“Let’s do it in a campervan” he said. “It’ll be amazing,” he said. And in fairness, for 85 percent of the trip, he’s been right. I’ll get to the other 15 percent shortly!
Ali from 44 South in Morzine gives us a run down of her recent road bike race the Time Megeve....
I dare not look down. As I edge across a 10 centimetre wide plank of wood 100 feet above the ground, with only a cable to hang onto, I’m wondering what on earth I’ve got myself into...
"The worst thing about holidaying in Morzine is having to leave"!
The Portes du Soleil is famous for its skiing, snowboarding and cycling, but it doesn’t stop there. You don’t have to hop on a bike to experience the incredible beauty of the region, simply put on your walking shoes.
If you like a challenge, a thigh burner, a bit of a scramble and views to die for, this one’s for you.
You don’t have to go far to find romance in the Portes du Soleil - why not take a wintry walk by the river, enjoy a hot chocolate at the top of a mountain or sip a warming vin chaud under the stars?
The weather is picking up nicely today and for the coming weekend and is forecast to stay warm and sunny into next week – happy days. The Pleney telecabine is now up and running and Les Gets is open this weekend and will stay open during the week for the rest of the season.
What more could you want from a weekend of mountain biking in the Alps but sunshine, rain, mud, great people, great trails and a lot of cheese!
There’s no doubt that most people come to Morzine to experience the amazing snowboarding and skiing that the Portes du Solei has to offer, however hidden underneath the colourful maze of amazing pistes and runs, there’s a much more sedate activity you can do - snowshoeing.
As ever the summer has flown by in a blur of sunny weather and lots of bike riding. It’s been one of the best summers weather wise since I have been here - August was particularly good. Of late a few more wet days have crept onto the scene but nothing significant, the skies are still predominantly blue.
So for the last few days, we’ve been helping you make the most of your holiday to the Portes du Soleil. We’ve been helping you find the sun and that all important holiday tan, we’ve helped you cool down in the shade with a nice glass of wine, we’ve found you a party and we’ve uncovered the summer of events here in the PDS. So what next? “There’s more?” I hear you say..
Every now and then it's a great idea to relax and unwind in a spa, and there's no better excuse than giving your tired ski legs and bodies a bit of a pamper..
If the snow and the beautiful mountains haven’t got you feeling festive yet, the fact that there’s a bumper list of amazing things planned for Christmas and New Year certainly will!
Thankfully this weekend the weather took a small break from being terrible and we had bright sunshine for first lifts on the Chavanne in Les Gets.

Morzine sits in a beautiful valley, surrounded by mountains, snowy peaks and rolling hills. The whole region is amazing for hiking and trail running and there’s no shortage of routes to choose from. However, the immediate skyline around the village is dominated by three peaks: Nantaux, Ressachaux and Nyon.
