returned from Morzine on 27th March 2012. The temperature in the resort in the sun was in the mid twenties, but as the sun went over the crest of the hill the temperature fell. This meant a slight refreeze and combined with the hard work of the piste bashers a great day's skiing beckoned the next day. Although the spring conditions meant it was better to get out on the slopes early and maybe finish a little earlier.
From Morzine you can take the Pleney lift and ski above Les Gets, or take the super Morzine and ski through Avoriaz and on to Switzerland. A bewildering choice of skiing offering many skiparks and the infamous Swiss Wall, which is not for the feint hearted.
The town had a relaxed, unpretentious feel with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. We had a full Porte de Soleil pass which gave us ample choice of slopes. We particularly enjoyed the reds around Avoriaz. The resorts were all connected well with clear sign-posting and a bus service.
Having skied Les Trois Vallees and Paradiski I think would have to rate Porte de Soleil as my favourite of the large ski areas.
I shall return next winter.

Tyler from United Kingdom
I spent a week in Morzine w/c 29th Jan. The skiing was superb. Perfectly pisted snow if a little cold at times (-22!) The local ski area of Morzine and Les Gets has plenty of piste to keep you occupied for a week. My advice would be head away from the front of the Pleney. All the blues are full of ski schools and the reds were sheet ice. Over in the other bowls near Les Get or Nyon there were lots of lovely empty blues and reds through the trees with a couple of more difficult reds and blacks if you want to test yourself! You can also get the Super Morzine bubble up to Avoriaz. There are some excellent blues at the top of the lift. Lift queues were minimal and organised. The food on the mountain wasn't too expensive. I would suggest the smaller mountain restaurants over the big self service affairs as they all had home cooked food at much lower prices.
I'd certainly recommend this resort and I'll definitely be going back. -

Al Sweet - Bristol from United Kingdom
I have been skiing in Morzine once or twice a year for the past dozen or so years and love it. The variety of runs, restaurants and apres-ski is amazing.
As our budget, group size and accommodation needs have changed over this time we have always been able to easily find something in Morzine to suit our exacting standards. It is also an easy flight (Bristol-Geneva) and transfer (1 hour Geneva-Morzine) or a 10-12 hour (including channel crossing) 600 mile plus 60€ in tolls each way drive (we drive these days as it tends to be cheaper for a family car load).
We have been taking the children along for the past 6 years and have tried various ski schools et al but the only one that I would highly recommend, having been with them for the last 4 years, is The Snow Institute ran by Sally and her team. The children have consistently received only the best instruction and childcare and the kids have loved every minute of their time with TSI. This has resulted in them being able to out ski their folks for past couple of trips!
Of course there is always the occasional gripe......why does the petit train stop for an hour at lunchtime?. Why is there so little in town car parking? etc, etc. But these are easily outweighed by the positives that Morzine has to offer.
We will be back again in early April having already done a week in January. Bring it on!

Just got back from France, and thought if anyone was skiing this year or in the future with kids etc, and looking for lessons, it was worth going through some of the options;
The British Ski School is the best for kids, but you need to book early – Search for BASS Morzine for their website.
BASS ski schools have smaller class sizes (plus one on one lessons – which are fantastic), the kids classes are a max of 5-6 kids, they all speak English, and they really look after the kids
Why not use the French Ski Schools?
ESF (Escole Ski Francais) (aka - The Red Coats),
These guys are a nightmare, the kids classes sizes are 10 or more (I counted 15 in a class), they lost kids twice while we were in France, most instructors do not speak great English, and conversing with little ones is not great “shouting at a 4 year old in French to get up is not helpful”…
The ESF school have set up another Ski School to try and copy the BASS schools, it is called “The Snow School”, basically they choose their best English speakers, put them in a different coloured jacket and charge 20 euros an hour more!, what’s more you could have a lesson with a guy from The Snow School in the morning for 70-80 Euros, and then have a lesson with the same instructor in the afternoon with an ESF Jacket on for less. (The two offices are next door to each other)
Henry (6yrs) had 3 private lessons this year (2 hrs each), and came back smiling from every lesson, did his Polar Bear, Bronze, Silver, and Stage 1, and then proceeded to ski with me in the afternoons, I could hardly keep up, he just wanted to ski through the trees and over jumps
Brilliant!

Arriving in Morzine 26 Dec for 5 days. Mixed reports on snow. Can anyone give me an update? Some reports of poor snow, some reports of good snow. Are lifts open and if not when do they open?

Enjoy the beautiful sunny crisp autumnal days because ...... snow is arriving in Avoriaz after the weekend on Wednesday and it snows continuously from then on through Sunday with around 80cm of snow forecast to Monday morning. Morzine has sunshine until a little light rain on Wednesday turning to snow overnight and then continuous snow from next weekend. Woo hooo!

Tom from United Kingdom
We stayed in Morzine last February with a group of friends in a catered chalet run by Treeline Chalets. It was the best place that I have ever skied and possibly one of my best holidays (thanks Treeline). The resort itself is only at 1000m so I was slightly worried especially with the snow last year but it was absolutely fine, in some ways much nicer than staying at a higher altitude resort. The first lift at Prodain takes you straight up to 1800M and you are always skiing above this! We have just booked our holiday back there this year!

david welsh from United Kingdom
We visited Morzine in beginning of Feb 2011. The snow was a bit icy as the sun was out for 6 days!!
I have skied plenty of resorts over the years and this is up there with the best of them. We stayed with the company Alpine Ski and Golf who made our stay even better.
The resort itself is great; plenty of small bars (no probs watching the footy) good night life if you want it but quiet when you don't!
There is a massive variety of runs to be had even if there were some that were closed due to lack of snow. So don't panic if you are looking at conditions leading up to your hols and the web cams arn't showing much snow, I guarantee there will be plenty to ski on.
We are going back again in Feb 2012. Can't wait. -

James Doyle from France
Just a comment on summers here. Great for a Brit who likes to talk about the weather. When it's sunny it is hot - 29 today. Then occasionally we get a massive thunder storm, get cool, clears the air and then it's hot. So not wall to wall sunshine everyday but it never stays cloudy for more than a couple of days. The mountain and road biking is fantastic and there's always something going on. Not to everyones taste I know but this weekend it's the European Harley Davidson Festival and Status Quo are playing outside the Tourist Office on Saturday night on the biggest stage I've ever seen! If you fancy a bit of Blue Grass come to the Bar National the Saturday after that - featuring a fantastic harp player - Me! Go on you know you want to.

Having skied many resorts in France we consider the Portes du Soleil ski area to be the best! There is always somewhere to ski, even if conditions are poor, as the area is vast and well-groomed. We stay in St Jean D'Aulps just out of Morzine as it is quieter and more relaxed but has very good amenities and a beautiful local ski area. Alpine-Adventure provides a service second to none! Wonderful hosts and accommodation. Will be returning as soon as possible!

To all those who know Morzine well, or perhaps don't! Visit the newly refurbished 'Le Chaudanne'. 5 mins walk down Route de la Plagne from tourist office. Tasteful new wine bar in stone and wood basement and great new restauarant. Food thankfully not changed. Still superb as ever.

ann from United Kingdom
Just as an add on to the comment on buying an area pass daily, wouldn't personally recommend myself. If you're good skiers and go to Avoriaz, you will want to cross several areas in one day. We often do Avoriaz first thing then shoot over into Switzerland and do all the villages right over to Morgins and back, when conditions good.

Ade from United Kingdom
Just spent a week in Morzine in the Viking. The conditions were not ideal, but that's the chance you take I suppose going so late in the season. Despite the lack of snow, the runs were well prepared and the local population, be it lift attendants, shop keepers, hotel staff were very friendly and helpful.
My only complaint would be the level of "instruction" afforded by ESF. Booked the kids in to ski school, which, due to the numbers and lack of instructors was more like a creche! The instructor the kids had was very unhelpful and in fact downright rude, refusing to even acknowledge the kids when they tried to say thank you (in French!) I take on board all the comments as to speaking the local language and as a group we all have reasonable French, with the exception of the kids. Language barriers aside, a smile is universal!
Despite the "instruction", I would recommend Morzine and the surrounding area as a great place to visit at any time of the year. -

The best house is in Le Biot, chez Lory!
Easy access each day to Avoriaz, Morzine, Le Gets, Neon, Chatel, or a number of resorts all within 15 mins drive. With the largest number of ski runs in the world, Portes de Soleil is the best for skiing!!
Tip - buy your pass on a daily basis...some resorts are much cheaper than others! Works out much cheaper than a full pass for the whole area!
Take a picnic for your lunches...lots of great spots to stop and watch the world go by...do some "extreme deck-chairing"!
Off there in 2 days time...yippeeeeeee! -

Andy from United Kingdom
Morzine is an excellent resort, to be recommended.
I have just finished a week there and had an excellent time.
It has that traditional feel to it and if you want the "Big Brash" feeling, Avoriaz is just up the road.As for the English language skills of the local population, I think one previous poster put it quite succinctly when they questioned the likelihood of finding a bus driver in the UK, even in a tourist area, speaking French or German, or anything apart from English, for that matter!
Blithely going around expecting everyone to speak English for the lazy Brits is not conducive to building an amicable relationship with the host country. When was the last time you a heard a foreign language announcement, issued by the airport, (not an airline) at Heathrow?
I pass through Heathrow often, and I'm still waiting.... -

But i thought they understood you if you shouted?
just joking - before i get the self righteous lot on the attack.
Morzine is a great Town and beautiful to ski in, think people should always have due respect when they are guests in others countries.Have a go at a bit of french while you are there- otherwise how much time did you waste in school? Vast majority of french people react positively when you make the effort.
