23 Reasons Why Morzine Is The Best Seasonaire Town On The Planet
It’s that time of year again. Another winter season is coming to the end. The chalets are all packed away. The streets and slopes are empty. The snow is melting (or actually, just starting again, thanks to another freak last-day-of-the-season-dump).
For many of us, it means leaving our beloved ski town is coming closer. In my case, it’s Morzine, a small French ski town with enough British-speaking residents to think you’re actually in Brighton, not the Alps.
Here’s why I think it’s the best seasonaire town in the world…
1) It’s not the tallest or the most gnarly resort in France…
2) But it is a genuinely HUGE ski area
3) With plenty of sick hidden backcountry spots
4) Just think about those powder days ripping around Happy Valley
5) And fresh tracks down the Vallee de la Manche
6) Slushy spring days in the Arare park
7) And ripping through the Stash
8) It’s actually a pretty good-looking town, unlike some French resorts…
9) The French locals are generally pretty good natured to the thousands of Brits that invade their home every year
10) And attempt to speak to them in their mother tongue
11) What would we do without sweaty Sunday nights in Cafe Chaud?
12) Rad snow festivals, like Rock The Pistes
13) And cramming into the Marmotte d’Or on a Tuesday for the live music
14) We will miss the non-stray dogs that like to take themselves off for walks around town
15) The lethal local pints
16) Evenings spent being entertained by these guys
17) And picking up fresh bread at 5am from the bakery after a night out. Wait, what you didn’t know that trick?
18) Morzine is home to some of the best freshly brewed beer and nachos in the Alps, thanks to Le Bec Jaune
19) And burgers…
20) And we can’t forget Mammas for being our faithful friend on hungover Thursday evenings
21) It’s also pretty damn good in the summer too…
22) But most of all, it’s the rad people that make Morzine better than the rest
23) So, who’s coming back next year?
