Nightlife Previews and reviews in Morzine

To help you choose where to celebrate, we've selected some of the best parties in resort for you to welcome 2018 with a bang.

In principle I’m not a fan of resort bars whacking a massive entry fee on their New Year’s Eve offering. Some of the bars in Morzine that are usually free to enter (and very much fun once you’re in there), price their New Years entertainment at around €20 per person, and include ONE free drink. But why? Yes, it’s a busy night but there are no more punters in town than on many other nights of the year. And who wants to stay in just one bar anyway? So, determined not to spend a single euro on entry fees, here’s how my NYE went down in Morzine…

Bonjour again from Morzine. It seems the 2 weeks of freezing cold weather has finally abated and we can now look forward to some sun and making the most of the recent dump of snow. Half term week is in full flow so the town is at its busiest so far this season and the piste pretty crowded but that only means one thing….good apres and a great atmosphere!

I think we should start by apologising for the lack of apres reports over the past two weeks. Our only excuse is that we’ve been having so much fun in the sun and on the piste with lots of friends coming out to stay and lots of birthdays to celebrate that we just haven’t had time to stay indoors!

Hello again from freeeeezing Morzine! It seems a touch of Siberia has descended into the valley this week with temperatures dropping down to -14 in town and -25 up on the slopes! So, whilst it’s been great for the snow, the fingers and toes have definitely suffered and the apres this week has definitely been more for indoor venues than outdoor.

Whilst it's highly unlikely that you’re having a dry January if you’re on holiday in a ski resort, there are other things to do in the Portes du Soleil after the lifts close for the day. We decided that it'd be a good idea to take a look at some of Morzine and Les Gets’ après activities that don’t involve a load of Mutzig and Jagerbombing and the results are below.....

There's a lot going on this week with some great events, live music and apres ski parties.

When I moved to Morzine three years ago the only decent band on the apres scene were a 70’s funk and soul cover group called Funkadelique. They’d pack out every venue they played and although elements of the band would change now and then, you could always rely on Funkadelique for a good night out. Things are very different in Morzine these days!

With the pistes packed out this week owing to the February half term holidays, the balance between hours on the hill and hours in the bar has shifted somewhat. You’re more likely to find me stretched out on the sunny terrace of Bar La Barque in Montriond than huffing and puffing my way through a lift queue.

There's plenty going on this week in Morzine, Les Gets & Avoriaz. Take a look at our pick of this week's events.
