WEDDINGS
Imagine saying ‘I do!’ under a beautiful blue sky as the fresh mountain breeze flitters past and the sound of champagne corks popping rumbles around the mountain. It’s a dream that several couples make a reality here in Morzine, Les Gets and Avoriaz every summer. From the shores of Lake Montriond to the heights of Restaurant La Pointe de Nyon, the charm and character of The Farmhouse to the stunning views of Mont Blanc from Le Vaffieu, there are many perfect wedding venues to choose from. Couples with their hearts set on a mountain wedding will find loads of experienced local photographers, caterers, videographers, cake makers, hairdressers and anything else you might need to make your big day go with a bang.
BRUNCH
Whilst the concept of dining half way between breakfast and lunch isn’t new, the brunch craze sweeping across Morzine and Les Gets certainly is and we’re holding the team at Montriond’s La Marmotte d’Or entirely responsible. Where else in the local area can you feast on a monster Club Sandwich in the blissful sunshine overlooking the whole valley? Served only at weekends and packed from start to finish (that’s 10am – 2pm), you’ll find classics including Eggs Benedict and that all-important Full English on the menu. Other very fine brunch hot spots include Satellite Coffee on the Rue du Bourg in Morzine where the menu is fresh, locally sourced and delicious, and Alba in Les Gets where a pot of Yorkshire Tea is a welcome addition to any weekend.
SPINNING
You’d struggle to count the number of different road ride permutations in the local area, but the sheer volume of available kilometers hasn’t stopped the growth of spin classes in Morzine. Spinning inside the relatively warm, controlled environment of a fitness studio is far preferable to lugging your road bike through the variable conditions of a Morzine winter, and perhaps because of this, Buzz Performance Spinning classes have been packed to the brim since they launched in January. The summer timetable includes classes to suit all schedules and whether you’re new to a saddle or you’re an experienced roadie, you’re sure to find the sessions both challenging and rewarding.
